ratbonesHello, this is your ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
ratbones speaking. I answer to Ratty (caps optional) or any variant or nickname you please. I'm a writer of Guardian fic, best known for that zombie apocalypse AU. (I want to write original fiction too, but I'm too busy loving Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei right now.) I consider myself an ex-lurker -- prior to 2019 I had no fiction-writing experience and no experience participating in fandom.
In this journal I mostly make personal posts, talk about writing, and sometimes share fannish content or talk about media. I have posted pictures of my precious little cat, and a photo of my Zhao Yunlan closet cosplay. Here's a pretty standard-for-me post from when I probably almost definitely had COVID-19 but I didn't know it because I'm an early adopter I guess.
Some minor fandoms/other things that I like: Ace Attorney, Merlin, The Magnus Archives, Welcome to Night Vale, various Sherlocks Holmes (especially Arthur Conan Doyle and Granada/Jeremy Brett and Detective L). The video games I play most often are Warframe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons; I'm very bad at both of them. I consume new-to-me media really slowly and am pretty detached from pop culture, but I read tons and tons of Guardian fic -- like, the majority of what gets posted on AO3. What can I say? I go deep rather than broad.
In my human form, I'm a 20-something lesbian from PA, USA. Click here for my cute face. I studied astrophysics in college, but currently I have a completely unrelated, very outdoorsy, often dirty job. I like to meditate and grow houseplants, and I'm a lifestyle minimalist. I drink tea and beer and whiskey (in declining order of frequency) and I like documentaries and podcasts and random bursts of obsessive research. Here are some songs I like!
I'm neurodivergent and sometimes I struggle with things that most people don't, react to things a bit strangely, or make mistakes when communicating. I often talk too much in an effort to be clear, or suddenly go quiet because I'm not sure what I'm "supposed" to say. Please be patient with me!
In this house, we support Ye Zun getting the help he needs to process his traumas and express his feelings without eating anyone.

Date: 2022-03-21 04:33 am (UTC)Anyway, yes, it's wonderful that you found some Guardian fic that suits your interests and I'm SO flattered that it happens to be mine! Silent readers are always welcome -- I was a complete lurker in fandom for years and years, so I see and appreciate you guys. But you're really not a silent reader anymore since you came here to say hi ;) Thanks for the sweet and kind words and for coming on all those adventures. When I finish up the WIP, I hope you enjoy that one too! <3 (Anon comments are on here and on AO3 so feel free to say hi again any time, logged in or not!)
