I am pretty much only using my DW during National Poetry Month, these days, and am better found at tumblr, twitter, and AO3.

Welcome! This is my primary journal, although I cross-post to olivia_circe (with an underscore) at LJ. Please feel free to subscribe or unsubscribe at will. The majority of my content is locked, and I am fairly circumspect about access- ( Read more... )

Not to overplay my heavy-hitting queer ladies in the first week, but I drank a lot of wine in the Greek Islands today, and it's hard to do that and not start having feelings about Sappho.

So I have like seven million things to post about, but in the meantime, I, um, got into a new fandom and wrote a fic? SO THAT'S A THING THAT HAPPENED.
