Bio

FAQ

Where's the fic? On my website. I don't use LJ to host any of my fic.

What is your fanfiction labeling policy? Read about that here.

What is your spoiler policy? I rarely make reaction posts to new episodes, I always use a spoiler cut, and I try to err on the side of caution. I don't like being spoiled for things, unless I need to be spoiled. Don't assume you know what that means until you've been around a while.

Can I have an icon? Want. Take. Have. Seriously, help yourself. There are more here. Credit appreciated but certainly not required. Feel free to add text to blanks without my permission.

Will you pitch hit for my ficathon? Probably, provided you give me at least some warning. PM me.

Will you beta something for me? I'm pretty vicious and also bad at deadlines, so you might want to think twice about asking. I have some helpful self-editing tips here.

Friending? You are welcome, but I'm being a little extra cautious with friending people back these days. Also, you'll have to point out to me that you've done this friending, or I won't notice. On a related note, if you wish to be defriended, send me a PM. If you've been defriended and wish to be refriended, send me a PM.

Dreamwidth? Yes. spiletta42 And yes, I have some code token thingies if you need one. PM me.

Can I nominate your fic for something? I won't take your head off for it, but for the most part I'd rather skip contests these days, because my fics seem to not mesh with the tastes of the voting public. They're always too long, unless they're too short.

Gifts? If you send me an iPod I'll send it right back to you, and not just because I already bought myself one and still haven't used it even a single time five months later. Also, I've turned off that v-gift thing, because I'm a cranky spoilsport who thinks it's a waste of money.
