INTRODUCTIONS

[foxfinial]

As I'd rather this comm doesn't become full of intro posts, please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments here.

What kind of fantasy do you like to write? Do you write long or short things? What are you working on at the moment? etc

Off-topic comments are totally fine. =)

I'm your mod, foxfinial (aka Alex), a reader and writer of weird fantasy. My favourite authors are China Miéville, KJ Bishop, Catherynne M Valente, Milorad Pavic, Jeff VanderMeer, Steph Swainston, M John Harrison, Christopher Barzak and probably some others. I'm currently writing a novel about a war between humans and water-people in a secondary world heavily influenced by Thailand. It's being told in the form of a fake history book comprising various texts, such as translations (with footnotes, om nom), letters, chronicles, journal entries, messages on clothing. I've had some short fiction and poetry published, and am submitting a completed novel to agents.

I hope you like this comm!

Hi, I'm Ms. Danson. I haven't settled on a particular area of fantasy but many of my stories fall into urban, humour (absurd or parody), or superhero(ish) categories. I mostly write short fiction but I want to write a novel (The Dragon Skin Book - Modern Urban Fantasy) to see if I can do it. I've also spent the past few years writing a quasi-superhero serial (Jack Shadow) for the entertainment of my LJ readers.

I'm trying to improve my writing (I love feedback) so that some day I can get some of my fiction published. My DW account is my writing journal and my LJ account is my personal journal.
