About me: I've been online since I was a young weirdo, and now I have become an elder weirdo. I'm one of the folks who got my start over on Livejournal, actually, and then had to emigrate when it went to shit. I've had a Dreamwidth ever since. Even though I'll float around to other sites for a while, this is the stable foundation of my internet presence and I will try (keyword: try) to copy the posts and things that matter most to me over here for posterity.

I'm in Fandom, capital F, because even when I'm not in a particular fandom, I am still hanging out with people who are, participating in the culture and community and all that. At the moment, I am between fandoms, unless you count friends' original characters and settings (the ultimate small fandoms!). Although truthfully I almost never completely fall out of them. Perennial favorites include Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, Devil May Cry, Farscape, Star Trek, Star Wars (I mostly lurk the original series although some of the recent series have given me the tingle), Coldfire Trilogy, Trigun, Hannibal, Transformers... An incomplete list.

I get into book fandoms a lot. I am also a huge fan of some things I'm not in fandom about, such as Lord of the Rings, Quantum Leap, Babylon 5, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer and a wide variety of other TV shows and anime and yet more books and comics.

And gardening, and birds. Especially parrots. I have a box of bulbs that just arrived that needs planting this weekend. Also libraries, and social media. I believe in preserving culture for the future, but also that people deserve control of their own information. I believe in a decentralized internet and I actively support small and startup platforms like Dreamwidth, Pillowfort and Neocities, the indieweb and federation.

About My Journal: Fandom, personal life, gardening, birds, whatever is on my mind. Somehow recently not my writing. I have been writing! I have a whole bunch of short stories I could and should AND WILL copy over here. Any minute now.

I do vanish for fairly long periods sometimes, when I get distracted by shinies elsewhere. But I come back eventually.

What I Write: Historically, a lot of fanfiction. Lately I've been working more on my own original stories, though. Usually queer/genderqueer. I like fantasy, scifi and horror--that speculative fiction goodness. I write sex (often weird), and violence, sometimes together, and I like getting deep into my characters' heads and exploring their inner worlds and the dark corners of them and their worlds. The monsters scratching at the door of the mental basement. Also sometimes monsters outside the characters' heads. And then sometimes I write fluffy cute stuff. Mostly short, though. God I want to finish a novel but I can't seem to get past about 12k words.

What I Don't Write: Novels, apparently. Coffee shop AUs. Normal life or anything that makes me dwell too much on the actual world we have, because I live here full time as it is.

What I Read: A lot of the same things I write. And novels. I have a stack of nonfiction I keep meaning to break into and getting distracted from but conceptually I do enjoy a good book about interesting facets of history, how birds think, the secrets of soil, black holes, that kind of thing.

What I Don't Read: A lot of the same things I don't write. And my TBR pile I GUESS.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Sometimes! I am, not to toot my own horn, a pretty kickass beta reader, but in recent times I haven't had the spoons for it very much. Hopefully I'll get them back because I find it a wonderful opportunity for friendship and mutual growth.

lovecatcadillac

Name: Emily

Age: Mid-thirties

Location: Australian Eastern Standard Time

About Me: I'm a 35-year-old lesbian who lives in Sydney with my lovely wife. I'm very fond of history (especially of girls, women, LGBT+ communities, people of colour, migrant communities, children and families). I also love all kinds of scary movies, coming of age narratives, embroidery, karaoke and museums.

About My Journal: I've only just started my journal, but I'd like to use it as a place to enthuse about the things I love (like books, movies, television and nostalgic things), as well as to reflect on the writing and research process.

What I Write: The young adult novel I'm working on is an ensemble comedy-drama set in the early 2000s. In the future, I'd love to write the three H's: humour, horror and historical fiction.

What I Don't Write: I don't write straightforward romance (although I do incorporate romantic narratives into my stories) or high fantasy.

What I Read: In terms of work for adults, I love Grady Hendrix, Daniel Kraus, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, Sarah Waters, Carmen Maria Machado, Greg Jenner, Sarah Miller and Emily Carroll. My favourite kids'/YA authors are Robin Klein and Jacqueline Wilson (primarily her older stuff). Throughout my life, Klein and Wilson have been instrumental in shaping my authorial voice.

