Bio:

Me? I'm a whole bunch of things, some of which seem contradictory. I mean, look at my interests list! Lately I mostly use this LJ to vent about work and school, share silliness, rec fanfiction, and do weird stream-of-consciousness stuff on my creative processes, whether relating to bellydance (which I'm gradually doing more of again) or writing (which I've been doing rather a lot of for the past couple of years).

I not only link to but also post adult content in this journal. If you are not at least 18 years old, or whatever the age of legal adulthood is where you are, do not read this journal.

I'm back in college yet again, this for nursing. Of course, this is the perfect time to get obsessive about creative writing, not back when I was finishing up that BA in English and wondering what I was going to do with it mumblemumble years ago. The answer to that question is fanfiction, apparently. It all started with the Vorkosigan fandom when I found myself inspired by

sahiya &

lightgetsin's slashfic novels A Deeper Season (and once you've read that, go catch the sequels What Passing Bells, Seeds, and Other Ways) and

quietann's stories, some of which are based on the ADS-verse, others of which are simply Vorkosiverse-based. So I wrote a couple of Vorkosifics. Then a coworker made a comment, I said I'd never be insane enough to have anything to do with the behemoth that is the Harry Potter Fandom ... and shortly thereafter The Fic That Ate My Life was conceived. It is, naturally, set at Hogwarts. Damnit. ;-)

Are you sure you want to read this nonsense? On your head be it, then. Just remember, I've made no promises that you will find this LJ interesting or even coherent, k?

Besides what I've linked here, you can find my stories at the following archives: Chaos, Ashwinder, OWL, Twisting the Hellmouth, and Adult Fanfiction.Net. (Yes, that last has three links. They break things down by category rather than having one overall listing of an author's stories.)

The

qow mood theme is by

willow_kat, who also made several of my icons. That's one of the things I'll miss most when I let my paid time expire here on LJ.

Recent Nominations/Awards/Shinies:

I'm hugely pleased, especially considering how very little femslash I've written, to have received a judges' nomination for best author at the Kinda Gay Awards:

Also, To Know Who I Am is a featured story on OWL for August 2009:

Older awards/nomination banners and the like can be found here:

Thank you,

ubiquirk for the lovely awards banner!

I hear that Perfect Imagination is going to be offering new certificates to reflect their new multi-fandomness, but until then, here is my older one. I should note that commas remain my weakest link. :-)
