What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I'm a 32 year old trans woman, and I spend my days dreaming up distant lands filled with magic and dragons and copious amounts of gore, and when I have the chance I try and write some of it down.

I play computer games, enjoy comics (although I don't often read single issues any more) and am competent enough with computers and the internet that I have become the IT support for family.
