kevindolenzName: Liz
Age: 23
Location: Cleveland, OH (USA)
About Me: Journalist, designer, creative type, non-MMO/text roleplayer, feline fan, booze drinker, binge-watcher, compulsive reader, music enthusiast, native Arkansan, reserved but sarcastic personality
About My Journal: I'm back to online journaling after a four to five-year absence. I spent most of my formative years using Livejournal and Greatestjournal on various accounts, most of which was personal writing. My DW page follows suit, but it will likely feature prompt submissions or fandom-related writing at a later date.
What I Write: Given my experience with roleplaying, most of my writing is descriptive and character-driven. I seldom write fanfiction that involves canonical characters, so OCs are a big thing with me in the sci-fi/horror/fantasy realm. The material that doesn't fit into those genres is personal and/or about music, the latter of which is written in a journalistic style.
What I Don't Write: Romance. I am open to threading a love story through a more complex plotline, but I never write fics or original stories where a relationship is the focal point. I'm also not enthusiastic about ships/OTPs because I feel they swallow better parts of a saga.
What I Read: Rob Sheffield, Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard, Haruki Murakami, Lester Bangs, Ray Bradbury, Sylvia Plath, Sarah Vowell, Patti Smith -- I'm really into dark/existential sci-fi at the moment (The Atrocity Exhibition is one of my all-time favorites), but my tastes are extremely varied.
What I Don't Read: Westerns, romance and high fantasy. I don't enjoy reading novels and stories with plots that are too removed from reality. This does not mean I dislike fantastic elements; I'm just not into worlds that are entirely mythical.
Edit?: It really depends on the content. I served as managing editor for my college newspaper, so most of my editorial knowledge is based on media law and Associated Press style. I'd like to think I'm knowledgable about what's good and what's bad in creative writing, but I think I'd need an overview/synopsis of the work in question before agreeing to edit it.
