Today I'm finally remembering to finish and post an introduction post. Most important thing first:

I am constantly reminded of how far I have yet to come as an ally and as a person, but I just want to put this out there: If ever I do or say anything that makes you feel hurt, unwelcome, or uncomfortable, I promise that I will do my best to listen as calmly and patiently as possible, and if necessary will remove myself from the keyboard for time to calm down so my response will not be reactive or defensive. For any times that I have said anything that has hurt you in the past, I apologize. I'm always trying to do better, and I know that sometimes that's not enough.

Ten things you might want to know about me:

1) I'm a queer, privileged, cis-gendered, white woman.
2) My greatest love in life is writing, both fic and original.
3) My fic can be found in a variety of places, but most of it is available or linked at tuesdayfic.
4) I've been in fandom since 1996, starting at the age of ten when my sister introduced me to the internet. (Yes, that makes me 23.)
5) My best friend is lizfu. You will probably see me talk about her quite often.
6) I am very much a fannish butterfly. There are some fandoms I will turn back to quite often (Psych, for instance, holds a very warm place in my heart), but I am always flitting on to new ones (currently, Leverage is catching my eye), though sometimes I keep a "main" fandom for a while.
7) Sometimes I am in RPFandoms. I've moved away from politifandom (at least, as far as writing and most reading goes), but I'm in The Daily Show/The Colbert Report and Kanye West fandom.
8) I am very much of the belief that diversity is good, and that while my areas of fannish glee or enjoyment don't necessarily match yours, that in no way means that we can't get along.
9) On that note, there are some things that I, for the most part, won't read. These include, but are not limited to: chan, teacher/student relationships, large age gaps, non- or dub-con, and incest. While there are exceptions to these (Gregor/Miles, for one), I have no interest in searching them out. I'm mostly listing this to let you know I won't fill comment-fic requests and to please not surprise me with non-con in something you may ask me to beta for you.
10) For the most part, I'm fairly laid back. Friend, unfriend, access, remove access, subscribe, or unsubscribe at will. I hope you don't take too much offense if I do much the same. Status on my reading list isn't necessarily indicative of how I view our interpersonal relationship.

If ever you have any questions or comments, consider this a free post to nudge me.
