Welcome, Friends!
Jan. 7th, 2027 08:17 pmHello!
If you're a new friend, welcome! If you're an old friend, thanks for sticking around.
If you're thinking about whether you want to follow me, here's what I like to talk about:
Here's a bit about me, if you're interested:
If you're a new friend, welcome! If you're an old friend, thanks for sticking around.
If you're thinking about whether you want to follow me, here's what I like to talk about:
- Reading, what I'm reading, what I like to read, meta about what I've read... lots of that.
- I'm signed up for the Fannish 50 challenge and I'm planning to write 50 posts of meta analyzing angst in fiction and what works for me/what doesn't. Or I might get bored with that and switch to a series of posts about 50 characters whom I want to have dinner with. Either way, it will be 50 posts and it will be about books.
- I should mention that I love angst, whump, sad stories about good people in shitty situations. Given my planned theme of the Fandom 50, that's going to come up a lot. So, warning for that I guess.
- Sometimes I blog about my personal life (traveling, goal setting, etc) and sometimes I talk about politics. I put political talk behind a cut if you want to skip that.
Here's a bit about me, if you're interested:
- I love to read, and do so on the regular. I have read a lot of fanfiction, but lately I've been enjoying novels a lot more. Thanks to the internet and fandom, I've refined my skill in zeroing in on the kinds of books that make me go all weak in the knees and desperate for more.
- I have lots and lots of hobbies, including cooking, learning Italian, political and community activism, sewing (clothing and quilting), calligraphy, papercrafts, writing, reading, board games, American and European card games, and various fitness activities. If you want to talk about any of these things, OMG I WOULD BE SO EXCITED TO DO THAT.
- Some things about me: I'm an over 30yo woman from the USA. I'm married and we have a cat. (Edit 2024: and now also a toddler.)
- Some of my personal beliefs: I'm a liberal, progressive, borderline socialist (I believe in the idea of a basic income for all), but I have a lot of respect for people who disagree with my views (libertarians, for example) and I think they're generally good, thoughtful folk. I love to discuss political philosophy, and have often had my mind changed. I'm an atheist. I'm a vegan. I try to be a minimalist, but I have the soul of a magpie and I tend to accumulate things. <-- If you disagree with any of these views, please know that I still respect you and your own life choices. I try not to be presumptuous, and I like to err on the side of assuming the best of everyone.
- I'm currently obsessed with the following tiny (non-existent) fandoms. If you like any of them, please friend me immediately and I will be SO freakin' happy:
- The Rifter by Ginn Hale
- Dragon's Winter by Elizabeth A. Lynn
- Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman
- The Half Bad Series by Sally Green
- Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat
- Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb (I'm actually still reading this so I'm trying to avoid spoilers but I'm looking forward to jumping into the fandom!)