What I Don't Read: I feel a bit alienated by stories where the characters are all self-actualised and therapised up to their eyeballs, and where marginalised identities have no bearing on the plot. To each their own, I personally just find it interesting and cathartic when characters' identities shape how they interact with the world, at least to some extent.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Certainly! I'm a pretty good editor. I would be most interested in exchanging crit with another writer.

miscellanium

Name: miscellanium, misc or misce for short

Age: over 30

Location: usa, central time

About Me: historian & archivist stuck in a dead-end job (for the time being) so i like to do what i can to keep my wits sharp, and that includes writing. i've been writing since i was in elementary school (shitty pokemon fanfiction on my district-provided emate during class, lol) and look forward to developing further while also working to rediscover the creative joy and freedom of those days.

About My Journal: i try to post approximately once a week or every two weeks. mostly media discussion, fannish or otherwise, with a smattering of semi-personal talk. at the moment i do not have any friends-only entries. i do have a community for only posting creative work, if you'd rather follow

angelfeast, but it's updated sporadically.

What I Write: fanfiction and original fiction both. i think both can be of equal artistic merit and i am not fond of people who devalue fanfiction as somehow automatically less creative.
i dabble in poetry from time to time but my focus is on prose. my usual approach could probably be described as more on the "literary" side of things, since my emphasis tends to be on characters' interiority, though i can and do write silly stories and kinky porn uwu

What I Don't Write: nonfiction (unless it's academic research)

What I Read: i can enjoy just about any genre provided the prose and characters appeal to me. highbrow, lowbrow, shameless porn, it's all good. i do have a strong preference for trans/queer characters.

What I Don't Read: true crime is really my only hard line. i don't seek out non-porn m/f or f/f stuff on my own, though i won't recoil if asked to read it as long as it doesn't have a squick of mine. i enjoy reading nonfiction in general but if it's not historical then it needs to be recommended to me.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: for sure! i don't mind reading for spelling/grammar or providing feedback, though i can't promise a quick turnaround since i do work full-time. nothing wildly over 10k, please. i may be a fast reader but i'm not that fast, lol.

ysabetwordsmith

Name:

ysabetwordsmith

Location: Illinois

About Me: I live in Illinois with my lifepartner, in a large Victorian farmhouse with a yard frequented by wildlife. There is a lively magical community in the area, including a coven and various solitaries, and I’m active in community networking. I enjoy suspension-of-disbelief bungee-jumping and spelunking in other people’s reality tunnels.

About My Journal: I post almost every day, often several times a day. If you're looking for an active blog, this is a good bet; if you're easily overwhelmed, not so much. I post a lot about writing, some nature and current events, especially science news. I share my gardening and birdfeeding experiences, with photos in the warmer months. I'm an active supporter of crowdfunding and often link to other people's projects.

What I Write: I write primarily original work, and some fanfic for fun. I post a lot of poetry, some fiction and nonfiction. My most popular fanfic series is Love Is For Children (The Avengers). See my Serial Poetry page and How To articles. The first Tuesday of each month, I host a Poetry Fishbowl in blog; people give me prompts and I write poems based on whatever I get. Next up will be February 1 with a theme of "flipping expectations." I also participate in the

crowdfunding Creative Jam mid-month. Next up will be February 19-20 on "hopefulness."

What I Read: Anything with words on it. I am particularly fond of sociological speculative fiction and xenolinguistics.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Yes. In addition to being a professional writer, I am also a professional editor. I rarely do editing for free.

Current Mood: creative

sparrowfart

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.

roadmagician

Name: Rowan

Age: 26

Location: Australia

About me: I'm also on Ao3 and nanowrimo (as roadmagician)

About my journal: some personal stuff, music, book reviews, venting about writing

What I write: SF/F. The plot varies but it usually has an element of the Fantastic or Weird about it. I love applying plots from other genres to SF/F and playing around with tropes (eg. drama/slice-of-life/mystery/thriller/horror). As I get older I find myself preferring the struggles of older protagonists and broader casts of characters. For fanfiction, I tend to either write 'fix-it' stuff for works I don't even like that much, or romance and erotica.

What I don't write: Straight romance. Drama in a 'mundane' setting. Anything relentlessly bleak and grimdark. For fanfic, I won't write stuff along the lines of ABO and mpreg, anything underage or incest, gore, fetish stuff.

