From: [personal profile] dolorosa_12
Archive of Our Own username: [archiveofourown.org profile] Dolorosa
Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): I'm obviously [personal profile] dolorosa_12 on Dreamwidth. I have a reviews blog on Wordpress ([wordpress.com profile] dolorosa12), and am on Twitter and Instagram as [twitter.com profile] ronnidolorosa and [instagram.com profile] ronnidolorosa, and am happy to be added by people on any of those places. All I ask is that if your username is very different to the one you use on Dreamwidth that you let me know who you are! I'm also on Pillowfort, but don't post there — I'm only there to ensure that no one takes the Dolorosa username!
Preferred platform(s): Dreamwidth and Instagram.
I like to post about/read about: A mixture of fannish and non-fannish things. I post book reviews, recs posts of both fanfic and original fiction, as well as longer meta posts. Occasionally I post about politics, and about being a migrant. I also post quite a bit about my everyday life - I'm a librarian in an academic library, and I used to be a medievalist academic, and I post about both those things from time to time. I'm online for discussion, commenting and interaction, and I love talking to people about things that interest them.
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I'm both extremely multifannish, but extremely loyal to the fandoms in which I'm invested. Most of my fandoms are small, Yuletide-eligible book fandoms: Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and Sally Lockhart Mysteries books, The Pagan Chronicles series by Catherine Jinks, Galax Arena and the Space Demons trilogy by Gillian Rubinstein, pretty much everything Victor Kelleher has ever written, the Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon, the Romanitas trilogy by Sophia McDougall, the books of Kate Elliott, Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology, Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle, S. A. Chakraborty's Daevabad series, Katherine Arden's Winternight trilogy, The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton, Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver and Uprooted, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and a whole lot of mythology, folk tales and fairytales. In terms of larger fandoms, I dip in and out of the MCU (I love Thor: Ragnarok and, indeed, everything Taika Waititi's ever done, really enjoyed Black Panther, and am looking forward to Captain Marvel), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Daria, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Veronica Mars are my TV forever fandoms, and I adore Mad Max: Fury Road. I'm also a huge fan of Briseis from the Iliad, and am always on the lookout for Iliad retellings that focus on her, and on the other female characters (although please don't recommend The Song of Achilles to me).
This Yuletide I wrote: Four fics: my assignment, Winter Branches, a pre-canon The Dark Is Rising fic about Merriman and the Black Rider, After Exaltation, another pre-canon Black Rider and Merriman fic, Drink the Earth, a post-canon, canon-divergent Bran/Elia fic in the Queens of Innis Lear fandom, and What the Sky Looks Like from Your View, which is Vasya/Morozko fic in the Winternight trilogy fandom.
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I've written an extensive recs post here.
Anything else you want to say: I absolutely love talking to people about books, and I get a large number of reading recommendations from my Dreamwidth and Twitter feeds. I'd be very keen to friend anyone who's interested in talking about books! More generally, I'm online because I like talking to people, so I'm always keen to add good commenters, and I try to be a good commenter myself.
