Reading

Current Mood: satisfied

hey

Name: Sarah, but you can also call me Paperlady (or any nickname you like).

Age: 19 (turning 20 in November).

Location / Timezone: UTC+3.

I mostly post about:

Life updates, reflections, and general diary-type entries. I’m hoping to use Dreamwidth as a way to slow down, read more, and improve my writing through conversations and entries. Expect book notes, film thoughts, and sometimes just little pieces of my day. My posting schedule will probably be all over the place — sometimes a lot at once, sometimes nothing for a bit, and occasionally a steady routine when I get into a groove.

My hobbies are:

Baking, playing guitar, journaling, photography, sometimes art and editing. I love discovering new music and I get a little too invested in my playlists. I’m also trying to get deeper into reading and writing.

My fandoms / media loves are:

Coming-of-age stories, slow romances, and movies that ache in quiet ways (Before Sunrise, Only You, Romeo + Juliet 1996, etc.). Been getting into poetry (Rilke, Mary Oliver, Patti Smith) and a mix of alternative/indie music — Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, The Strokes, Smashing pumpkins, The Killers, etc.

I’m looking to meet people who:

Like exchanging thoughts and snippets of daily life, who enjoy books, films, and music, and who are here for conversation.

My posting schedule tends to be:

Erratic, distracted, then obsessed. Probably a couple times a week when I’m consistent.

Before adding me, you should know:

I deal with some anxiety when it comes to talking, but I’m hoping this space helps me through that. I don’t post anything graphic, though some of the media I love touches on heavier themes like heartbreak, mental health, or loss.

Dealbreakers:

I’m not interested in anyone who puts others down for who they are, cruelty, or being dismissive.

Seeking New Friends

Name: Remy

Age: 41

I mostly post about: My personal life, mental health, game reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and other stuff. I am also working on a furry fantasy novel that I hope to finish typing up one of these days--I already have it written out in seven or so notebooks.

My hobbies are: AI furry art, reading, writing, video games

My fandoms are: I was heavily into the furry fandom and AI furry art communities but had several falling outs with the former ages ago and the latter recently that led to me leaving social media, but I still enjoy doing them.

I'm looking to meet people who: Comfort me when I'm in need, make insightful commentary on my entries, appreciate my unique autistic perspective.

My posting schedule tends to be: At least once every few days.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I am very somewhat ideologically sensitive as politics has broken tons of my past friendships.

Before adding me, you should know: I am autistic and very PTSD, damaged from 18 years of psychiatric medications. Read my sticky post to learn more.

Current Mood: nervous

Add me??

Name:Sami

Age:30's

I mostly post about:A little of everything I guess.

My hobbies are:Writing, Reading

My posting schedule tends to be: Pretty sporadic.

When I add people, my deal breaker is:If you're only reaching out when you need something, and never reciprocating support or interest in what's going on with me.

Before adding me, you should know: Nothing really. I like to think I'm a pretty laid back person. I'm a good listener and I'd be happy to meet some new people here.

Entry tags:

I write stuff. Gay stuff. Very gay stuff.

About My Journal: I have my own website, Ximerion, but I wanted a backup. So, my journal will mostly provide info about my books.

The sticky post provides an overview of all my books. It contains links to more specialized posts for each book. Or, at least, that’s the intention, because at this moment it is still very much a WIP. I will complete the info gradually.

I also will publish larger excerpts of my books. At the time of writing there are two. One from Dagger of Deception, the first of a series of medieval mysteries, with gay amateur sleuths, called Rahendo & Ryhunzo Mysteries. The other is from the second book of the same series, Last of the Line, projected publication late September or October 2025. I will post more excerpts later.

Finally, I plan posting some more personal musings, as well as quotes I stumble upon on the internet.

What I Write: I like to call my main series, Dark Tales of Randamor the Recluse Epic Historical Fantasy with Gay Main Characters. They’re full of action, political intrigue, battles, and, sort of, gay dark romance. They’re not for the faint of heart.

The Rahendo & Ryhunzo Mysteries are set in the same world, parallel to the main action, but are far more lighter fare. Almost cozy mysteries, perhaps.

My most recent book—at the time of writing—is a novella, The Conqueror, also set in the same world. It’s about a second plane character who has left the main action. While I found the rest of his story interesting to explore, it has no place in the main series.

I’ve also written a dystopian stand-alone novel, A Dish Served Cold, a few satirical short stories, and a short thriller.

Recently, I’ve begun entertaining writing bona fide Historical Novels. We’ll see…

What I Read: History, Historical Fiction, Fantasy and whatever I find interesting.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Maybe. Given the time, which I haven’t. The more important question is, “Would I be good at it?” Probably not. I would try to rewrite Someone Else’s Work in my own style. So, except for basic typo-hunting, no.
