Profile

Note: this is copied directly from my LiveJournal.

I am Maekala.

Personal information: I'm a 22 year old lesbian pagan who likes...well, look at my interests and that should give you a better idea. I was born and raised in College Station, TX but I'm currently living most of the time in Conroe, TX and going to school at Sam Houston State University studying Criminal Justice, Poltical Science and assorted foreign languages. I will graduate in May of 2009. I can usually be found somewhere in Texas, generally between Huntsville and Galveston.

If you're already one of my friends or you're just feeling randomly generous, my Amazon.com wishlist can be found here. I try to keep it updated, so feel free to check it out. Plus, you can see if there's anything I want that you know I would despise and tell me.

I have wacky taste in music. In my collection, one may find eighteen nineteen twenty languages and I forget how many nationalities. There really isn't any genre I won't listen to. I have showtunes, rock, rap, country, pop, classical, techno and folk tunes...plus some other genres that I know I'm forgetting.

Yes, I did just reveal some pretty personal stuff about myself. But, anyone who thinks that they can now take this information and stalk me or whatever...just don't. I'm going into the Criminal Justice field...I have friends who are already there...I will nip anything like that in the bud. Fast. Yes, I do know how to do that. Even on the internet.

Most of my posts are personal updates, so if you friend me, be aware of that. But all of my stories, vids and icons do get posted. Also, anytime I critique an episode or a movie or a book, it will be posted. If you're curious, check my tags. They're not perfect cause I keep changing shit, but meta is listed under fandom related tags. Still, every entry I make is tagged and tags are fairly clearly fandom or personal related.

I'm hopelessly addicted to CNN. Seriously. I can tell time by what's on CNN and not just hour to hour. People have tested me and I'm accurate within about ten minutes. Scary, neh? Curious what's got me so interested? Check out their Political Ticker.



And the most important: since I've started doing more with fandom related stuff, I've decided to try and list my fandoms and pairings. I don't write all of these, I don't read all of these, but I do have at least one fic/story idea/vid/something for each of these. I also do use top/bottom conventions, so if I list someone first, that means that is how I prefer to read them...if I list them twice, then I'll read switchfic. If you don't know what that means, then don't worry. Or you could ask me. I'll try and explain.

A good portion of these are slash or femslash. Okay...most of them. What can I say? Breeders are boring. Yes, there are threesomes. No, it's not a typo. Three can make things better!

A couple of these are separated by an ampersand (&). Those are not shippy pairings. Eww. Not pairings at all. Those, I just like to see the relationship between the characters develop into a deep friendship or whatever familial relationship already exists. At the same time, there are pairings that are various 'cest pairings (not stating the full word to avoid witch hunts). My personal views on the subject are complicated and you are more than welcome to ask me about them, however, I will say that fandom related, I will only read stories written about consenting adults. I have seen what happens when children are involved and I absolutely do not advocate that under any circumstances. Ever.

I didn't realize I had this many fandoms...damn. Some of them are older and I don't read them as much, but I still go back for nostalgia reading. I know that some seem a little juvenile... but believe me when I say that I make them very *not* juvenile. Also, I do update this list on a regular basis as I discover more fandoms and more pairings.



I have joined NaNoWriMo. This means I will be attempting to write a novel (50,000) words in the month of November. I'm crazy, I know. But, if you're curious how I'm doing, here is a word count widget. Hopefully, I will keep NaNoWriMo updated enough that this widget will be updated. Here's to hoping. Yeah...that didn't work out so much. Every time I tried to work on the NaNo stuff, another story idea would spring to mind. I'm still working on the story, so it might be up at some point...I hope.

Okay, let's try this again. After skipping a year, I'm going to try my hand again. Everyone wish me luck!



I won! I wrote over 50K in a month, even skipping a little over a week because I was sick. As of 10 December 2008, that story is actually over 60K words, but incomplete. I would like to finish it early in 2009. Watch for updates to that.
