beelikejHello! In the old days this post at the top of my LiveJournal & Dreamwidth would be called the "comment-to-be-added-post", these days it's a sticky post; I make a new one every year:)
My journal is not locked; you are welcome to read all my posts. I am a hermit, but I do like to interact here with fellow fangirls or passers-by and I encourage you to comment on any of my posts at any time. (I especially love responses to my artposts; it's NEVER too late to tell me what you think of those *grins*)
If you find my journal's dark background hard on the eyes:
you can watch any page on LJ and DW in your own journal's style by adding ?style=mine behind the url. or if you add ?format=light, you get the standard lay-out with the white background. (If the url already contains a questionmark, use an ampersand (&) instead:)
Also: I made a step-by-step post on how to back-up your LJ [DW]
Despite my occasional use of harsh language and posts about sensitive or personal subjects, I chose to not put an age warning on my journal. I will not censor what I choose to share online. I'm a green left voting atheist woman, HEAR ME ROAR!
I was an active participant in several fandoms, as a moderator and artwork creator; there are links in my sidebar if you want to explore any of the fancommunities I played in:)
If you're curious about my creations, you can check my Artmasterlists, that are also on top of my LJ & DW. I made so many fanworks over the years, I had to split the list in two:
Artmasterlist 2010-2018 [DW] | Artmasterlist 2019 and beyond [DW])
To remind myself there is more to life than being online,
I keep my booklist at the top of my LJ. That's ironic, Alanis.
