About Me: Hobbyist writer, mostly fanfiction. Participant in writing communities. Active on Dreamwidth, tumblr, and AO3.
About My Journal: It's a journal (18+ only!) I post about this and that.
What I Write: Fanfiction, poetry, some original stuff. Genres include Smut, Omegaverse, Mpreg, Yaoi, Romance, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, etc. I lean toward M/M(/M) romances most of all, but I have a friendly attitude toward female characters and F/M F/F ships, sometimes dabble.
What I Don't Write: I tend to avoid writing stories centered around characters younger than 25-ish now, because I'm not that young anymore, and I don't feel that young either, so it doesn't feel right at the moment, if that makes sense?
What I Read: Same as what I write, plus a smattering of books, both fiction and non-fiction. The field of psychology was most relevant to my interests back in college.
What I Don't Read: JK Rowling, anything I know is AI-generated, or any (auto)biographical/non-fiction work affiliated with right-wing thinktanks in my country still alive today.
Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: You can always ask, but my time is limited. I can probably only help edit/revise short works (fewer than 10K words, I would say.)

Five books read in March and six in April. I know I said in an earlier entry I wanted to read a little more slowly and more thoughtfully this year, and it started well, with me only reading five books each in January and February but having actual thoughts about them. But for the last couple months reading has been frustrating, and the slowness is not due to reading thoughtfully but because I'm bored and not reading at all for long stretches. I've been reluctant to DNF anything because none of the books have been bad (although April ended with a splat, see reviews below), and I think the problem is me. I can blame working long hours, but even when I have free time I rarely use that time to read. I'm hoping I can get past this slump soon. I probably just need to be more aggressive about DNFing stuff I'm not having fun reading.
