General: Hey, I'm Quibble. Currently trying to return to namespace after some time in a carefully curated bubble of the anon-only velociraptor zone (which is why the journal is a bit sparse atm). I can be found under the same username in various other places - I'm adding to the links in my sidebar as I set up. I'm a self-employed stationer/leatherworker, a multicrafter, disabled, in my forties, and a few sandwiches short of a picnic (it runs in the family).
What to expect: What I'm reading/writing/listening to/making. The story I'm currently losing sleep and or hair over, possibly with snippets (don't feel obligated to read). Squeeing/venting about something. Life stuff if something actually happens - like, "You won't believe what happened in the Post Office", not the daily minutiae. I tend not to talk about my disability/meds/etc. unless it's necessary for context (my coping strategy is distraction). Basically, I have a misfiring nerve in my abdomen which likes to tell me I'm being stabbed/on fire/a rat is chewing its way into my pelvis. Because it's a major nerve they can't operate without potentially crippling me, so I've had to just deal with it since 2006 (and the meds do a sterling number on the congenital brain weasels).
Friending Stuff: Feel free. If I like the look of your journal I'll subscribe back. If you decide it's not to be then unsubscribe, no harm, no foul. As far as commenting goes, I tend to dip in and out, and actively avoid topics that are difficult for me. Also, and I mention this because I've had trouble in the past: I don't feel that subscribing/friending brings an obligation to read someone's writing, in either direction. Don't get me wrong, I'll read your story if it catches my interest, but I don't need dramas because I skipped past a genre I have zero interest in (on the flipside, if I read it then you can be assured that it wasn't out of some sense of obligation).
Currently Fannish About: I mostly write origfic, but I'm currently writing some Good Omens & MCU (Loki-centric). I'm happy to chat about more fandoms than I can probably list (inc. but not limited to: Diana Wynne Jones, Discworld, Leverage, various Treks, Umbrella Academy, Netflix!Dirk Gently... I'll have to come back and add.)
Origfic: I write urban fantasy, sci-fi, and mash-ups thereof. I'm planning to add links to various fic journals and 'verses either in my sidebar or a masterpost, but, as mentioned before, only check something out if it catches your interest.
