About

Ask me things!

Twenty-something English graduate student in Alaska (ask me about it! I've lived here most of my life, including five years in Barrow, the northernmost community in the US) who seems to be in a holding pattern waiting for life to start--rather, less "waiting" and more "omg so busy I must be out of my miiiiind," repeat ad nauseum. Writer, reader, wannabe novelist, hopeful cynic, traveler (up to 15 countries! *fist pump*), Ravenclaw, Browncoat, Whovian (Ten will always be my Doctor), member of way too many other fandoms, proud geek and gamer girl, etc. (favorites so far include the Mass Effect, Portal, and Fallout series, and Red Dead Redemption). Politically conservative-to-moderate feminist (yes, it's possible). Living with clinical depression since at least 2004. Somewhere around the demisexual end of the asexual spectrum. Possibly a vampire.

You can find me in multiple elsewheres, in varying degrees of regularity: in my writing journal, mostly for fanfic and fanmixes; last.fm; and Twitter (same username for Echo Bazaar, where I misunderstood the character creation for some reason and picked the wrong gender), among others. I'm thestarvelingcat on PSN, which is mostly only relevant if you want to find me in Red Dead Redemption multiplayer, and 100indecisions on Steam, as well as at Playfire.

I also run F Yeah Fireflies and F yeah Raspberries, which are...pretty much what they say on the tin, as well as another one for one of my novels-in-progress, and I co-run the Red Dead Redemption blog the gunslinger's lament.

MARI EH

Yes yes, my formative influences are showing. What can I say, I’ve liked the name for ages and it’s easiest to have sort of a bank of RPG names to draw from…which I don’t really, but I’m working on that, and Mari is apparently becoming my go-to name for non-fantasy RPGs. Like, Maris was my main Baldur’s Gate character (then Sheyra when I played the first game…which was basically a more pronounceable version of Xeyra, the name I gave my D&D character) and I’ve used that elsewhere, but somehow it didn’t feel right for SF, so when I made my Fallout 1 character, I named her Mari. And then I gave my Fallout 3 character the same name. And my Commander Shepard, for that matter, although you wouldn’t know it since it’s under one of Calli’s standard character names, actually. But, y’know, that’s her real name (which…I sort of only just decided. But it fits). Also what she’ll be for ME2 and ME3. And then the smuggler was the first SWTOR character I made, so I had to pick a name, and again Maris really didn’t feel right, and neither did the randomized names I was getting…and then I remembered oh hey, Mari, and it…felt right, idk.

tl;dr I am predictable.
