Posting fanfiction not under my own name. Not that anybody cares what I write under my own name, but I still retain some scraps of ambition.

I write software for a living. I'm married. We have two dogs and a cat and a kitten who isn't kitten-sized any more.

I've been reading fanfic off and on for a while, but it wasn't until watching Buffy for the first time recently that I became moved to write it. It's all about Giles for me, though I'll take off down the Holmes and Watson path now and then. I'm also suffering from the temptation to write crossovers with Doctor Who.

I read at a million miles per hour, so I've read a lot in my life, but never all the things I want to have read. I have read a lot of SF, a reasonable survey of fantasy, the mystery classics, some historic fiction. I always thought I wanted to be a horror writer when I grew up.

Dead writers about whom I am maniacal: Arthur Conan-Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, Patrick O'Brian, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, John Galsworthy.
Living writers whose books I buy the instant they're available, even in hardcover although I have no space for more hardcovers: Iain M. Banks, Steven Brust, Steven Saylor, Connie Willis, Terry Pratchett.

I usually friend back if we've talked before or if it looks like we've got things in common. I tend not to refriend ghost journals. But it hardly matters, because I friend-lock very little these days, on principle. If I friended you and haven't talked to you before, it's because I find you interesting to read and want to make sure I keep up with you. You can friend me back or not as you like. 'Sall okay.
