Bio

I gained it so—
By Climbing slow—
By Catching at the Twigs that grow
Between the Bliss—and me—
It hung so high
As well the Sky
Attempt by Strategy—

I said I gained it—
This—was all—
Look, how I clutch it
Lest it fall—
And I a Pauper go—
Unfitted by an instant's Grace
For the Contented—Beggar's face
I wore—an hour ago—

vexed and glorious +
+ emily + 26 years old + scorpio + voracious reader (fantasy, thriller, mystery, no chick lit please) + movie lover (action, good horror, sci-fi, cheesy 90s teen comedy) + writer, linguist, seller of dreams (the difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between the lightning and the lightning bug)

marvelous things +
what you'll find here : + fic in any of half a hundred canons or genres (right now i'm most into the new star trek, but i'm a member in dubious standing of a handful of other fandoms, and whenever i reread/rewatch something i love and/or a new shiny canon comes out i'm likely to write at least something for it.) + chatter about my fic projects and my original fiction. i'm hard at work on my first novel and love to talk with other writers about how they do what they do. also sometimes if i'm stumped on something i'm working on i'll turn to my flist for inspiration or help-- that's where you come in. ;) + drabbles! i belong to drabble communities and take part in fic challenges when the inspiration strikes; when i do, i'll repost what i write here. also i frequently prompt my flist for drabble requests, so stay tuned for audience participation fic! + book reviews. currently i'm working on a self-imposed challenge to read 75 books by the end of the year. if i have the time, i'll import my review from my goodreads page for easy viewing and (hopefully) some book chatter here. + fic recommendations. i read other people's fic as much as i can, and when i find good stuff, i'll pimp it out here. currently my star trek fic rec list is nothing short of epic; you can find it here if you're interested.

other worlds than these +
+ twitter : @acorn_hat + graphics lj : sinistrata + real life lj : killerbeautiful + dreamwidth : chosenmortal + last.fm : feelalittlelove + blip.fm : killerbeautiful

things of note +
+ if you aren't a fan of slash or discussion of gay themes in fiction (and occasionally real life), this is not the place for you. + please don't flame. i'd hate to have to call down the wrathful gods of LJ on your ass. if you don't like what i write, don't read it. simple as that. + if you want to friend me, please do! i don't bite and love to talk with other geeks about books, fic, et cetera. don't feel pressure to friend (nothing here will ever be friendslocked, so you won't be missing out) but if you do, drop me a comment so i can say hi! :)

credit where it's due +
+ username comes from the poem up top by emily dickinson + journal layout by grrliz @ thefulcrum + profile layout by gossymer @ noveltybox + icons by me are uncredited; icons by others are credited. if you use anything make sure you credit the maker! all icons stealable unless noted.
