Hello Friends!

[bairnsidhe]

Name: Bairn Sidhe (also known as C.G. Webb and Christie)

Age: 29

Location: Kansas City

About Me: I'm a soon-to-be college graduate, living life and trying to figure out if writing can be a career as well as a vocation.  Wiccan, poly, kinky, a-spec, neurodivergent, and a major geek, I'm used to being on the outside of the norm, and I've come to like it out here.  I use she/her pronouns and actively prefer people telling me their pronouns to expecting me to guess.  I room with three cats, two of whom may get mentions in my Muse News segment, the third is rather shy.

About My Journal: Writing, mostly the prose and poetry parts, so far, although when I host prompt days and fishbowls I accept all sorts of challenges.  The main line I've seen people get into is Super Queers, a superheroic setting where a good 90% of the main characters are out of the QUILTBAG of queer orientations and identities, although I have a number of other nascent worlds.

What I Write: Prose, Poetry, Scripts, and Screenplays.  Mostly in fantasy or speculative fiction, I prefer to work with genres that let me stretch and exaggerate, to look at new ideas and shiny thoughts.

What I Don't Write: Literary Fiction, much to the dismay of my writing professors.  Hardcore gore, sympathy-porn, and darkfic (mostly, there are minor exceptions on a case-by case basis).

What I Read: Much the same as what I write, with great fondness for superheroes, epic fantasy with a twist, and time travel.

What I Don't Read: Again, see what I don't write.  I'm also less prone to reading other people's scripts and screenplays, unless actively collaborating on a project.  I prefer to see the work in it's finished form if I'm not working it.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Yes.  I've served as a line editor and as a content beta reader (less actual changes, more notes and feedback to use/disregard as you will).
