(NICK)NAME: Lace

AGE: 26

ABOUT ME:

I didn't come here from Livejournal, but I've been here for a while without really meeting any new people, so I thought I'd get on the former-LJ-ers bandwagon here. I live in Maryland with my partner, our roommate and two cats. I'm bi, gray-ace, and polyamorous, and I'm autistic.

INTERESTS & HOBBIES:

Scifi and fantasy books! Especially but not exclusively YA (young adult). I have a longish list of favorite authors in my interests, but that's definitely not a full list, so feel free to ask me about your favorite books to find out if we have stuff in common. I'm particularly interested in books with disabled / mentally ill characters, whether explicit in canon or not.

Lately I've been reading:
-- YA books from Disability In Kidlit's list of books with autistic characters
-- David Drake's RCN and Hammer's Slammers books
-- and I just started re-reading the main Dragonlance books.

I don't know if I'd call cooking a hobby, but I do sometimes post about new recipes I'm trying.

I also knit and do digital art, but I don't really post about those things on DW. You can check out my art tumblr if you want, though.

LOOKING FOR:

People to talk to about books. Other mentally ill / disabled / autistic people. If there are any other David Drake fans out there, please let me know.
