This Is An Intro Post

 

So I haven't done this in a while! Woooo~

Well, my name's Tina, though online in fannish spaces I generally respond to Goose. I like to think I've been part of fandom for a while but in practical respects I'm still very much a tiny child, fandom-wise. I mostly read fanfic (/listen to podfic / other fanworks), as well as write fic. More recently I've started wrangling on AO3, poking at Fanlore pages and actually responding to challenge memes and such.  I was on LJ with everyone else, until the herd migrated over to Tumblr where I currently reside.
I actually still have my LJ account up. As a museum exhibit more than a useful tool, though. I like recording where I've been / what my thoughts were at times in my life, and then keeping the records. That's part of the reason I made this journal. I don't know how much my thoughts lend themselves to long-form anymore, or how much of this will actually be public, but here it is anyway. \o/ 

I also exist on places not on the internet, such as Manitoba. (Hence the name pun- Canadian goose, you see.) I have two cats, used to have three but one passed earlier in September. I try to be a friend to all creatures except bugs, to which I harbour a terrible grudge.  I'm going to college to learn to be a library tech, which is like a librarian except less eldritch-horror if I were in Night Vale and less needing-a-Masters-degree in real life. This is my first year of college-college, after two and a bit years of university that went interestingly / fiasco-shaped.  Outside of formalized school, I like to learn about most everything I can.
I have a twitter / instagram / tumblr and if you ask I can probably link you to them. For now though I think I'll keep this one floating apart from them.

What else. I'm doing NaNoWriMo right now, or more to the point I'm not  doing NaNoWriMo right now because I'm writing this blog. My novel is actually novel-length fic that I've been working on for motherfucking ever*---  it's an origin story for The Girl aka Motorbaby aka Grace, from MCR's "Danger Days" mythos but specifically the videos.
I'm on the home stretch now and preeetty far off from how canon actually exists, but, I am writing it anyway because it's important to me.  
MCR and bandom at large, by the way, being one of the fandoms' I've been in for the longest time, and arguably the most actively. Despite all the wank and long-sufferingness, it's been a pretty good place for me to be.

Hopefully DW will also be a good place for me to be!

*One of my influences on starting the fic was "I hope I can finish this before their next album". Yeah. Yeah.
