Snowflake Challenge: Introduce Yourself
Jan. 1st, 2021 09:48 am From here. This is for a fandom challenge, so non fandom people, feel free to breeze past as it's pretty fandom heavy.
Hi! I'm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
author_by_night aka AuthorByNight and a bunch of other variations.
I'm fandom middle aged; I basically spend half my fandom time lamenting that I'm the last generation who remembers going online until the streetlights went out. Or rather, until someone needed to use the phone. I spend the rest of my time trying to impress the new generation of fandom by telling everyone to "take it sleazy". For some reason, that hasn't worked. Beginning to think I need a new method. What music do young people listen to? Anyone know? I want to be the cool mom, damn it!
All joking aside, I'm not <i>so</i> old fashioned. I've gotten into watching fannish YouTube videos and listening to fannish podcasts, and I also love getting fannish on LiveWidth when the opportunity presents itself. I don't write fanfic anymore, but I've had the occasional impulse to do so. I have a WIP I really should finish. I stopped because a lot of really bad things happened in the world that were adjacent to themes in the fic, but part of me also thinks the fic needs to be written <i>because</i> of how dark the world has been.
I'm your typical frustrated millennial who really hates being called one by other people, but still calls herself one. I'm a Hufflepuff version of Luna Lovegood with a sizable helping of Hermione Granger, and a little bit of Jess Day from <i>New Girl.</i> Writing is my passion. Owned by a cat who has tragically never been fed. Or so she'd have you believe.
As for anything else, all I can say is that I work for a top secret agency. If I told you anything more than that, Will Smith would have to wipe your memory. Forever. Also, that weird teacher in middle school may have been an alien. You didn't hear it from me.
Looking forward to meeting everyone, and to the subsequent challenges! :)
