Pronouns: they/them
Age bracket: 30+

Fandoms: Most of my fic is in Harry Potter, and I’m working to integrate old books: The Charioteer and David Blaize are two current hits. I would love suggestions for more!
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? Book reviews and fandom meta—I’m an essay-reflection person. I’m trying to do shorter weekly updates, maybe with linkspam, since I love reading those.
Anything else you'd like us to know? I’m taking a break from tumblr, which had been my main fannish social media, so I’m still figuring out what works for me here.

Harry Potter and crafting, want to give it a go?

[phantomtomato]

Sure!

I find your meta interesting. Feel free to drop by my blog and see if it appeals to you.

Your Harry Potter fics look really interesting, I'm keeping them open in a tab to read somewhen! I love reading good fics about Tom Riddle, and the ships you've written are ones I haven't read before. 👀

I like some book reviews and fandom meta, so I've added you. Also curious about what crafts you do?

[phantomtomato]

Thank you! Yeah, I’m a sucker for rarepairs—finding new ship tags to create in a megafandom is so fun. And Tom is my ultimate blorbo. <3

Added you back, I like your writing process meta! I knit at the moment, and love anything crafty.

Agreed! I've had a lot of fun creating new ship tags in some of my old fandoms, although they've never been as large as the Harry Potter fandom. (Then again, few things are!)

And Tom is my ultimate blorbo. <3

I can understand why! There's a lot of time periods to explore with him, and so many different angles you can take on him as a person, especially in his earlier life. I've read a fair amount of fic with him, and it's always fun seeing the different ways he can still feel in-character. (And sometimes feel out of character, but in an also enjoyable way!)

Added you back, I like your writing process meta! I knit at the moment, and love anything crafty.

Thank you! Hopefully I will post more, although I haven't been writing as much this year as I thought I would.

Knitting is so cool! Fibrecraft stuff like that looks like it takes a lot of patience to learn, I'm a big admirer of it.

Ah, the hugeness of HP is… sure something.

Well, if you ever feel moved to chat about Tom Riddle fic or his fantastic potential in his earlier life, feel free to shoot me a DM! Otherwise I will look out for you/your posts. :)