What I read: Big fan of stuff in the vein of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, so Rivers of London is my jam. Spec-fic with an unusual bent - Gormenghast, China Mieville, Mortal Engines, there was this whole series about sky pirates I loved as a kid which I can't remember the name of... Will always love Ursula LeGuin for giving me A Wizard of Earthsea as a child. Shades of horror (Dracula.) I like Lovecraft in theory for the ideas he spawned, in practice... no. Mystery with an historical feel (ACD Holmes, Christie, Sayers, Chesterton...) I also really love comedy along the lines of P.G. Wodehouse and Cold Comfort Farm. Right now I'm big into nonfiction (science stuff, medical). Interested in reading more magical realism, and more LGBT romance with a happy ending.

What I don't read: not as much SF/F these days, ironically. I became a picky reader at the age of 10 after I burned out on fantasy. Am very "over" The Hero's Journey, though I can appreciate its usefulness as a learning tool and have used it myself. See also: my 'don't write' list.

Could I edit someone else's work: Possibly. I'm open to beta reading.

thechromabooks

Introduction

Hey there! I’m a fantasy author and illustrator. Whether you’re here for advice posts, stories, illustrations, or all three, I’m happy to have you around!

Female. Not straight. Over 18. She/her pronouns, please. My favourite stories are Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe, and The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.

What I Post

If you like magical lesbian cat-elves, you've come to the right place! I tend to write Dark, High Fantasy with female protagonists, many of whom are LGBT+. All of my works, collectively referred to as The Chroma Books, are set in my original fantasy universe The Chromaverse.

In terms of writing advice, my goal is to decode common sayings and examine many more topics ranging from storycraft to characters to worldbuilding with logic. Writing—and writing well—is already difficult. It doesn't have to be mystifying. I can't write for you, but I can explain my understanding of craft basics in a clear, meaningful way.

Posting Schedule

* Tips and Tricks Tuesdays (Writing From The Heart)

* Flash Fiction Fridays (Thirty Three Tales of War)

* Sunday Book Review (Wattpad Only)

What I Do Not Post

Fanfiction or anything meant to be erotic. I pretty much stick to high and/or dark fantasy in both reading and writing.

Am I Available For Editing?

I have toyed with the idea of editing on the side before. Since I have no professional experience yet (but plenty of the casual variety), I've got a special tier on my Patreon for 5000 words at a rate of half a cent per word.

kalium

Name: Currently going by Kalium

Age: Thirtysomething

Location: Durham, UK

About Me: I'm a person! Not into this current trend of listing all my demographic categories, most of them mean little to me anyway. Trying to work out who I am despite the fact that I should have done that years ago, but face it, does anyone know? Sometimes I think I just exist to make worlds and stories. I'm cool with that. I try to make an effort to be kind even if it's hard.

About My Journal: Life updates and things I made. I like to post and talk about my creations at length and would love to meet others who do the same. Please note the caution on my profile page related to stuff I may rant about (Tumblr messed me up pretty bad, is what I'm saying, and I barely even used the place!). Also note I don't post about politics or current events and would prefer not to follow people who do, it's too anxiety-inducing.

What I Write: You can see a list of my stories and 'verses here. Mostly noncommercial original fantasy works, plenty of worldbuilding. I've done NaNoWriMo every year since 2003. It's like my religion.

What I Don't Write: Smut/kinks (sorry, but I'm asexual!), most fanfiction (I have one on the go and it's a borderline case).

What I Read: Fantasy, sci-fi, fanfiction for things I like.

What I Don't Read: Smut/kinkfic again. Dystopian settings - I find hope more empowering.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: No, I can barely edit my own!

eroprincess

Name: EroPrincess, or you can call me Nesha

Age: 34

Location: USA

About Me: I'm just a hood chick who writes sexy stories. I also play video games... badly. Currently I'm obsessed with everything Mortal Kombat.

About My Journal: My journal will feature most of my fanfics and my original works. I also post my opinions about certain characters/series that I'm a fan of under the tag #from a fangirl's perspective.

