INTERESTS; I really love Role-play, for the most part Harry Potter at the moment. I have a lot of original characters wandering around inside my head too, and tend to play vampires whenever I get the chance, either in a modern or historical fantasy setting. I’m a student of Ancient History, I’d like to specialise in the history of homosexuality in Greece and Rome. I’m at university at the moment, hoping to go on and do a PhD and write some books on the subject when I’m done. I’m also into photography, and have sold one or two prints online. I like architectural photography rather than portraits, etc, because I’m more interested in form and colour and line than emotion and human expression in photographic media. I read, I like some anime and manga, especially Ghost in the Shell. I used to read a lot of yaoi, and although still like it, don’t collect any of the books like I used to. But when I did I had the full series of Gravitation, FAKE, and many other things along those lines. I also live in a house with two naughty little kittens. And I’m a website administrator of Cardiff University Sci-Fi Society, and I love Science Fiction dearly. I’m a liberal of Jewish ancestry, European, and a supporter of human rights. This includes gay rights, gene therapy, and the right to common sense.
HOBBIES; For the most part, my hobbies reflect my interests. I love role-playing, and am in the process of setting up a French-revolution based game with my fiancé. It’s called toujoursliberer although it’s not really ready yet. At the moment, I’m more involved in the HP fandom, playing Lucius Malfoy, Antonin Dolohov, Igor Karkaroff, Evan Rosier and many other death eaters in my time.
But I also enjoy several other film and TV based fandoms: NCIS, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, StarGate SG1, Scarlet Pimpernel, etc. There is a long list in the “Interest” section of my profile, and that will give you a better idea. I read, although not as much fiction as I’d like to anymore, but I do have time to read fanfiction, especially that based around the characters and pairings that I love. I often prefer my own personal fanon to the real canon, but I suppose everyone gets that way sometimes. I also like Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, especially the Watch of Ankh-Morpork, his collaboration with Neil Gaiman on Good Omens. I like The Stainless Steel Rat books, which doesn’t seem to have much of a following any more, and I like Sharpe, Cadfael, Poirot, and the Regeneration series by Pat Baker, although it gave me shell shock. I’m a fan of research, and especially projects that make published works, like the Classics, free to read and study online. I also like Wikipedia, for all its failings, and could spend hours and hours on it a day. I like ICHC, Engrish, and I love blogging. My email inbox is my home page.
LOOKING FOR; I used to write fanfiction although I’ve sort of lost the muses. I’d really like to get back into it, and so I’d really like some friends who would offer me inspiration and prompts for different things. I love to write for people (and get comments!) rather than just for writings sake. But I’d also like friends who wouldn’t mind doing strange little role-plays either over AIM or email or IJ or whatever. I'd like to get back into doing weird little role-plays on anything at all. Otherwise, if you think I sound vaguely interesting/amusing than I'd be glad to be friends with you.
ANYTHING ELSE; Random information about me is on my profile page. You can probably learn rather a lot about me through my icons too. You can also ask me random questions via IJ private messaging if you like. Please feel free to add me to your flist, although I warn you my blog is made up of more RL-stuff (especially bitching about my landlord at the moment) I hope to get back into posting Meta and fandom related things soon.
