- Name:Lori - Age: Too old on the outside, too susceptible to adolescent insecurity on the inside - Location:Houston, TX
Reading
- Your favorite genre/s: Fantasy, urban fantasy - Your favorite author/s: J.R.R Tolkien, Ellen Kushner, Pamela Dean, Terri Windling, Charles DeLint, Emma Bull, Storm Constantine - Your favorite book/s: Lord of the Rings, Swordspoint, Tam Lin, Memory and Dream - Your favorite character/s: Almost every elf, Alec from Swordspoint - Least favorite book/s: Eh, I don't hate any book enough to call it my least favorite. I'm not too fond of the 19th century realists, if that helps. - Least favorite characters: Um. No character comes to mind. - Recommended reading: Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner is good on so many levels. I can't recommend it enough.
Writing
- What do you write: (ex: fiction, poems, songs, etc.) Mostly fanfiction - Your favorite genre/s to write: Fantasy and urban fantasy (bet you didn't see that one coming.) - Do you write fanfiction? (if yes, what fandom?)Yes, in Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, also Bordertown and Wraeththu. - Do you write original fiction?Not lately - Current project: Just trying to finish a story, any story. I have three in the works. - An area you'd like to improve in: I would love to actually finish a story. I don't know how to write without editing obsessively. I need a better brain. - An accomplishment you're proud of: I finished a story once, and I still don't hate it. That's a pretty big accomplishment in my book.
Other
- Hobbies: Reading and writing--big surprise, huh?-- though I do go through drawing stages every once in a while. - What's in your journal?Not very much so far. Eventually I hope to collect all my thoughts about writing into one place, which will probably be extremely boring to anyone who tries to read it. My day to day rambles and fandom squee will stay on livejournal for now. My friends over there seem pretty resistant to the mass exodus, and I'm too lazy to keep up with crossposting. - Why did you move to DW?Like I said, I didn't really move. I'm using my DW journal as a place to write down stuff that would bore or alarm my f-list on livejournal. - Favorite energy drink?Dr. Pepper - Anything else?Nope.
