General Name/Nickname: jay Age or Age Group: 25+ Country: UK Pronouns: she/they
Hobbies and Interests What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: reading, tarot, crochet, sewing, medieval history & fandom! i mostly write and read fic, although my favourite thing is beta and talk-things-through duty. I also dabble in gardening when I get the chance! at the moment I am mostly creating for The Arcane, The Witcher & Lord of the Rings. I am reading T Kingfisher's Nettle & Bone Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Pretty much! I read on my commute to work, and have my fic WIPs available on Drive pretty much all the time. Plus most of my socialising is fandom related via discord Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: No, and also no. My hobbies are my break from the pressures of having to earn money and be good at things If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: The 25,000 word fic I wrote for Rusty Quill Big Bang in 2022 - the longest thing I have ever written, and something I put a lot of time and effort into researching, writing and revising. I got to include some of my favourite literary and folklore elements while fitting them with the Magnus Archives canon. And I got to work with some absolutely lovely artists for the exchange, who produced gorgeous artwork based on my words! Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I would love to get into bookbinding! And jewellery making. And to finally learn to knit. And - well. If it exists I probably want to try it, haha If you're into collecting something, what is it?: I collect pin & fabric patches! Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: Absolutely fandom Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I would love friends of all kinds! Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: There's a lot I find personally frustrating about the spaces I am in, but one of the biggest is yarn snobbery in fibrecraft circles. Everyone has preferences, but there are hundreds of reasons someone might chose one fibre over another, and really it's no business of yours Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both! Mostly it depends on what I'm in the mood for, although crochet is almost always for relaxation, unless I'm making something for someone (e.g. as a gift) And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Mostly alone-but-together, via the internet or video chat or by just hanging out with another person while they read.
General Journaling How often do you post?: At the moment I am trying to post every day - I post more frequently on twitter & tumblr @ kneentoess Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I post about my interest and hobbies, and occasionally about life stuff (but mostly my cat) What do you like to read about on your friends page?: Anything and everything! Reading about the things other people are passionate about, even if I don't understand them, is a job. Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: Yes, and yes! The best way to discover new fandoms is to learn about the things your friends are into! Do you have any deal-breakers?: Can't think of any!
