BIO UPDATED AS OF 5/10/10

I don't intend to ever make this bio look pretty, nor do I really intend to keep it current. Hopefully everything I'm writing here will age well.

Over the years, I had a Ujournal, which went down the tubes, a greatestjournal, which went down the tubes, and this livejournal. Obviously I am meant to learn that LJ is the site which will endure, and which I should stick with. It has at times been my writing journal, and my fanfiction journal. At present it is my personal journal as well as my talking-about-writing journal. My journal has always been largely public, but recently I've decided that maybe I should have more control over exactly who can see what.

As of this year, all entries about my personal life should be friendslocked. If you would like to see those, please comment on any public entry and explain to me why you should be friended. If you would just like to see my babble about my writing, all of that should be FULL PUBLIC. If you would like to see the writing itself, you will have to get in touch with me personally about email. I consider it a tradition to post my nanowrimo novel public to my journal, but all other writing will either not be posted, or will be heavily filtered.

This year, I may not post my nanovel publicly. I may post it friendslocked or on a filter.

Just for reference, I have an account on fictionpress.com and an account on fanfiction.net.

In the past, I had one thing to say about my writing. It is as follows:

My original fiction can bit fit into quite a few genres, but almost always includes homosexual/bisexual characters (both male and female) and fantasy elements. Lately, I write more "modern fantasy" than "high fantasy," and I have stories in the works where the main characters might even be STRAIGHT (it probably helps to know that I'm a bisexual female... I relate to gay/bisexual characters better). I also love supernatural/paranormal elements, and have written science fiction and pseudo-horror. I love developing both characters and worlds, although my "plotting" and "pacing" could use some work.

...as of now, I'll say a little bit more. I am a character-centric person. I think of things in terms of characters more than in terms of plot. Or so I thought. But of late, the ideas that latch on and get written, plot came first. I tend to write a lot of character-quest plots. They might not follow the "Hero's Quest" format, but there's something the character wants or needs, and achieving that is the primary plot of the story. I find it really hard to write stories without some form of magical or supernatural element. Plain old modern day bores me horribly. I jump around in genre a little bit, but yeah fantasy is always a part of it.

I still like gay stuff. I'll always like gay stuff. Even when it isn't the point at all, a little bit of homosexual activity likes to make its way into my writing. Homophobes beware.

...but yeah you'll get a lot more of me ranting about my writing in the journal itself.
