IceBreaker Challenge! Tell us about yourself.

I entered fandom when I was quite young during the heyday of HP. Reading fanfic rather instantly became my favorite thing to do in the world, and I spent most every night since reading and wishing I could write! I remember being astonished how some of the authors I was reading were better than the published books I was reading. I had stars in my eyes.

I started writing fanfiction myself once I was in high school, after meeting what would one day be my wife. She was very supportive of me, and I've been writing and trying to participate in the fandoms I love ever since!

In addition to fandom, these days I'm a huge D&D nerd. I dm a fully custom world game with a few of my friends, and I'm very passionate about it. I laugh when I realize I technically have hundreds of OCs now because of it, and I'm deeply in love with the way D&D has allowed me to explore worldbuilding and character writing outside of fandom.

Other than that, some fun and dumb stuff:
- I love fungi! I think mushrooms are beautiful and fascinating.
- I write mostly rpg video game fandoms, but my favorite type of games are medieval city builder simulators. Banished, Kingdoms Reborn, Farthest Frontier, etc.
- I have a three legged, fluffball of a cat that I love desperately.
- Very embarrassingly, I ran and helped run several Degrassi fandom communities when I was younger.
