Bio: I'm 27 years old, just finished a BA in English, trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. In the meantime, I make websites. I've been creating fansites since 1997 (though God, I hope none of those are still online) and making web graphics for nearly that long. I write, read, and archive fanfiction when I have time, and I make fanlistings for fun. I think they're a great way to show off the things you love. :) I'm a pagan, a liberal, a woman, a Scorpio, a geek girl, a bookworm, and a wanderer.

Fandom History: My first fandom was Star Wars, when I was a wee little lass. My first online fandom, though, was The X-Files, which I started watching in the third season. I discovered fanfic in 1996, created my first fanfic archive in 1997, and the rest is... well, you know. My next fandom was Star Wars: The Phantom Menace; this was also my first slash fandom (Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, woo!). From there, I got into X-Men, then The Lord of the Rings, the Pirates of the Carribbean, then Harry Potter... it's a long list, heh. At the moment, I'm very into X-Men, Lost, Firefly/Serenity, and I'm getting into Battlestar Galactica and back into The X-Files.
