Welcome weary traveller,

You seem to have stumbled upon my journal and you are welcome to stay and have a look around. Here are some things that you may be wondering about:

Kat: Female, fabulously in my forties, Finnish but living in the UK, academic, university lecturer, writer, poet, fandom slut, geeky, polyamorous, pansexual, kinky, romantic, fluffy-headed, soft-hearted, open-minded, strong-willed, observant, introspective, over-analytical, assertive, prone to working way too much, sarcastic, silly, tactile. Also into cats (not like that) and woolly socks (maybe a little bit like that).

Fandoms: All of them, all the time? I don't really leave fandoms so much as collect them and then become less active in them. But I always return to them eventually. I consume fanworks and media far more widely than I produce fanworks, and I've produced fanworks in... *goes to count* over 70 fandoms so... You can check my (always woefully out of date) list of interests or AO3 profile MistressKat to get an idea. Or ask what my current obsession is and I'll happily elaborate.

Other social media presence: Uhhh... Not really. DW remains my main presence on the web, largely because I don't have mental energy to maintain a lot of social media (I'm one of those people who never got a Facebook even!). I have a locked poetry journal on DW as well for my own work: boneverse

Fanworks: Apart for some co-authored verses and older graphics/icons that need to be migrated, everything should be on my AO3. I also still post things on DW (nostalgia) and here you can find things under relevant tags such as my fanfiction or my graphics.

Transformative works policy? YES, DO IT! I welcome all transformative works based on my fanworks. Please feel free to remix, make fanart, podfic, fanmixes etc. However, I ask that you a) acknowledge my work and link to it, and b) please, please drop me a line somewhere (comment here, pm, AO3...) about it because I want to squee and admire!

Questions/comments: Are very welcome!

I love the alliteration here!

I'm the same with fandoms. I don't really leave them but just become much less active in them.

Fandoms: All of them, all the time?

That's a good way to describe it. I'm jumping back and forth between the fandoms and even if it takes years, there's seemingly always a memory or a crossover that brings me back to a fandom. Last year I rediscovered a fandom after over a decade in which I thought I would never really get back into it - proof that fandoms only ever lurk on the back burner for me, ready to jump back to the front when I least expect it at times :)

Hello! I'm here from corvidology who I friended for the K-pop posts, who said I could look you up because you like K-pop too. :D

Hello! Popping over from the kpop comm friending meme (an active kpop comm on Dreamwidth, truly the dream).

All of them, all the time? This is exactly how I feel about fandoms! And then when you throw tiny fandoms and then podficcing into the list haha.

I really resonate with Dreamwidth being such a great speed (and I get behind on comments here too).

Or ask what my current obsession is and I'll happily elaborate. *chinhands* Please!