What I Write: I write salacious, brusque-styled fanfiction featuring heterosexual couples. The lascivious nature of my writing has gotten me into some trouble in the past with people who didn't agree with the sexiness of my fictions. I don't really care, though. I'm gonna write what I wanna. I'm also getting my feet wet in writing original fiction.

What I Don't Write: I'm not experienced in writing yaoi/yuri. Also, no one will ever convince me to write anything featuring bestiality, incest, romanticizing rape/abuse, loli/shota, extreme kink, etc. Even I have my limits.

What I Read: Currently reading Mortal Kombat fanfics right now. I mostly read adult fanfiction, though.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I couldn't because I'm a major procrastinator.

Current Mood: calm

draconic_flare

Name: Rori

Age: 21

Location: U.S.

About Me: I'm one of the many new members currently migrating over from Tumblr. I'm currently trying to establish a regular writing schedule (I hope to be writing daily by graduation), as writing is one of the things that brings me the most joy in the world. I also hope to improve my own writing skills in the process, as I often doubt my writing abilities. I tend to be a bit shy, and it takes me a while to really open up to others. Aside from writing, I love music, reading, and either watching theories or video essays on YouTube or rewatching my favorite shows. I'm looking forward to hopefully making some new friends!

About My Journal: Right now, I currently plan for my journal to act as, well, a journal for both my thoughts on various topics and my writing, both for fanfics and original works. I also plan to have some analytical posts in the future studying various Greek mythological figures, aspects of fandoms I'm in, and potentially things going on in the LGBTQ+ community (I'm a biromantic asexual somewhere on the non-binary spectrum). From time to time, I also plan on doing reviews for books and albums that I've encountered, though I do not plan on making this a main component of the journal.

What I Write: I currently tend to write long-form fanfics and original fiction, though I am trying to write shorter pieces as well. I tend towards speculative fiction, though three of my current projects are somewhat historical. For fanfics, I usually write AUs and enjoy soulmate AUs a lot. For my current fandoms, I only have Katekyo Hitman Reborn! fics up, but I currently have a couple of Harry Potter fics in the works and also plan to write for Miraculous Ladybug soon.

What I Don't Write: I don't ever plan to write erotica, and I also don't really care for horror, thrillers, or gore either. I don't currently write comedy, true crime, or mysteries, though I might potentially try my hand at the latter in the future.

What I Read: I read pretty much what I write (in other words, speculative fiction), though I prefer stories featuring LGBTQ+ and/or POC characters, as I happen to be both. I currently switch between YA and more mature works, as I appreciate both for different reasons. For fanfics, I tend to read either plot-driven or character-driven stories - I'm not the biggest fan of fics that focus on the more "cutesy" or sensual aspects of relationships. The main fandoms I read are Harry Potter, KHR! and Miraculous, though I do read the occasional The Good Place, MCU, and Percy Jackson fanfic as well.

What I Don't Read: Erotica and anything that falls under it, though I might make an exception for fanfics in my fandoms if the characters are particularly well written, or if the plot is intriguing enough. On the other hand, I also don't care for pure fluff most of the time.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: In theory, yes, but at the moment, no. I will say when I believe I am able to, however.

stefanie_bean

Name: Stef
Age: Entering crone-dom
Country: USA

I'm an LJ refugee nostalgic for the "old ways" before FB, tumblr, twitter etc.

Writing interests: LOST, Phantom of the Opera, and original fic.

What I write: Mostly romance (longfic), with some gen (mostly one-shots.)

Most postings: My fanfic, plus how-the-sausage-is-made notes about same.

More: I'm open to serious discussion about writing: narrative structures, literary themes & devices, tropes, and my favorite: mythological and religious influences in fiction. Most of what I do online is write, or talk about writing.

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

ex_aroceu318

Name: Aro

Age: 20s

Location: east coast USA

About Me: I'm really looking to make new friends on Dreamwidth! My own journal doesn't have much aside from self-indulgent things, and I can be terribly shy, but I'm very enthusiastic about the UI on Dreamwidth so I want more friends here. At the moment I'm enthusiastic about a movie which had an active fandom three years ago (welp), I'm very opinionated though I'm trying to be less abrasive about it, and sometimes I also webdesign but with questionable results.

