Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: Reading, writing, fanfiction, video games, music, jigsaw puzzles.
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Yes. I usually work through fanfic ideas or editing to some degree most days, if I'm not preparing a new chapter to go up. I read every day. I've been sort of getting back into video games. I've also been getting back into puzzling lately and typically do them with friends and family.
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: No. I'd love to be paid for my fiction writing, but that's a long ways off. I'm currently paid to write, just not fiction.
If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: I don't have one in particular but I'm pretty proud of how much fanfic I've published over the last few years, particularly since last November. I've been going pretty strong and it doesn't seem ready to stop. I'm also happy I'm back into reading more books and fanfics lately.
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I've been trying to get back into playing piano. I'd also like to learn cross-stitch.
If you're into collecting something, what is it?: Enamel pins, art prints, plush, cute and pretty statues.
Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Reading and fanfic writing.
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I've always wanted to be in a book club but can never commit without worrying I won't finish the book (I change interest randomly), so I like folks who are reading things so I can hear their opinions on the books, even if I won't read the actual books, because I like a good review. And it's nice to get new book suggestions for the to be read mountain. And a lot of my friends in fandom are fanfic writers, so more fic writers is awesome. Some of my fandoms are on my profile if folks are interested.
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: A lot of them are time-commitment heavy and I currently want to do all of them, so it's hard to pick one without feeling like I'm under-doing the others. If I want to sit with a video game for a couple evenings, those are days I'm not writing and editing something. Same with finishing a novel. And if I'm writing, I'm not reading a novel or progressing through any of the 10,000 games I have. It's nice to want to do things, though, and to have lots of things I want to do, so it's not THAT annoying.
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both.
And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Mostly alone. I've read books with people at the same time in the sense that we're reading the same book, but not reading it "together", and that was fun. And I've bounced ideas with friends for fanfics that turned into stories that I wrote, but I don't really consider them co-written, and I am very averse to co-writing something.

General Journaling
How often do you post?: Maybe three times a week lately.
Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I post more about books and shows and games than other things lately. Sometimes I post about IRL stuff.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Whatever is going on in their lives or that they feel like talking about. I don't mind that people talk about sports or celebrities but I'm not going to have any commentary on it if that's what folks are looking for.
Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: Yes and no I don't mind reading about it. I'm in a lot of different fandoms and it's going to come up, but I try to not be negative about it. I've been part of more fandom events lately and having a lot of fun with it. I also run three fanwikis.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: I try to be very progressive, politically, I talk about queer stuff, I also try to be kink-positive, and I sometimes get frustrated with religion. No antis.
