Life: About Me

[escritoireazul]

People moving (sometimes back) to Dreamwidth and snickfic's friending meme made me think it's time for a public About Me post.

First, I have a post linking to a bunch of master lists and locked about me posts.

Second, here's a short About Me post. Longer ones are locked, but I give access to pretty much everyone who requests it. (Oh, this is a good time for a quick note about how I use Dreamwidth: I follow people who seem interesting, pop in and out sporadically, and am most active here around Trick or Treat and Yuletide. Access policy already described. I also have a blanket permission policy for fanworks: Please feel free to translate, record podfic, make art for, create works inspired by, or otherwise transform any of my fic. I'd love a link to your piece, just so I can take a look, if possible. You can reach me via email at escritoireazul@gmail.com.)

I'm broadly fannish, have written fic in 72 fandoms (see my profile for a list and how I break down some fandoms), and participate each year in Trick or Treat and Yuletide. (I'm considering adding Chocolate Box to that as well.) I also talk (under lock) about a recapping project I do under a pseud.

I'm a light-skinned biracial woman in my 30s, queer, bipolar, and very liberal. I live in an extremely conservative part of an already red state, so that's fun. I live with my partner, J, and my dog, who has a number of ridiculous nicknames around here. I tend to lock details about my personal life, and I sort of vaguely keep this account separate from my professional account, so I appreciate you not linking them (or the recapping pseud) if you know about them all.

I'm involved in a couple podcast projects, one as the pseud one in a professional capacity, so when I link to them, that'll be locked, too. Sometimes I attend conventions. Sometimes I travel. I'm very close to most of my family and have a tight group of friends from fandom, grad school, and my family. I write and make art.

Questions? Ask away.

Hi!

72 fandoms. That is mindbogglingly impressive.

[rthstewart]

WOW

[escritoireazul]

:D

[escritoireazul]

Thank you! It's mostly one-offs for fic exchanges, so not as impressive as if I wrote regularly in all of them, but I do like the breadth of them. (And I try to write in at least one new fandom each year.)

[starlitshore]

Coming from someone who's only ever written in two fandoms and mostly just ravenously consumes fic, I have to thank you for being so dedicated to sharing your work with so many different people!

I have the most fun with the shorter word limit exchanges (even if I still mostly ending up writing >1000) and Chocolate Box is pretty fun :D i've never been very good at sticking to one fandom so 72 sounds super.

That's part of what I love about Trick or Treat; I always write (and receive) fic over the limit, but the low number takes off a ton of the pressure and makes it easier to write treats, which I love. I think Chocolate Box will be right up my alley there.

Yeah, I'm not good at sticking to one fandom, either. At this point, I just embrace the variety.

You sound interesting, and "nice to meet you!"

Thank you! Nice to meet you as well.
