Ye Olde 'About Me' Post
Dec. 9th, 2028 01:22 pm I should probably do one of these, yeah?
Name: I go by Dae or Silico.
Age: 30s
Nationality: USA (unfortunately)
Classification soup: white, vaguely female enby (they/them), queer as fuck, neurodivergent, SJW (Social Justice Warlock)
Fannish things I do: writing, cosplay, beta reading, geeking out over fandom as a phenomenon in general, roleplay, dreaming up character playlists
Other things I do: Make noises about learning languages, make noises about science, make noises about fibercraft, kvetch about RL and the current state of the world
Fannish things I'm (historically) most known for: Labyrinth fic, smutty Elder Scrolls fic, Dragon Age femslash, cosplaying DA characters for like five DragonCons in a row, griping about scientific inaccuracy
I'm an enthusiastic beta reader when I've got the energy for it; mutuals can feel free to hit me up for that when you need, and I'll help if I've got bandwidth at the time.
I have a PhD in chemical/biomolecular engineering that I'm still recovering from. Grad school is the tenth circle of hell. But hey, if you have biology-related questions for some reason, chances are I can answer them. (And I'll be happy to do so because I'm terribly pedantic when given any encouragement whatsoever! :D)
My current main obsessions are Hannibal, Sandman, and Pillars of Eternity, but I've got a pretty big handful of 'forever fandoms' I keep coming back to (and I can't decide what the threshold should be for whether or not I list a fandom as an Interest on my profile, honestly - I've enjoyed media from plenty of fandoms that I don't necessarily consider myself to Be In). I also do some original fiction occasionally. I'm super enthusiastic about indie video games and tabletop RPG systems (and non-indie ones as well), so you'll see me posting about those sometimes.
I have a long, somewhat cranky history with Blizzard games. Diablo I was the very first non-kiddie video game I ever finished. I played WoW like it was my job in college (shadow priest and resto druid, mostly), and I played altogether too much Overwatch when it came out in my last year of grad school (support main, but I flex. Favorites to play include Mercy, Ana, Reaper, Dva, Soldier 76, Moira, and Winston).
I have a fluffy demonspawn cat that I love to pieces and talk about sometimes.
And I'm an enthusiastic if recent member of Yarn Fandom - I knit a lot and will occasionally post pictures.
Transformative Works policy: I welcome translations, podfic-ifying, remixes, and other works based on my fics - please send me a message to let me know about the thing, and I will link to it on the fic.
Friending & Interaction: I welcome comments from anyone and everyone on all my posts, unless explicitly stated otherwise (and I have yet to have a reason to state otherwise), whether or not we follow each other. If you add me to your circle, I will most likely add you back at the present time, although that may change if the update rate of my Reading page starts to get unmanageable.
Languages: English is my first language. I speak/understand French well enough to have a conversation in text (my spoken French is rusty as hell, unfortunately, though I could get by if I needed to), and I'm currently applying myself enthusiastically to German. (If you speak either of those fluently and otherwise want to interact, I'd welcome the practice!)
I have also previously spent various amounts of time on (but have not attained any real functional level in) Irish Gaelic, Japanese, Hindi, and Korean. Japanese I have pretty much given up on because I'm sorry, but fuck kanji. (Which is unfortunate, because I spent a pretty substantial amount of time on it and still have close friends who live in Tokyo.) Any of the others might see a period of intensive study at some point in the future, and I'm also really interested in picking up a North Germanic language (either Norweigan or Icelandic).
