Fandom Snowflake Challenge #1

[lucymorningstar]

I've seen a few people taking part in snowflake_challenge and thought it seemed like fun and hopefully a good way to get back into blogging. I never know what to blog about so these prompts should help with that.

The first challenge is

In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

If you already have a sticky post or full bio, make sure they’re up to date so that people visiting your journal can learn something about you. Update your interests; make sure your fic posts are current; check that all your links work, etc. If you don’t already have a post introducing yourself, create one!

I always find introducing myself really hard, trying to find the line between not enough and too munch information. But, here goes nothing.

Hi, I'm Lucy. I'm a 41-year old bisexual, polyamorous, submissive, English woman living in South Wales my partners of 9 years, J & S.

I've suffered with mental illness since I was a teenager and have both ADHD and Schizoaffective disorder - think all the fun of schizophrenia with all the fun of being bipolar. I'm pretty extraverted (yet socially awkward) and sarcastic, and have been told I have a warped sense of humour. I don't have a clear sense of where 'the line' is. I'm a pessimist yet a big kid at heart.

I'm a homemaker, I love to bake and cook (and eat) and organise. I find cleaning to be very therapeutic. I hate gardening and DIY.

I'm a fan of 80s rock music, science-fiction, urban fantasy and superheros (both Marvel and DC). I love to play boardgames, knit and have recently taken up yoga. I love angels, anthropology, bullet journals, cryptozoology, dinosaurs, doctor who, elephants, ghosts, good omens, lucifer, mythology, paranormal, space, star wars, and time travel. I'm currently a little bit obsessed with learning about serial killers. I can lose myself in a game of Tetris, Solitaire or Candy Crush for hours.

Hi! Yay, I'm so glad you found Snowflake and are using it to help you post more!

I'm a 'child' of 80s rock myself. *g*

As for urban fantasy, have you read the Cal Leandros series?

I just learned how to knit last year (I'm still very much a beginner) because of so many people mentioning it during Snowflake.

Good Omens was ~wonderful! (I couldn't get into the book, but the show blew me away.)

I also lose too much time to games on my phone. o_O

It also means I get to talk about my second favourite thing to talk about - the tv shows and movies that I love so its kind of a win/win situation. I'm remembering how much I used to love blogging. Although now I'm finding I need to get new icons and a new layout!

Snowflake is an awesome challenge❄️

I have the same trouble with intros. A few days after posting mine I realised there were a few things I’d missed off but I was too lazy to go back and edit them in

I’d love to live in Wales🖤 And yay! Someone else who is poly!

*hugs you* Yay for baking!

Sci-fi and Marvel is awesome and I really need to get back to watching Lucifer!

I ended up in Wales and a poly relationship completely by accident, as you do, but it's been the best thing that's every happened to me! *hugs back*

80s rock is the best. I always enjoy playing that on my radio shows as I'm a child of the 80s :)

Urban Fantasy rocks! Have you read the disillusionists trilogy by Carolyn Crane/Annika Martin? It's fantastic!
