Hello!

[theskimblishone.livejournal.com]

Name: Kim
Age: 25
Gender: Female.
Sexuality: Lesbian.
Location: South of Melbourne, Australia.
Occupation: Warehouse/office assistant.
Hair: Long, blonde. I really mean long, as in 'down to the seat of the chair' long...
Eyes: Any colour, depending on the light, my mood, my clothes, and a million other factors...
Language: (Australian) English.
Looking for: A place to chatter about writing, and to make some new writing friends.
Tattoos/Piercings: Not at the moment, but I want piercings, at least.
Religion: Chocolate. C'mon, don't tell me it's not a god! ;)
Do you want LJ friends? The more the merrier.
Do you want Snail mail pen-pals? Oddly enough, I usually start sending physical mail to those people I get to know well anyway, so why not?
About me (basics): I have a cat and a dog, love horses, majored in Lit/Anthropology at university, spend way too much time wrestling the compulsion to use adverbs, thinking up cool ways to play with vampire stereotypes, and eating too much chocolate.
Hobbies: Writing, reading, collecting My Little Pony, watching some SF TV.
Music: Nearly any slightly melodic, European heavy metal genre. Lately it's Scar Symmetry, Epica, Insomium, Skyfire, Shade Empire. Always Kamelot and Dark Tranquillity. Chances are I've at least heard of a band you like if it's metal, melodic, and European...
Books: Fantasy. George R R Martin, Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson, Lois McMaster Bujold and Patrick Rothfuss are my favourite authors.
TV: Firefly, Stargates SG1, Atlantis and Universe, Star Trek TNG, The Big Bang Theory.
Movies: Lord of the Rings, Serenity, Stardust, The Last Samurai, The Patriot. I'm not huge on movies, though.
What do you write: Fantasy, queer fiction, fantasy with queer-identifying characters. My current projects are a paranormal romance with a little less romance, some humour, and lots of playing with vampire tropes; and an alternate 1850s-Australia-meets-American-Old-West-meets-fantasy novella series.

*waves a huge hello to everyone and looks forward to reading some great stories*

Welcome to writers_loft! (:
I'm new here too.

Thank you! :)

Welcome! You have good tastes in films! :D Look forward to reading your stuff.

Thank you for the welcome! (LOL, if I'm actually going to watch a film, it's got to be good, right?)

Welcome! LOTR, Firefly, George R.R. Martin AND My Little Pony?? So much awesome ;D

And, yes, chocolate is a god.

I think I love you just for adding 'AND My Little Pony'. ;) Everyone knows the first three are awesome, but not so much on the fourth at times!

Thank you for the welcome!

Welcome! :D I think you're the first person I've "met" who likes/knows Epica. I <3 them. And Sirenia, Leaves' Eyes... European melodic metal is awesome.

And... I majored in Anthropology, too! I'm studying it for a Masters now. Woo.

This is all to say, it's nice to meet you, and I'm looking forward to reading stuff from you! If you want, feel free to friend me and I'll friend you back! :)

I don't know too many people with my taste in music, so I'll be sure to friend you! (Oh, Liv Kristine's voice is gorgeous; I rather prefer old Sirenia, though.) I've just bought Design Your Universe - amazing. I've lost count of how many times I've played it already...

Oh, wow, your masters? I did my honours thesis, and then gave it up, so I definitely have to applaud you!

Some of my writing's in my journal, although I do have things I mean to post, eventually, and see if anyone'd help me with feedback.

Thank you for the welcome! :)