About My Journal: It's mostly for fandom-related things that aren't fics, recs, or for others. The most interesting thing on it is probably my all time favorites rec list. I do have a Dreamwidth for actual journaling, but I keep up with my feed here and I want to spice up my flist.

What I Write: Fiction, romance, fanfiction of course. I really like mixing drama and humor; sometimes there's angst or friendship. I'm not very good at worldbuilding/sci-fi type things though, mostly because I don't think I have the practiced imagination for it.

What I Don't Write: I abide by the philosophy that I should try everything at least once. So so far I have not tried supernatural type stories or horror stories, although I definitely hope to one day.

What I Read: Everything! Well, am willing to, anyway. What I like to read is fantasy, YA, romance (LGBT especially), mystery, and of course comedy again.

What I Don't Read: Again, I don't think I really have the imagination for sci-fi. Although I do like Star Wars. But I haven't tried it very much, so if anyone has recs to get a noob like me into the genre...

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Yes, I can. I love editing.

Oh, and a note to the mods: the form code for this has a stray "</textbox" within the code without a closing bracket.

saintbounty

Name: saintbounty

Age: 25

Location: Pennsylvania, USA

About Me: What about me? 25 year old queer cyber-witch, re-immersing herself in journaling as a practice and still piecing together my online writing community. I was on LJ as a young adult and I miss the vibe. I have deceptively little chill.

About My Journal: Mostly personal, but also some writing, and some talking about writing and books and TV. My day job in tech support and small electronics repair takes up a lot of my energy, and I got a few irons in the fire.

What I Write: Personal essays, poetry, genre fiction (read: fantasy, I guess!).

What I Want to Write: Romance, creative non-fiction, comics.

What I Read: Essays, poetry (I get like 10 poem-of-the-day emails), literally any fiction story with lesbians, a gaggle of web and print comics, newsletters about the future.

What I Want To Read: Better fiction stories with lesbians, and more nonfiction. I'm always down for good sci-fi and fantasy, and I have a soft spot for YA, as I suspect many folks do.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I'd love to.

Current Mood: optimistic

perfectworry

Name: Frances J., or Meep

Age: 20something

Location: Tokyo, Japan

About Me: I'm a twentysomething queerish girlwoman expatriate librarian-at-arms. I eat books and bleed poetry.
… er, that's what it says on the Twitter account that I admit to at work, but I'm writing this from a mattress on the floor and eating an ice cream in my pajamas on a Friday evening, in between shuffling my new tarot cards and watching trashy movies. (The Twitter account I don't admit to at work is

transpacifique.)

About My Journal: This is where I post any writing worth sharing. (If you're on LJ, my "journal"/diary is

meepalicious.)

What I Write: I write stories for my friends. I love to co-write or share a 'verse and characters, so most of my recent work is collaborative stuff or my half of a story, or my characters' side of something. I like writing about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances, or extraordinary people trying to live ordinary lives. I like fantasy (high and, especially, urban), historical, contemporary and, yes, romance. I like to write underrepresented queer romances; expect to see a lot of queer women, ménages à trois, gender nonconforming and/or asexual characters.
I'm an active participant in

writerverse, so many of my stories are challenge responses. Sometimes I dabble in

rainbowfic.
I'm starting to dabble in poetry and creative nonfiction.

What I Don't Write: I don't write horror, smut, or hard sci-fi.

What I Read: I'm a children's librarian, so I read a lot of kidlit. Online, I'll read most anything, except for what I don't. (See below.) I like to read (and write) about happy, stable queer relationships, the kind of people I might like to be friends with if I met them, and fuzzy warm feelings.

What I Don't Read: I don't read what I don't write, but I might make an exception for hard sci-fi.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Sure! I'm a bit rusty, but I used to spend hours a day copy and content editing for friends online. I would be happy to be a beta reader and critique partner; that's actually what I'm here for. I mean, I hope we will be friends, but I'd love to meet some creative collaborators!

