sabcatt | Sticky 1: Intro & Info (Reply)

[Note: to be updated as things change / I think of anything I want to add / the stars align.]

Name: East
Age: zillenial, ie, too young to be a real millennial but old enough to get offended at the very IDEA of being seen as a zoomer
Pronouns: any except she/her and he/him (recommend e/em/eirs for clarity and ease of use, but I genuinely don't care)

Location: Minnesota, with a California backstory
Occupation: art maker, wrench brandisher, fader adjuster, power tool user, and part-time opera knower

Fannish interests (current obsessions italicized): Ace Attorney, Baldur's Gate 3, Bubble Comics, Danger Days, DC (mostly comics), Doctor Who (old, nu, and wilderness eras), FOB, Fullmetal Alchemist, Granada Holmes, Legends of Tomorrow, Les Mis, Leverage, Marvel (Spider-verse movies, X-Men comics), MCR, theater (musical and otherwise), the Silmarillion, Star Trek, Star Wars, Torchwood, Umbrella Academy, audio dramas (mostly podcasts, but not exclusively; ask me which ones!), some classic (ie black-and-white era) movies, some REALLY BAD tv and movies, other stuff probably

Other interests: TTRPGs (Pathfinder 2E, Ironsworn, getting into some FitD stuff; D&D 5e/5.5e mainly by virtue of being grandfathered in), my various original characters & works, technical theater, Judaism, narratology, visual art, gardening, poetry, human anatomy, and of course writing

What I'm doing here: I am a Tumblr native since 2013 (which is now over a decade past... yay?), and I like Tumblr a lot, but it's not great for in-depth conversations and I like having a slower-moving, text-based corner of the internet to hang out in instead. I use Dreamwidth partly as an archive for my fan stuff, partly as a repository for random thoughts and links, and I hope to also use it to talk to other internet people more about the stuff we share.

This journal will consist of: Personal posts, fanfic, essays and meta on things I'm a fan of as well as fandom itself, original fiction and poetry. (This includes some sexually explicit fanfic and origfic, which will be signposted but not necessarily locked.)

New people policy: I want to make friends! Feel free to subscribe to me, even if you don't know me—I will probably subscribe to you back, if we have interests in common. (And sometimes even if we don't.) Anything I don't want actual strangers seeing is locked, usually stuff that's more vent-y; if it's not locked, I want comments! I love comments. Feed me the comments.

Blanket yes for everything with no credit needed (although it would be nice!). Please feel free to remix, rework, recycle, revive, reconstruct, deconstruct, dismember, appropriate, misappropriate, or steal from my fanworks as you desire. They are dedicated to the public domain, and to the hope that we will see a robust creative commons, free of the capitalist nightmare of copyright, within our days.

I'm open to works inspired by my non-fanwork creative writing (anything supertitled "Origfic" and under a p: tag), but unlike the permissions for my fanworks, I ask that you please don't repost, translate, or podfic those without linking back to me.
