Wake the Sun

Welcome to my own tiny corner of fannish space! This is a header post - below you'll find everything that should be in my profile but isn't.

PLEASE NOTE: This blog is on an informal, indefinite hiatus! I'm slightly more active on Tumblr, check me out there.

I am: Effex. Also effex on Pinboard / special_effex on Twitter / Effex at the AO3 / special-effex on Tumblr. FKA _fx on Livejournal.



1) I'm female, I'm 30, I'm queer, I'm white, I'm USian.

2) I've been in fandom since I was 14, holy shit, when did that happen.

3) Politically, I'm a progressive, pro-choice, and a registered Independent. Also a bunch of things that boil down to 'trying not to be a privileged asshole'.

Comments get their own subsection:

~ Any/everyone is welcome to comment - I like hearing from new people!

~ Any/everyone is welcome to comment in a respectful manner. I want this to be a safe space for people of all genders*, sexes*, cultures, sexual orientations*, religions*, races, nationalities, etc. Do not do this, or this, read through this and this. People found to be pantsless will be asked to put their pants back on, those insistent on showing their ass will be banned.

* Or absence thereof.

~ Anonymous comments need to be signed, even if it's just 'Anonymous 1,' so I have some way of differentiating between them. Unsigned anonymous comments will be screened.
