A Girl and Her Omnipotent Cat

| Bio: | Welcome to Becka's el-jay! Please keep hands and arms inside the vehicle for the duration of the tour.
Origins: This journal started long, long ago (in 2003) as a way for me to keep in touch with real life friends I didn't see very often, as well as those I did. In 2004, I got into Harry Potter fandom after rereading Prisoner of Azkaban, thinking "Lupin and Sirius are SO doing it!" and wandering off to ask the internet what it knew of such matters. Since then, this journal has been a combination of real life (all friendslocked) and fannish ridiculousness (mostly public).
About Me: I'm currently doing a one-year master's program, studying Medieval English Literature and writing a thesis on Chaucer. I am consequently insane. "What Do You Do with a BA in English?" is pretty much my theme song. When I'm not doing the whole school-in-Chicago thing, I'm from Arlington, Virginia, and I love the DC area kind of a lot. I have very long hair and freckles. I really do like all the things on my interests list. Along with my cowboy boots. And my parents' cats. And Barack Obama. And dried mango. And really terrible jokes. ("What's brown and sticky? A stick!" is my very favorite.)
About zac: zac is a Beanie Baby cat. He often lives on my shoulder, and has for a number of years now. The reasons why are now lost in the dust cloud of history. He is not named after Zac Efron. (He is represented by a lowercase 'z' because he is small.)
Fannish Things You'll Find Here: Fic about Harry Potter, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, and CW RPS, as well as drabbles for all sorts of other things I think are awesome. (The links go to my various fic tags, which I use religiously nowadays; a lot of older fic can be found in my Memories. Someday I will make a sticky post about all this.) Squee about Supernatural and its actors, as well as anything else I'm currently (re)watching. Harry Potter fanart (which will remind you why I'm primarily a writer). Totally random recs posts. Occasional meta, although I plan more than I write. Occasional talk about the goings-on in fandom, although I tend to be oblivious to wank until it's long past, so that's largely, "Wait, what happened?"
Sometimes there's smut here, and if you're under eighteen, please please please don't read it. I use ratings and warnings on my fic and art, and I ask that any reader of this journal take both of those things into consideration.
I don't like wank, and I don't want it in my journal. If we disagree, let's do it civilly. (Also, I generally believe that the proper resolution to ship wars is threesomes. Er, yes.)
Friending: I don't friend journals that I don't read, journals that are empty or only recently begun, or journals that are largely about things I'm not interested in. The jury's out at the moment on whether I friend people under age eighteen (very sorry, it's the porn, you see). But I love meeting new people, and I promise I don't bite (although I sometimes take weeks to reply to comments). If you leave a comment, I'll be much, much more likely to notice you've friended me.
If I've Friended You: I'm trying to get better about friending people I think are awesome. I leave a comment when I friend someone, regardless if you say you require it. I always like to know what made people friend me, and I like to extend the same courtesy to others. Please don't take it as pressure to friend back. I just think you're nifty.
General Disclaimer: Let it be understood that I am not and have never been JK Rowling, Eric Kripke, Warner Brothers, or anybody else with ownership rights to the characters and worlds that appear in my fanfiction. I use them without permission, and make no money from my fannish endeavors. I do not condone or endorse any act that causes harm to a child, or advocates causing harm to a child. The people I write about are fictional, and are therefore not children. In cases where the people I write about share names and characteristics with real people, the stories themselves are still fictional, and I do not claim that they bear any relationship to reality.
