add_a_writerName: V.
Age: 23
Location: USA (east)
About Me: I like writing in plain text editors and using command-line style checkers that gently insult me every time I make my characters swear.
About My Journal: I post about painters and music for the most part. More personal posts about the boring minutiae of my life are access-locked. In the near future, I will hopefully finish writing a Pokemon fanfiction and post it to my journal as well.
What I Write: Academic journal articles (research methodology, statistics), scripts in a troublesome macro language, and Pokemon fanfiction (horror, humor, gen, shipping)
What I Don't Write: Unfortunately, I am not very good at writing poetry for now. I also have no plans to write "original fiction" in the near future. There are a number of things that I'm not good at writing for the time being (visceral action scenes, detailed descriptions of sex acts) but I may end up writing them in the future when I feel more comfortable with my skill level so I won't count them out.
What I Read: I like to read diverse genres of work, but I like low-romance gen fanfiction the most. When reading stories with romantic pairings, I am omnivorous and don't discriminate between slash, femslash, or het. Fandom-wise, I usually tend to read Harry Potter, Detroit: Become Human, and Pokemon fanfiction. I also enjoy reading medical reference texts, ghost stories, and historical records of vampire myths.
What I Don't Read: I don't like to read very long fluffy works or stories that are entirely focused on sex acts/kinks. I have no problem reading stories where characters are racist/homophobic/sexist/etc. but do not enjoy stories where the narrative uncritically promotes prejudice.
Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I will not edit anything academic because I already have enough of that in my life... If it's a fanfiction for something I'm familiar with, I can edit and provide commentary. If I'm unfamiliar with the source material or if it's not a fanwork, I can edit for grammar and spelling and that sort of thing.
I am fairly comfortable with academic-flavored writing, but still feel new to writing fiction. If anyone has any tips or links to writing advice, I'd really appreciate it!
