This is an archival back-dated copy of my 2023 Intro post. Please see the sticky post for the current Intro.
Hello, I'm queer-scribbling, and you may call me Briar.
You can use they/their/theirs/themself pronouns for me, but don't be alarmed if other pronouns are experimented with in the future.
I'm currently a mod in the Pillowfort Snowflake Challenge community and 'Mod Briar' for the Gender Exploration Carnival.
While I've been a fannish person for years, I only recently created a Dreamwidth account [in December 2023] in order to help out with the 2024 round of Fandom Snowflake Challenge. My archive will include back-dated posts from Pillowfort and various Tumblr blogs (a mix of primary and secondary accounts), but it's not going to offend me if most people aren't interested in all that, which is listed in a bit more detail in my DW profile. It's likely that you, hypothetical reader, are stopping by because of the Fandom Snowflake Challenge, and you want to get an idea of what fannish things you might encounter here.
I started out with the Harry Potter books, and even though my relationship to the HP fandom has been complicated over the years, I'm not going to pretend I never did anything with that fandom at all. (It will be quite obvious to anyone who glances at my AO3 that I've written HP fic. I started out with Drarry [Draco/Harry] and WolfStar [Sirius/Remus]. I spent 2023 doing a rarepair focused event, so there are a lot of seemingly random ships there, but I've more recently been bitten by the Snack bug [Sirius/Severus]. That's usually found on my Tumblr sideblog - @snack-o-ween.)
Most of my tags are related to tv shows, though some haven't appeared on Pillowfort or Dreamwidth - Criminal Minds, Miracle Workers, Roswell New Mexico, The Exorcist, The Strain, etc. (Due to trying to back up some PF tags before Fandom Snowflake Challenge started, you'll currently find quite a bit of All Creatures Great & Small and a smattering of other shows from Masterpiece (PBS).)
I sometimes dabble in reading fic for shows I haven't finished, but I definitely don't feel confident writing for them, like Evil (I think it got picked up by a streaming service), Hannibal, Manifest, Merlin, and NCIS (stopped watching after Gibbs retired) among others. There's a slim chance I might finish some of these shows one day. In 2024, it's quite likely that you'll hear about - Fire Country (depends on what happens in season two), S.W.A.T. (coming back for a final season), and What We Do In The Shadows (also coming back for a final season).
AO3: queerlybeloved777 (main pseud that gets 'not really fanfic' fanworks), slashaholic666 gets Harry Potter fanworks, and lapsed-bookworm gets non-HP fanfic. My transformative works statement is listed in my AO3 profile.
I'm in the process of backing up my fanworks on SquidgeWorld Archive: queerlybeloved777. Pseud breakdowns are a mirror of AO3's pseuds. It's possible there might be Squidge exclusive fanworks one day, but it's currently a mirror of my AO3 works.
If you'd like to be added to one of my Access Lists, feel free to comment on this post.
PF (Mutuals Only), PF (Followers Only), and PF (Login Only): The applicable view-lock settings on Pillowfort. Open to Pillowfort mutuals, followers, or those who have a Pillowfort account, are okay with sharing your PF username, and you want to see any of those posts here. (If you don't care to see any of that outside of PF, feel free to ignore.)
DW Subscribers: Sort of the equivalent of 'followers only' here on DW. You'll probably be given Access if you subscribe, but if you specifically want to ask for that Access without having to subscribe, you can do so in a comment.
Location Aware: This currently has #political scribbling and archived posts for a weekly newsletter from an LGBTQ+ news organization in the [USA] state I live in. (I don't plan on my location specifics getting more detailed than the state level.) While this content can be found on Tumblr publicly, I want to make this opt-in, since I imagine that most people will be interacting with my Dreamwidth for fandom and fannish stuff.
