Cat-loving bisexual comic industry professional seeks friends...

Hello, all. :)

I find myself on DW after seeing LJ shoot itself in the foot, but unfortunately I now have a surprisingly thin Friends list and the desire to read interesting entries. So here I am, tapdancing with sparklers in the hope that someone will find me OMG TEH FASSINATING!

Who am I? Let's see... a cat lover, as mentioned. Bisexual (although I don't post that much about gay matters; for me that's a very personal matter, although I do take part in my city's annual gay pride march). Happily married for fifteen years to a fellow bisexual. Freelance commercial artist who works in comics (company names removed to protect the innocent, but you'll see the occasional post about work pressures, deadlines, and other joys of the freelance artist life). Wiccan for sixteen years (and facilitating a monthly worship group, so there'll be posts about that from time to time as well and also reflections on the state of affairs in the wider Wiccan community).

I'm a member of the convention committee for my city's annual sci-fi con (yes, I'm a little bit nuts). Reader and writer of fan fiction (The Matrix, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, and ReBoot for the most part, with some Real Ghostbusters and guilty-pleasure Knight Rider thrown in). My fanfics tend to be PG-13 to NC-17, and they're always slashy. If you'd like to be put on the Fan Fiction filter so you can read them please let me know.

Healthwise: diabetic, treatment-resistant depression, and adventures at the very low end of the Borderline Personality Disorder spectrum. Most of that is under control now, but if I do feel compelled to post about the black dogs I'll kennel them behind a cut.

I'm working on two NaNo novels, one of which has been provisionally accepted for publication, so expect extra highjinks and shenanigans come November 1st.

I tend to blog about strange aspects of my day, interesting links, and any subject that I find weird or amusing. My posts are occasionally happy and sweet, but tend more toward the snarky and vitriolic. Be ye warned. ;) Oh, and most of my journal entries are friendslocked, so if you're scanning my DW and don't see anything of particular weight or interest, that's probably why.

What I'm looking for in a DW friend: intelligence, thoughtfulness, curiousity, an open mind. I don't mind posts about Internet and cultural ephemera and generally find other points of view quite fascinating as long as nobody ends up getting burned at the stake. I don't comment on every entry on my Friends page, but I do read all posts and will offer feedback if I feel it would be useful.

I look forward to meeting those of you who feel we would benefit from getting to know each other better. Regardless, I hope you're all having a great day and find something here on [community profile] addme to interest you.

You sound like we'd get along. Would you mind if I added you?
