Hello, fellow travellers! Seeing as there are so many nice new faces (*waves*) I thought I might throw in my hat. I’ve been on LJ since 2004 but left around 2012 for DW.
Name:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
liriaen (she/her, they/them)
Age: well old (52)
Interests and Hobbies: Obscure festivals for extreme music, discovering Europe on foot & by public transport, sitting in the sun and watching the world go by… Reading about the European Renaissance [I have a well-documented Borgia obsession, but I can't say I'm a fan of the various TV series; history is whoa enough I think :)] ... Fandom & writing - used to be Harry Potter and Blade of the Immortal, but for the past 15 years it’s mostly Renaissance RPF… Bible slash... Extreme metal music RPF... Art history RPF (Albrecht Dürer is very slashable!) …
I love books by William Gibson, Thomas Pynchon, Hilary Mantel, Salman Rushdie, Umberto Eco... and I think Michel Foucault is always right. Always. As are the First Dog on the Moon cartoons.
I love to listen to 15th/16th/17th century music (think Monteverdi, Desprez, Tallis)... music from Mali... music from the lowest pits of hell... drone, doom, black metal, a little death metal (nothing too technical; just gimme the dumb kind)... Nick Cave in his various permutations... post punk, hardcore, punk, neofolk, seriously nasty industrial, new wave, dark wave, oh and Benjamin Biolay can read the Paris phone book for me.
I post RL stuff interspersed with fic and idle musings, mostly in English, with occasional outbursts in German. I'll happily converse with you in English, German, but will also read French and Flemish. There will be copious swearing, uncouth subjects, crass humour and horrible music. So, what’s not to like?
My fics: are all here in my journal. Better and more recent ones are also at AO3 (I'm veeery slowly adding older writing there), a whole lot of antediluvian stuff in German is over at fanfiktion.de. There's also fanfiction.net which has fics even I had forgotten (with good reason, too).
Looking for: meeting open-minded people with a (dark) sense of humour and adventurous souls! If we share some interests, that would be spiffy, but no requirement. But but! Where are the history nuts? Come! PLEASE NO Trump-fans, antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, rightwingers, neoliberals, homophobes, terfs.
Anything else? I’m not supergood at selling myself here; back in the olden days (they mumble toothlessly) we used to meet on thriving fandom or special interests comms and take it from there; now the experience is so wholly different. Therefore, if in the course of things we find that we don’t really mix, or find little common ground: no hard feelings. :)
