Deep breath, you've got this. Here we go.

NAME: Honigfrosch, or HF for short

ALSO KNOWN AS: I have pretty much zero social media presence anywhere else because I'm old and cranky and today's internet confuses me. Dreamwidth is the pair of shoes I'm going to wear until they fall apart.

AGE: In my forties, a wonderful decade where your body decides it's now too tired for [insert thing that used to be no problem]

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Horror movies. Discovering and recommending music. Goth stuff (tradgoth/waver). LGBT issues & history, as I'm bi & trans myself. Vegan/vegetarian cooking & baking. Mental health. Vampires. Board/card/tabletop games. Role-playing games, although that's kind of a passive hobby--currently I'm only in one Star Wars campaign, playing a droid. He's the ship mechanic, can't talk due to a broken voicebox and secretly collects plants and flowers.

Fandom-wise, I don't write about it all that much, and tend to confine regular posting to meta or reviews. For fanfic/origfic and related musings I have a newly created extra writing filter that you can opt into. Currently I'm falling headfirst into Dragon Age, mainly thanks to Fenris and Dorian. I also love Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: So Many Colons. I like a lot of smaller fandoms (e.g. Doom Patrol, The Terror, Lost Souls) and am working on a community to serve as my public rec/bookmark index.

LOOKING FOR: A feminist trans-friendly husband with 3 cats who mixes me a Flying Kangaroo when I'm stressed. I mean Dreamwidth friends, I'm looking for those... also for those.

Overlapping interests are great but not required. I like linkspams, knowing how your day was, movie/tv/book reviews, pop culture analysis, personal essays on whatever's dear to your heart... and I'm fine with fandom content, unless it's only about that or solely a fic writing journal. (I'm still going to grant you access in that case, I just won't subscribe back.) Basically, you write it, I'll read it.

Now for the "please be okay with" part: Please be okay with my not commenting that often, or taking ages to reply to a comment. I only have a very limited amount of energy to spread around and I am trying my best, I swear. If you ever find yourself wondering whether I still read your journal when I haven't commented in a long time: yes, I do. I'm a dedicated lurker.

ANYTHING ELSE?: I've been burnt by low-quality tumblr discourse. Please don't bring "inclusionist/exclusionist" lingo or queer theory à la "drones are queering warfare" into my house, I beg of you.

ANY *OTHER* ANYTHING ELSE?: Look even more reading I'm sorry but it's my sticky entry please read it.

True confession: my favorite Rilke has been the first Elegy since forever because when I first encountered him I loved it for being so extra.
