OK. Me? All I'm prepared to disclose publicly (as I have on some profile pages) is that I'm a lawyer, with a specialization in international law -- international peace and security, armed conflict, human rights, war crimes/crimes against humanity/terrorism/organized crime and all sorts of other shit that would curl your toes as much as it does mine on occasion).

So. All that RL angst needs an outlet, and apart from cuddling my kid and finding the Perfect Cabernet Sauvignon, fan geekdom it had to be. Just had to.

First there was Star Trek (wasn't it always?), especially Voyager. If you find my stories on FFN or AO3 the extent of my obsession with that will be Very Obvious. Then I saw Avengers. And -- hell, I still don't know what happened except initially I got blown away by the real life angle of the Iron Man opener (hello Afghanistan -- source of much work...) and then there was Tony's line "You lie and you kill in the service of liars and killers..." And bingo, just like that I found my new playground.

Interms of latching on to a character to write for, I must have a thing for Damaged Males, so I fixated on Hawkeye and pretty soon had written myself into a corner I can't seem to get out of. (My Voyager stories have suffered -- eep!!!)

Found this bar through all the references to the "be_compromised promptathon" and decided to revive my Mostly Dead LJ account. Haven't looked back since! I joined a day after SS closed, alas, but may leave something "under the tree" for y'all. Love the lot of you -- would hug and *friend* you all but I have no clue what that actually means in LJ terms, so I haven't. I did meet Shenshen in the flesh though -- I trust that counts?? :-)

So, that's kind of it for me, for "friendship" Friday. Except, yeah, I love Jeremy Renner's acting. Seriously. (And, okay, those arms. I have a thing about arms, from my fencing days.)
