The fannish platform(s) I am most active on is/are:
Dreamwidth
LiveJournal
AO3

My main contribution(s) to fandom is/are:
At the moment, writing, reading, and commenting. I make recommendations on occasion. I have done cheerleading, prereading, and editing although most of that has been for original work; but if you count it for fanfic of my own settings, then it's a major contribution since there are folks writing fanfic of mine at novel length. I write meta periodically. Several of those discussions have led to creating new settings. So I guess I should add worldbuilding as a major contribution: I build sandboxes that other people can play in.

Link(s) to my Masterlist(s):
I don't have the same kind of masterlist other folks do. However, you can find my serial poetry sorted by series here. Much of my fanfic is copied on AO3. For Schrodinger's Heroes, start here.

I post/want to post mostly about:
I post my poems, mostly but not entirely speculative, some fannish; there are currently 6,101 under my Poem tag. The Poetry Fishbowl is the first Tuesday of each month; come give me prompts, enjoy the crosstalk, and watch for new poems to post.
I post a lot of links on many different topics, sometimes with commentary, sometimes link clouds of a dozen or more. Some of my readers use me as a newsfeed because of this.
There are several recurring posts on days of the week:
Monday Update
Wednesday: Good News, Hard Things, or Cuddle Party
Thursday: Self-Awareness Question
Saturday: Community Building Tip

One thing I am good at: Pretty much everything made of words.
One thing I am not good at: Pretty much everything made of numbers.

Other things I want to share about myself:
These are some things I'm working on this year.
