Active/primary interests or fandoms: Harry Potter is my only fandom. But I’m also interested in fandom in general, reading and writing fiction in general, languages (having e.g. translated poetry from Modern Greek into Finnish, decades ago but anyway), learning, education (working as Kindergarten teacher also for children with special needs), theatre (acting in a small community theatre troop), art and activism, mental health problems (due to someone in the family), (left-wing) politics, queer issues...
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: In 2003 – 2010 I published fic – gen and subtle slash – mainly about Remus and Sirius on FictionAlley and live journal, and enjoyed discussing fic (not only mine), composing long comments on fic of various kinds. (This year I'm back, addicted to my fictional universe, and now seeking more interaction.)
I post about: At the moment not much yet on DW – just a bit about writing fic and participating in challenges. But I could write more about fandom and writing in general and about my other interests, in addition to posting all my fic, and even something about real life, in case I get more friends to share it all with.
I post/check my feed: I post now perhaps monthly but check my feed at least once a day.
I want to find people that post about: First of all, people who are still (despite any disappointments) interested in Harry Potter fanfic but also people who share any of my interests and who have wider interests (in fandoms) than I have.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW, lj, AO3
My blog is: At the moment public – selectively once or if I start posting about real life
Anything else you need to know about me: I’ve got three adult sons but figured out ten years ago that I’m queer. Or perhaps you didn’t need to know that. Anyway, I love fiction and all art as interaction and as a means to develop our understanding of what it means to be human. I tend to get solemn at times, for instance when defending the active recipient’s right for interpretation and extrapolation.
