10 things you already know
I like cereta's "10 Things" meme. It's like I get to do a FAQ on myself.

10 Things You Probably Already Know About Me

1. Slasher. Smut-writer. Here there be adult content. Duh.

2. Female. 41. Married. One child (a girl, in first grade). Note: "Monogamously involved with a male person" does not equal "heterosexual."

3. American. White. Southern. I've lived in the Midwest for twenty years, but I'm Southern on corpuscle level.

4. Don't have cable. Mostly don't watch TV. Actually not very fannish. Just here for the porn and the friendship.

5. On dial-up. Hence, not looking at a lot of art or downloading a lot of trailers or watching a lot of vids.

6. Former journalist and technical writer. Attempting to become a pro fiction writer. Currently unemployed, or to put that another way, enjoying a spouse-sponsored arts grant.

7. Wildly introverted. Possibly this translates to "socially inept." I wouldn't know, would I?

8. Like cereta, I consider anything I say online to be a publicly published text. If I didn't want it quoted, discussed, etc., I wouldn't post it. This also means that if you wanted to, say, play Sunday Coneskey in a role-playing game, you wouldn't need to ask my permission (any more than you'd ask Rowling's permission to play Draco Malfoy), though I (unlike Rowling) would get a nice warm feeling if you sent me an e-mail and told me about it.

9. Depending on how much free time I have, how much your interests and mine are overlapping at the moment, and how much I feel like being involved with other people, I friend and unfriend freely. Go thou and do likewise. If you really can't bear to read one more post about Christmas music, you can unfriend me for the season, or forever, without hurting my feelings one bit.

10. I'm an Episcopalian. I live in a horribly conservative diocese where ordaining women is still controversial, so I'm a member of a Presbyterian church, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm Episcopalian. However, I also believe that anything humans say about the Divine is necessarily partial, provisional, and metaphorical. Which means that I don't believe my religion is any more correct than yours -- the most I can say is that it's probably incorrect in different ways.

	I always feel a little funny posting about religion on LJ, because in my normal experience, people who talk about their religions in public tend to do so because they want to change yours. And then I think, But, hey, why not be part of changing that? There needs to be some religion-related equivalent to that bumper sticker that says, "Straight but not narrow."

	Do it! I love this meme. It's nice to have a sort of capsule of information on people -- and especially interesting to see what people consider significant enough to include in a list only ten items long. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wildly introverted. Oh, that's a beautiful turn of phrase. Mind if I borrow it? 'Cause it describes me perfectly, too. anything humans say about the Divine is necessarily partial, provisional, and metaphorical Wow. Yes. Wow. And I have cable, but I still don't watch TV . . .

	Help yourself! And I, too, love the icon -- it's funny how very closely you can crop and still have an image that anyone in the fandom will recognize instantly. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It's quite a luxury. I try to be suitably grateful, even when I feel that I would sell my dumpling-shaped body to have a little cash that I didn't have to account to anyone for. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm glad for 9 because I've been wanting to friend you for your fic (guh). I've now started backreading your journal and getting interested in yourself as well, so cheers and hello! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ah... okay. Cool, you seem like an interesting person. I know you said you didn't mind, but I still wanted to make sure it was okay to friend you. (Reply to this)(Thread)
