User Profile

I normally post under the name Avocado. A few years ago, I was heavily into the Slayers (Anime) fan community, then, later, in the Harry Potter (Snape) slash community. I lost interest in both for various reasons, and have recently regained some of my interest. The journal is named for Naga, the White Serpent, a Slayers character I've always liked-- even if her sole purpose is comic relief.

The primary purpose of this journal is to track other writers. If you are a professional writer and I've read your books and enjoyed them and/or I find your blog entertaining, I will friend you. If you are a fan writer and you wrote something I really like in one of the fandoms I read, I will friend you.

Feel free to friend me back, but I don't mind if you don't. (My friending policy.) If you discover you're banned from this journal (relatively rare), then you may assume I have no desire to talk to you. If the words "cultural appropriation" or "RaceFail" ring a bell, and you said it wasn't a big deal, you even know why.

I do write. Of that, what you're likely to see here is fanwriting only. If you want to comment on my writing-- or even tear it apart-- feel free. I'm a big girl-- not as big as Naga, mind you-- and I can take it.

If you're not interested in fanfiction, you can always read book commentaries. I've read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, and I'll be making my way through my very large collection. Eventually. Warning: I take no prisoners.

Note: I do screen anons, and this journal is set to track IP addresses. To date, I believe I've unscreened all anonymous posts except those left by spambots. LiveJournal seems to be a bit wonky, though; I don't always receive comment notifications.

For fandom readers: I read fandom_wank. It's the same username. You can find me pretty easily. (If you want to share something wanky and don't have a JF account, I suggest wank_report.)
