Once upon a time, I attempted to generalize the sort of stuff that I write. That shattered under the weight of two blows: firstly, that I have long periods of writing nothing at all, and secondly, that I can surprise even myself. I hereby resign the attempt.

I do occasionally collaborate with Creare. In addition to 'lol CsR', our Wittenberg-era Hamlet pieces (labeled accordingly in their titles), although not written jointly, take place within the same universe--the same understanding of the characters. Though all non-slash, some of these pieces (at risk of comparing ourselves to the Bard) probably contain about as much subtext as the play itself. We also both write (less ridiculous) Julius Caesar fanfic, although these do not belong to any joint canon to the extent that our Wittenberg work does.

My habits for reading stories up here are a trifle erratic: sometimes I abandon the place for weeks altogether, but then there are days where I dive into most fandoms I know anything about. In my more moderate wanderings, I typically look into Garth Nix (variously Keys to the Kingdom or Abhorsen), Cadfael, Lord Peter Wimsey, Shakespeare, and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

I also still occasionally hunt about for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fics that are not in it's own nifty section and collect them together in my C2 - The King's Ravens. Should you still find yourself deficient in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fanfiction, I would recommend the LiveJournal group, The Famulus.

'Well, now,' you say, 'I'm sure that's all very nice, but what about you? Who and what are you?'

I live in the U.S.; I grew up on the west coast, currently live in the south and attend a university on the east coast. Fascinatingly, the town in which I grew up and my university are on opposite ends of the same highway.

My likes are various, somewhat capricious and not very well mirrored in the above listing of favorite fandoms. In particular, I am exceedingly finicky with regard to those works which are my especial favorites, and I avoid certain fandoms more or less indiscriminately though I very much love the original movie or book(s).

I play the viola and compose music occasionally for that instrument and occasionally to make poems into songs (so far, one from JS&MN and five from Tolkien). I enjoy languages, and am currently studying Latin and Ancient Greek. At college, I act in plays put on by the Shakespeare club.
