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 [community profile] 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.

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!

Greetings!

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.
