Profile

I started out in fandom as a Harry Potter fan through and through, and Harry Potter is still my main fandom to write in (and my always passion!). But over the years I expanded to BBC Sherlock and Torchwood... then smaller, obscure Sherlock Holmes versions, too... and lately lots more small fandoms, for example the various works of the brilliant and comedic John Finnemore. I read in those fandoms and some others as well; and read a LOT of books. So the stuff I post about will generally be a combination of those things. :-)


I'm long-ish in fandom but new-ish to Dreamwidth, so I'd be happy to meet people who still like in-depth nerding out over Harry Potter characters (old-school style; I haven't been able to get interested in Cursed Child or even Fantastic Beasts). Other things I'll squee with you about: Cabin Pressure and all things John Finnemore, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sherlock Holmes (all versions), a feminist perspective on any fandom, an LGBTQ+-ally perspective on any fandom, and ALL BOOKS. ;-)


For many years I was a translator; now I'm doing a degree in library science. So, yeah, I think a lot about librarian stuff like: books, yes, but also equality and access and social inclusion, and diversity and representation and own voices writing, and the intersection of kids/teens/young adults + books/creativity/learning and, well, everything... I do a quarterly round-up of the books I especially loved each three months, if you want to come chat about what I've been reading!


In writing, I seem to gravitate to characters who've survived loss (Remus Lupin, Andromeda Tonks) yet somehow come through it still kind and compassionate people. I'll write romances too, but I love genfic! I like realistic happy endings that take work to get to, where no one's all good or all bad. I used to write only canon-compliant stories that explored missing moments and lesser known characters, but lately I've been discovering the fun of delightful hybrids like gothic AUs and fairy tale fusions.

I have an open policy on transformative works: You're very welcome to translate/podfic/fanart/etc. anything I've written (in fact, I love all those things!), just please do cite me as the author & link back to the original from your work. And please send me a link to your translation/podfic/fanart/etc., so I can enjoy and delight in it!


I also have some recs of others' work here.
