BioThe Journal:
This journal is about 60% fandom babble, 40% RL (where "RL" generally translates to "grad school, books, and teaching"), depending on the time of year. Current fandoms, to greater or lesser extents, include Babylon 5, Castle, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, Due South, Northern Exposure, and Battlestar Galactica, but don't rule out occasional diversions into any of the others listed in my interests.
Other things you may see in this journal include ballroom dancing, choral music, poetry, critical theory, LOLcats, and cracked-out crossovers that will never be written.
The Writer:
I'm in the second year of my M.A. in English, which means I have this one year left as an academic before I go back to the real world. I'm writing my thesis on contemporary Irish poet Eavan Boland, whose work I adore with an unholy passion. I'm also teaching freshman composition--a general 101 class in the fall, and a 102 class centered around science fiction in the spring. I came out of undergrad with a degree in English and creative writing, and while I'm more of a poet than a fiction writer, I try to keep up with both. You might see some of it here.
As far as I'm concerned, just about anything can be made into a joke or a pun. Don't take me seriously. I certainly don't.
I have a healthy obsession with many, many television shows (primarily sci-fi) and various SFF books and other kinds of books. I babble a lot about them in this journal. Fandom sucked me in when I was twelve, and I've never looked back. It's more fun here anyway.
I have a digital camera and I'm not afraid to use it. My junior year abroad in the UK can be expressed mathematically as 9 months = 4,000 digital photos. Oh, yes.
The Fic:
I write fanfic in fits and spurts. I post everything on this tag first, then archive it on this page, which is all categorized and pretty and easy to find things on. I also put things up at the AO3.
The Art:
I make icons sometimes; they are located on this tag. The couple mood themes I've done are here. If you're interested in taking anything I've made, go right ahead! Credit would be greatly appreciated if you do take anything.
The Vids:
I've made four fanvids so far. I would like to make more. You can find anything vid-related here.
