About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation English academic
Location Cape Town, South Africa
Introduction Lives in Cape Town, subject to the inexpressible whims of cats, academia and an Evil Landlord. Likes: non-realist fiction, procrastination, Dorothy Parker, sf b-movies, cooking huge meals for friends. Low reprehensible passions: spaceships, superheroes, swordfighting. Dislikes: hot weather, cherubs, dial-up modems, African political realism, Tom Cruise. Vices: hyperbole, pulp literature, Earl Grey tea. Virtues: efficiency, waffle, occasional intelligence. Breaks easily. May fizz suddenly without warning in presence of certain catalysts. Will growl at grammatical malfeasance. Gets high on words.
Interests academia, alternative music, animation, cats, clouds, cooking, cultural criticism, dressmaking, fairy tale, fan fiction, fantasy, genre fiction, genre movies, goon show, gothic, hot baths, joss whedon, larping, medieval music, miyazaki, piano, rainy days, rapier, role-playing, rpgs, sca, self-conscious narrative, sf
