Honestly, I am not quite sure what to post. I made this account entirely as a result of the ensuing chaos happening on Tumblr, as a sort of home base to watch and wait for the fallout. I have never used a system like this one before, so there has certainly been a learning curve. Introductions... I guess I will start with the basics. Katherinesilver (she/her), my real name has nothing to do with the username. It is actually a strange hybrid between a nickname and my gamer tag. I spend almost all of my free time reading, writing, or playing video games. No, I don't find those things mutually exclusive, I enjoy them all for their own merits.
Currently, I live in the United States, but I grew up in Australia, and despite their differences, I have a great deal of affection for both countries. My main fandoms are Tolkien and Harry Potter, although I am more active in the Tolkien fandom. I have been haunting AO3 for almost a year now. I fairly recently worked up the nerve to start leaving comments on fics, because I also happen to be painfully shy and socially awkward, which I will happily blame if this intro sounds weird or stilted. I was involved in both of these fandoms growing up but took a hiatus for a little while, before being drawn back in because honestly, I enjoy it far too much to stay away.
I opened a Tumblr solely because of some of the authors from AO3 which means I was really new to the platform before the chaos broke out. Even so, I am already lamenting the idea of starting over from scratch, so I can only imagine how much worse it is for those of you who were active for an extended period over there. Anyway, that is all I can think of, so hello and see you around :)
