I'm shyfoxling on LiveJournal. I did not rename that account to match this one on 1/16/2024 because I didn't want to give LJ money and didn't feel safe doing so.

If you're an LJ person who'd like to comment but don't want to get a DW account for whatever reason, here's a very informative post on creating and/or confirming the email address on an existing OpenID account so you can do so. (If you're a friend of someone who imported their LJ comments to DW, like, say, me, it's likely an OpenID account already exists here for your LJ name, and you can "claim" it.)

Since some people are still requiring age statements and my birthdate above is access-only and minus the year: Yes'm, I am over 18. ("Are you getting nervous? I'm over twenty-one." "Twenty-one? She's over forty-one!"--MST3K, "The Brain That Wouldn't Die")

Quick note on circling: I don't read absolutely everyone I give access to. (Obviously, I also don't give access to everyone I subscribe to, but that's kind of the point of the split system.) It's fairly rare, but it may be the case that while I don't mind you having access to my locked content (not that there's much), you don't write the kind of fic I'm personally interested in, or whatever. I'm also not currently reading everyone I gave access to in the past, but by the same token haven't unfriended them because I don't mind them seeing the few locked posts I make.

This journal began life as primarily a Harry Potter fan journal and it's pretty much solely that prior to November 2014. After that point there is some Doctor Who content as well as occasional posts about other fandoms, but I didn't write in any of them or nor in Harry Potter any more. I got into Monkey Island in the fall of 2021, but nobody seems to have heard of that here, so while I do post links to my own fics on AO3, I don't usually do things like share fanart or meta posts. If you want that kind of content, I suggest following my Tumblr arcanetrivia.

In light of persistent rumors of Tumblr's imminent demise (Yet Again), although I'm not sure how many people would really come to Dreamwidth if it really did sink, in April 2025 I created a community for Monkey Island: monkeyisland (aren't I clever?). It's still somewhat under construction as of May (particularly, I need to write some posting guidelines).
