necessarian | intro post

hi! welcome to my journal, where you might see me post about how i'm trying to use it more often...

basics:

ren, ao3 user renaissance
she/her
fandom antiquity, prolific lurker, avid collector of minor characters
my main icon (francis abernathy!) was drawn by nautilics
you can read my transformative works policy, mini bio, and a broad list of my self-recs here
i also have a fic sampler of my best works
i do harry potter fic recs with ceu at potterwatch (currently on hiatus)

fic:

currently writing:
- you might belong in hufflepuff part 5, To The Victor - the end of hufflepuff draco's 4th year at hogwarts
- A Colder War, a massive wolfstar canon divergence AU fix-it thing
- on the backburner: turning long for this world (a merthur modern with magic AU romcom) into a one-shot
these days, you'll mostly find harry potter fic on my ao3. i've been writing hp fic since 2005. for many years now, my engagement in this fandom has involved an awareness of jkr's bigotry and an active commitment to writing fic which upholds my principles of leftism and social justice. as jkr has escalated her bigotry, and it becomes more explicit in extended canon, i now consider myself to be a "fan" of the fandom itself; i have been immersed in the fandom for so long that i expect to keep reading and writing hp fic for some time still. however, i don't seek to defend my continued participation in the hp fandom, and i respect anyone who needs to keep their distance because of that.
i used to write for a lot of other fandoms; i might return to some of them now and then, but don't expect any more fic for asoiaf, haikyuu, the raven cycle, and yuri on ice.

friending policy:

feel free to subscribe and chat to me in the comments! i like to make new friends, but you may not be interested in my journal if we have no common interests. i mostly journal about fandom, including WIP amnesties, meta, and fic recs.
incidentally, i have a journal where i do bookkeeping for my fics. if you're interested in that sort of thing you're welcome to have a poke around ravenclawtower, where every post is public.
if we've talked even a little or met via a friending meme with common interests, i'm happy to grant you access. i don't have any specific access filters. most of my access list only posts are a little bit vent-y, and i mention my Top Secret Real Life sometimes, so i'm hesitant to say i'd add anyone, but "some people" is a pretty broad category :-) if you're unsure, leave a comment below.
i am a lurker-type, so if - based on anything in this post - you think i might be interested in subscribing to your journal, you are cordially invited to let me know in a comment on this post.
