Hi! I'm Vii. This is a little about me, since Dreamwidth seems to be sucking me in.

She/her, they/them. Software development engineer who spends all their free time learning about everything except software engineering. I write and draw for fun, and consume fanfiction like mad.

Interests: Original fiction, web novels, webcomics, worldbuilding, linguistics (and conlanging), art, history, technology, psychology... basically everything under the sun. Except (current) politics, which is too divisive too quickly for my taste.

As for specific genres, I like historical fiction, fantasy, especially weird fiction and magical realism, and sci-fi, which I need to read more of.

I eat fanfic for breakfast, but I don't really write fanfic because characterization is hard. Fanart is more likely. I've historically been more of a lurker than a poster, but maybe Dreamwidth's slower pace and finding more communities here will help with that.

So, here's a (non-exhaustive) list of fandoms I have an interest in (as of November 2019):

Fandom Interests

The Addams Family*, Doctor Who, Good Omens, Guardian (镇魂), Hamilton, Harry Potter, Hannibal (NBC), Inception, James Bond (Craig), Jeeves & Wooster*, KHR, Kingsman, Les Miserables (musical, The Brick is to-read), Lucifer (comic), The Magnus Archives, MCU, My Hero Academia, Naruto*, Overwatch*, Pacific Rim, Person of Interest*, Pride and Prejudice, Sandman, Sherlock (BBC, ACD*), The Sentinel*, Stargate (esp. SGA), Steam Powered Giraffe, Supernatural, Temeraire*, Tolkien*, Valdemar, Voltron (Netflix), Welcome to Night Vale, White Collar*, Worm

*I have very limited knowledge of the source material, may or may not return to them, but will read fanfic of it anyway

I'll probably post about linguistics, worldbuilding, writing, drawing, whatever I've been reading and watching lately, and so on. As for fandom stuff, perhaps fic recs, link dumps, and the occasional fanart.

Hello hello! We don't have a huge amount of overlap in terms of fandom, but we totally match up in other interests! :D I hope dreamwidth ends up being a good place for you!

Thanks! This seems like a great place to get to know people at a slower pace. Hoping people stay after the rush ends (myself included ;;)
