Name: sparrow

Age: ~30

Location: Australia

About Me: Possibly overenthusiastic and always up to talk.

About My Journal: I'm still setting up so excuse the mess and lack of content, but there's going to be books and there's going to be writing and there's going to be some fandom stuff. (Just a note about the fandom stuff, but I'm late about 5 years on any given series/movie). Honestly I'm just keen to move on from Tumblr.

What I Write: Mostly character driven work -- people finding their place and where/who they want to be, found family, positive relationships in difficult circumstances, etc.

I also love playing with time, the concept of parallel universes bleeding into each other. I really dig throwing a thin layer of the paranormal across my writing and just messing around with that. Love me some spoopy. I guess that all could be shovelled under the SF blanket.

I'm fond of crime (give me a tumultuous relationship between a cop and a professional criminal and I'm there) and exploration (hollow world theory give me give me, also here for space!).

Also a fan of the various punks, here for all of them but I lean towards optimism and positivity more than anything else and will apply that readily.

Gonna toss this out there for anyone interested, but I'm always down for a joint 'verse/collaborative writing/casual RP. hmu.

What I Don't Write: Anything that doesn't involve the above mentioned, generally. I don't have many HS aged characters. Werewolves, vampires, etc, I don't work with often if at all. Romance as a focal point is not something I do either.

What I Read: I'm big on medical history and exploration, and have read a few books on those topics this year.

Fiction wise it really depends on what I'm feeling and sometimes that means I start three or four books before settling on something. I'm a fan of Anne Carson's work, and have stumbled onto Jane Rawson who I'm looking forward to reading more. Stephen Graham Jones is another author who I'm keen to read more on.

What I Don't Read: Not so big on YA or high fantasy.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I'm happy to beta if it's something I'm interested in and it isn't too long, and if I have the time!

Generally speaking, I'm down to talk about the mechanics of writing and telling you that you got this! Look, I just... really like to write and I'm probably too excited about it at any given moment, haha.

simpleenthusiast

Name: simpleEnthusiast (same on Ao3 and pretty much everywhere)

Age: 22

Location: USA

About Me: I'm a genderfluid NB individual (They/them pronouns, please!) who likes writing fanfiction, but is far better at imagining things rather than ever actually writing stuff down. I'm migrating here due to the Tumblr Purge, and hoping to find some cool writers to... follow? track? subscribe to? ~~I'll get the lingo soon enough.~~

About My Journal: My Journal will contain my SFW works, and I have a link to a "private" community where only I can post my completely self-indulgent porn.

What I Write: 98% Fanfic, usually with some sort of OC of my creation, maybe if I'm really suffering from a bout of crippling depression you'll get some free verse poetry, but that's very few and far between. Porn is definitely on the table as well. Genres inside of fanfic will vary between just about everything, but I thrive in the futuristic. I try to stay as canon compliant as possible, favoring Universe Alterations over Alternate Universes, but sometimes you just gotta take the characters and build a new world for them.

What I Don't Write: SFW: I tend to avoid stuff that is purely romance, but that's about it. NSFW: gore, vore, or anything involving bodily wastes. Both: Real Person Fiction.

What Fandoms I Write: The Fallout Franchise, Steam Powered Giraffe, Star Trek (all of them)

What I Read: I like Hurt/Comfort a lot, but I don't think I have a specific type of thing I like to read. My taste in fiction is fairly eclectic, just like my taste in music.

What I Don't Read: Real Person Fiction. Coffee-shop AUs (or anything along those lines).

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Yes, but my time is limited, so I wouldn't be able to commit to beta reading a long fic. One or two chapters would be my limit.

Current Mood: hopeful

kirasha

Name: Kirasha or JL
Age: 35+

About Me: I hate "about me" things. lol I never know what to write. I'm heading into what society would call middle age and I call "Holy Cow! I made it!" But, I neither look, nor act like it. I'm still an eclectic geek and nerd at heart and fly those banners proudly. I love all things papercrafting and mixed media art. I have a love affair with words, pens, and notebooks. My reputation at the office is one of pure organization, although you'd never know it to look at my house.

About My Journal: I am a casual journaler and commenter. I post when I have the time and inclination. Generally, if I don't feel I have something to add to a conversation other than "me too!", I won't comment. (The exception being hugs when needed.) My journal here is mostly for fannish things and personal things. Topics can everywhere from Marvel to planners to privacy/security to nature-based faiths to what my Second Life avatar is wearing this week.

