About Me
I am a neurodivergent woman living at home due to mental illness. I earned a bachelor’s in creative writing, with a minor in film studies, several years ago. I have enjoyed reading books and writing fiction since childhood, and I also enjoy watching films and television when I have the time. Some of my other hobbies include working in various fiber arts (mostly crochet and cross-stitch, with occasional knitting), playing video games, and baking sweets.
I currently use this journal to update folks on what’s going on in my life. As such, most entries are locked to just my access list. If you want to make friends, that’s cool; just drop a comment on this entry and I’ll check you out!
One of the things I don’t generally post about very much is fandom-related stuff. I’ve been burned by toxic fandoms in the past (Danny Phantom and Doctor Who, for the curious), so I don’t count myself as an active participant in fannish activities these days. That said, I do still write fanfiction, and I enjoy rambling about my books and shows and movies from time to time.
My primary fannish interests lie in TRON these days, but I have written fanfic for Doctor Who and Pacific Rim in the past. I mostly just write TRON fic these days, though, and most of my fic from fandoms past and current can be found on Archive of Our Own here is a [link] to my profile.
I don’t talk politics very often, but let it be known that I am a flaming liberal who does not truck with TERFs/SWERFs, Nazis, white supremacists/nationalists, misogynists, queerphobes of all varieties, antisemites, Islamophobes, racists, or general dickheads of any political stripe. Miss me with that shit.
So that's me. Again, if you want to make friends, just drop a comment on this entry and I'll check you out!!

| ^ - I like most of Steven Moffat's work that I've seen, including his run on Doctor Who. (More lukewarm towards Sherlock, honestly.) I do not want to hear about how he's Terrible, Actually; I know all the arguments and I'm aware of them, but I have no intention of justifying my likes to strangers. | ||
