10 things you already know

I like cereta's "10 Things" meme. It's like I get to do a FAQ on myself.



10 Things You Probably Already Know About Me

1. Slasher. Smut-writer. Here there be adult content. Duh.

2. Female. 41. Married. One child (in first grade). Note: "Monogamously involved with a male person" does not equal "heterosexual."

3. American. White. Southern. I've lived in the Midwest for twenty years, but I'm Southern on corpuscle level.

4. Don't have cable. Mostly don't watch TV. Actually not very fannish. Just here for the porn and the friendship.

5. On dial-up. Hence, not looking at a lot of art or downloading a lot of trailers or watching a lot of vids.

6. Former journalist and technical writer. Attempting to become a pro fiction writer. Currently unemployed, or to put that another way, enjoying a spouse-sponsored arts grant.

7. Wildly introverted. Possibly this translates to "socially inept." I wouldn't know, would I?

8. Like cereta, I consider anything I say online to be a publicly published text. If I didn't want it quoted, discussed, etc., I wouldn't post it. This also means that if you wanted to, say, play Sunday Coneskey in a role-playing game, you wouldn't need to ask my permission (any more than you'd ask Rowling's permission to play Draco Malfoy), though I (unlike Rowling) would get a nice warm feeling if you sent me an e-mail and told me about it.

9. Depending on how much free time I have, how much your interests and mine are overlapping at the moment, and how much I feel like being involved with other people, I friend and unfriend freely. Go thou and do likewise. If you really can't bear to read one more post about Christmas music, you can unfriend me for the season, or forever, without hurting my feelings one bit.

10. I'm an Episcopalian. I live in a horribly conservative diocese where ordaining women is still controversial, so I'm a member of a Presbyterian church, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm Episcopalian. However, I also believe that anything humans say about the Divine is necessarily partial, provisional, and metaphorical. Which means that I don't believe my religion is any more correct than yours -- the most I can say is that it's probably incorrect in different ways.

I'm glad for 9 because I've been wanting to friend you for your fic (guh). I've now started backreading your journal and getting interested in yourself as well, so cheers and hello!

Hello to you too! I never expect anybody to inform me or ask for permission before friending me, and it always surprises me when other people do require that.
