Patron Saint of Falling Over Things

I need a sticky post!

I'm Danielle, and I'm partners with lilacsigil. We've been together since 1997, and we're hoping to get legally married one of these decades. (We can legally marry as of 2016! Huzzah! Now we need to, idk, organise it.) We live together in rural Australia with two cats and a veggie garden.

This is a good place to say hi, if you're the introducing kind, but you absolutely don't have to. Just seems handy to have a place for it. I'm always up for being added without an intro if you're shy. I usually add back, and I usually give access, though I have no expectation that you will do the same. I love that about Dreamwidth.

Things to know about me: I'm queer, I'm fat and body-positive, I'm Australian, I'm left-leaning in a big way. I was born in 1971 so I'm basically old as balls. I'm cis-female, white, the daughter of an Italian immigrant.

Fannishly, I'm multifannish, I multiship. I love gen, slash, femslash and het. You can track my preferences through my Dear Author tag, here.

I was the co-mod of comicstore_news, which is mirrored at comicstore_news_feed and comicstorenews. But we retired it, since newsletters aren't a good fit with the AO3/Tumblr style of fandom of late.

I'm currently the co-mod of @podcastjoy which is a podcast comm, for fanworks, reviews and all things podcast. I post a weekly newsletter there.
