BioYou can find my fanfic (Ranma, Evangelion, Harry Potter, a little Farscape, and a few random bits of other things) at either my website or on FFN at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/130525/.
As for the rest, I'm male, single, play Irish traditional music, write, and still wonder if Smurfs turn red when cooked. I'm a graduate student--my university and field I prefer not to share here, as it's a small department and, while I have nothing here that I'm ashamed of, I prefer to keep the fannish aspects of my life separate from the professional part. Anything else you can either work out from my interests list and my posts or are welcome to ask. (If you're someone with need to know, I'll even tell you :-)
Politically, I am neither Whig nor Tory; in other words, neither liberal nor conservative in the conventionally accepted fashions. I have nothing but contempt for any scheme of English-language spelling reform that does not involve undoing the great vowel shift and restoring ð and þ to their proper places. I use the second person singular whenever possible, pronounce some medial gutterals, and have a slight dislike for the metric system.
Ní chainteóir dhúchais mé, ach is fearr liom Gaeilge ná Béarla. Táim níos clachtach i mBéarla, ach táim níos cairdiúil i nGaeilge. Ní maith liom an caighdeán. Is maith go leor liom gach canúint éile, ach is brea liom an canúint Uladh.
For obvious reasons, I've added a few interests to my own which I took from the list of those censored by LJ from their "Most Popular Interests" page.
Fanfiction clichés which annoy me: "everybody's gay" (I'm not overly fond of "everybody's straight," either), bursts of present tense in the midst of past-tense fics, characters talking about or listening to pop music and movies from ten years after the time when the story should be taking place, and katanas in Western settings without a damn good reason for being there ("They're cooler" is not an excuse; they're not. "I don't know anything about swords except from watching anime" is not an excuse, either.).
Friending Policy:
Go ahead. But do let me know about it, please, at least if you expect me to friend you back? I don't have to know folk well to friend them, but I do sort of like to know who I'm friending and why. Especially if we've not had much prior contact. There's not much here other than my personal life stuff that ever gets f-locked.
