Do you have any pets? My sweet kitty Mellie, who is half snow-shoe/half Siamese. She's a cuddle bug most of the time; and she's a service animal in that no matter what she's doing, she jumps into and lies very still in my lap if she senses my epilepsy acting up--even if there are no outward signs.

Is your journal friends only, partial or public?: Partial (mostly FO)

How often do you update?: Usually at least once/week, but occasionally I have an obligation with my 83-year-old mother that takes me away to RL for an extended period. (Longest recently has been 1-1/2 months.)

What do you want in an DW friend?: Someone who understands that RL comes first but will return feedback if they are currently active on the site.

Any closing words/quotes/pictures/gifs/anything else you'd like to add: Regarding ElfQuest: I now know that Richard Pini is a crumbum and has ripped off a lot of people in the fandom world who supposedly had business arrangements with him. However, Wendy has chosen to stay with him while she continues to produce her beautiful works. If she produces more ElfQuest, I will have to find a way to enjoy it with it benefitting her and not him, if possible.

I was writing fanfiction before I knew what it was, and I was definitely a fan of many shows and movies and books from the age of 7. I didn't learn until reading one of my (still unbeknownst to me) fanfiction stories at an English Club meeting at my new university what fandom was. (Two people came over to me and invited me to both a weekly watching party and their monthly writers' group, which published a fanzine back in those days.) So, I consider myself to be "middle fandom" at the age of 55--knowing there are those who are older and fancy themselves "old fandom"--but I joined in when I had to go to a different location just to see the web, and the web was basically just a Google search to nowhere at that time. My, how far we've--Nope, not the appropriate time or place.

All friend requests must reply to the friends only entry (and follow the directions in the profile) because of something that happened to me in fandom in the past. Sorry, but I can't afford any toxicity in my life right now.

Oh, I should also note I have low-to-mid-support-requiring autism complicated by severe depression and anxiety; but given everything I've had to deal with the last two years with my mom's health after Dad passed, I think the Prozac is doing its job. I wouldn't be functioning if it wasn't, trust me.

Another note: All my entries are tagged with trigger warnings, etc., and warnings are given above a cut for any applicable triggers. I have a cousin who can't handle talk about stuff one might see after a child trips and falls on the playground, so...I give ample warnings because I'm a compassionate person.

I try to keep my journal politics/religion free. Should either enter my journal, they will be tagged and cut with trigger warnings for those who don't wish to see them. <3
