About Me
I have always loved reading and writing; when I was little, I would write stories to send to my aunt, Anna Buck, who, as a published author, was my idol.
I studied creative writing at Flinders University and uncovered a love for editing; taking a raw piece of creative work and working with the writer to produce a polished piece is incredibly rewarding. I also both wrote for and edited the university's student magazine, Empire Times.
In my free time, I enjoy cross stitching, reading, gardening, and gaming. I have a particular love for indie games, and I have taught myself how to code in C# so that I can mod some of my favourite games. I am also an administrator of the Fandom wiki for the Weather Factory game Book of Hours, where I've learnt CSS and Lua in my quest to have a beautiful, accessible, and accurate encyclopaedia for one of my favourite games (if you enjoy games with occult overtones, stunning visuals, great music, and/or rich lore, I would highly recommend it).
I am particularly interested in diversifying media. As a polyamorous transgender man, I believe it is vital to elevate queer stories told by queer people; as a disabled autistic person, I know the power that positive disability representation can have. Diversity in arts drives tolerance, acceptance, and change.
About my cats
Everything I do is ultimately for my cats; they are my children and I watch lovingly as they run into walls and fall off of window sills. As I write this, Asparagus (left) naps happily in my lap. Gilbert (centre), named for one of the most popular cat names in Medieval England, is the stupidest cat I've ever met. And Momo (right), named after the Japanese word for peach, is scared of new people, until she's not, and then she's your best friend.
About my logo
The logo I use is a glyph known as the floral heart, hedera, ivy leaf, or aldus leaf; it is one example of a fleuron.
The word fleuron is derived from the Old French floron, meaning flower. A fleuron is a piece of decorative typography that was commonly used before digital printing. They were used both as punctuation and ornaments, with printers using repeating and overlapping patterns to make borders.