elydesia

Name: kiwa (KEY-wah)
Age: 20 (almost 21, yo)
Location: West Coast Canada
About Me: I've been creating stories for as long as I can remember. My earliest written work was from 2002, when my uncle was trying to get me to write something everyday to improve my then-horrible printing. It was a story about two cats and their owners who eventually fell in love (so cliche don't even). Outside of the general theme of literature, I enjoy history (1800s-1900s), design (interior, mostly), and food. I love food, and I love cooking for people. I'm only really good at soups and sandwiches, though. Can't say what I cook looks all that great, but it tastes good. I also really love looking at photo and art galleries. I spend a lot of time on image bookmarking sites like ffffound, reform, we♥it, etc.
About My Journal: A mix of dairy and written work. Some screenshots from playing video games, and some photos from my instagram. But 80% writing.
What I Write: speculative fiction, freeverse poetry, mystery, horror and gore. Romance. Sometimes I just write fluff, but I enjoy thick atmospheres the most, where there is a bigger picture happening and what I'm showing you right now is only a teeny-tiny bit of it. I used to be really into longass chapters and these really super lengthy plots. But I think I've shortened quite a bit since then. I've developed a pretty strong taste for vignettes and other forms of short fiction. edit: just made a writing journal. it's called ethosa.
What I Don't Write: sex. I mean the descriptive kind of erotica. I'll grace over scenes like that, but mostly for my reader's comfort. Oh, and I don't write action scenes very well.
What I Read: Exactly what I write. I love space and stuff. I love reading weird things, but still make sense in their own quirky way.
What I Don't Read: I hate storylines that are weird and "out there" just for the sake of being different or unique. And trust me, it's really easy to tell. Those kinds of things are just trash, ugly garbage.
Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Yes. I could. If they ask nicely C:

ps. - tried looking at the already existing tags to tag this right!

Name: Salya (Will not post real name unless I have to..)

Age: 25

Location: Arkansas, USA

About Me: I'm a somewhat normal girl, yet not so normal. xD

About My Journal: My journal is well random. I'll post story ideas, graphics, rl facts and maybe one-shots.

What I Write: Original fantasy stories and Fanfictions.

What I Don't Write: Death stories, nor anything that I can't write. xD

What I Read: Fanfictions about my favorite anime/game/book character nor anything fantasy based original story.

What I Don't Read: Death, Killing... scary and such like that.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: hmm somewhat. But since I'm not that good of a writer, I can only edit for someone who is badder then me. Not that I can be picky, since I only suck at spelling, gummer* and such.

k_a_webb

Name: Kayleigh

Age: 24

Location: England, on the South Coast

About Me: I'm a crowdfunded writer, attempting to make a living doing wht I love; I live with my boyfriend of seven years in a room that we've been renting for just over six months; I'm a pagan; and I make friends much better online that I do in real life, because I'm a hundred times better at writing than I am at speaking.

About My Journal: my writing journal is

kajones_writing, which is where I mirror all the fiction I post at my website. There I post original fiction and the occasional piece of fanfiction, although that's normally fanfic set in another crowdfunded writer's original world. I love worldbuilding, so I also have a wiki for everything I currently have written about my worlds and a lot of empty pages.

What I Write: fantasy mostly, although I'll try my hand at pretty much anything

What I Don't Write: non-fiction, but I would love to at some point, and hard sci-fi, because I have a creative brain rather than a logical one

What I Read: fantasy, historical fiction, and pretty much anything if something about the story really interests me. One of the things I hate is sex for the sake of sex when I'm reading a fantasy or urban fantasy story, although I do like a gd bit of erotica.

What I Don't Read: I don't know. I'll try pretty much anything. It's mostly stories I don't like, rather than genres.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I could, although I'm better at typos and grammar than I am at storyline stuff.

Current Mood: hopeful

meepalicious, and if you still use that sinking ship of a site, you are welcome to add me there if you're looking for a friend.

what I write: (in no particular order): original (urban fantasy, magical realism, shoddily researched historical fiction, worldhopping/multiverses), fanfic (including, but not limited to, Harry Potter and TSUBASA: RESERvoir CHRoNiCLE) & you can expect to find f/f, some m/m, kidfic, and schmoopy romance mixed into all of the above, most of it quite short (but I'm working on that)

what I don't write: generally (scary things (e.g., horror or apocalyptic), sexy things)

what I read: fanfic for my fandoms/pairings (see profile(s)), urban fantasy & magical realism, short fic (books)

what I don't read: see, what I don't write

could I edit someone else's work: absolutely, I would love to give (& receive) feedback and critique