What I Write: For a living, I write technical documentation and support content. For fun, I write fiction, both fan and original, mostly in some sub-genre of speculative fiction or romance or both.

What I Don't Write: Pregnancy stories, teenage main characters, a variety of hardcore kinks, PWP

What I Read: If it has words, I'll generally give it a shot. But, I tend to read what I write most often: science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, romance, various non-fiction works depending on what I'm researching at the moment. I do a lot of random/just because research. So, the topics really can run the gamut.

What I Don't Read: Badly out of character fanfiction or any of the subjects I don't write.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I do this as part of my job, actually, as well as occasionally beta-reading for fests.

Current Mood: optimistic

no_apologies

Name: Marianne (Mari for short if you prefer)

Age: 32

Location: Southern Maryland, USA

About Me: I've been a blogger on Livejournal since the mid 2000's. Not too long ago, LJ's drastic changes have caused me to post more entries on DW than on my LJ account. I've been writing for so much longer than that... Ever since January of this year, I've been an activist. I've been paying attention to politics some. I am an Independent, and I support Voluntaryism. I strongly think and believe in individuality. I embrace it. I'm for guiding people to think for themselves, because that is so important! We're not meant to just accept things and be herded around like sheep. I am sickened by the collectivism agendas that are on-going. To keep myself from being bitter, or too frustrated, I use humor every now and then to mock all our oppressors, and media trolls.

I also post things about my life.

About My Journal: It's recently transformed into one of other places in which I share my beneficial knowledge. I also share some of my poetry, and even quotations of wisdom. I intend to be at least a little more active with this account.

What I Write: A lot of what I've written this year is political poetry, some of it being satire. I also have done a bit of misc. ones. If I can get back into story writing, then great! For now, it's just been poetry. I know I don't have to be as picky over those. (When it comes to all stories, I tend to be such a perfectionist at times.) It usually doesn't take me long to finish most of them. Sometimes, I write articles based on what I research.

What I Don't Write: erotica, not as much fanfic as I used to, misleading information... I don't write anything in support of TV news or politicians for instance.

What I Read: For much of this year, it's been nonfiction on truths about American Society, important information to know about history, what's been so wrong with public education, etc... I also have read a bit of fan-fiction, a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy, and certain authors such as James Patterson, Jeff Lindsay, Whitley Strieber, Gregory Maguire, and the Monk books (based on that funny old detective TV show) by Lee Goldberg.

I like getting to know new people. I hope to even help out at least some of you. Really, lol, my stuff don't stink! I'm a very thorough researcher, and I back up the facts with my own reasoning and common sense. ...Hey, if you'd like to see a really awesome website for all writers, then I highly recommend writing.com! I love it there. :D Many over there are really nice, and there's much to do.

Current Mood: good

fireez

Name: Fireez

Age: 34

Location: Germany

About Me: I'm a biologist who, due to the lack of jobs for people with my specializations in the area, is now a bookseller-in-training. I'm a geek, a fangirl and a feminist. I have a wide range of interests, from science to humanities and back again. I'm bipolar and an abuse survivor. I have opinions and am not afraid to use them. The same goes for macros and gifs.

About My Journal: My journal is my personal playground where I rant, whine, squee, write more or less coherent reviews of books/movies/comics I've read and talk about my life, which includes writing. I swear. A lot. I use gifs and pictures to express my emotions. I talk about my issues and mental health, sometimes on a filter, sometimes not.

What I Write: Fanfiction and original fiction, though the scales are tipped more in the fanfic direction. I have a writing journal (

sermocinare ) and can also be found on AO3. I'm a huge fan of alternate history, crossovers and horror, but for some reason, my original fic always ends up having crime elements, though I haven't read any crime fiction in years. I blame it on being a huge fan of crime TV.

What I Don't Write: I would have said "romance", only that I'm writing a romance (ok, a romantic thriller, since yeah, crime elements) right now for NaNo, so I guess I can't really say that any more.

What I Read: Tons of fantasy, the less Tolkienesque the better. Horror. YA dystopias. Anything with zombies.YA in general. Non-fiction, mostly of the science/psychology/history kind.

What I Don't Read: Romance novels and literary fiction.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I hardly find enough time to write and edit my own work, so no.
