The "Who is DizzyDrea" Post
It's been a few years since I've done an introductory post, but rather than edit the one I've been using, I'm just going to write a new one.
I've been in fandom for probably twenty years at this point, though I only started posting about ten years ago. Back then, I was a one-fandom-at-a-time kind of writer and a one-pair-per-fandom person. A lot has changed over the years. My list of fandoms has grown to nearly fifty as I can't seem to resist adopting a new fandom every year. And while I still have favorite pairs in every fandom, I've branched out into rare pairs for the most part. I like the challenge and the variety, as well as the freedom that gives me.
You can find the vast majority of my works on AO3 under the same name (DizzyDrea). I'm also active on Rough Trade, so during challenge months (April, July, and November), you can find an in-progress work from me. Outside of that challenge, I don't post unfinished works. I hate getting invested in reading a story only to have the writer abandon it, so I don't do it to my readers.
I normally post new works on Sundays, and if it's a multi-chapter story, it'll go up all at once. For those of you who love to binge new works, this is a boon. Grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy. Any story over ten thousand words will be broken up into chapters for easier reading, so if you like to draw it out, you have that choice.
Generally speaking, I like reading comments on my stories. Please don't complain at me if you didn't like the story, or didn't like something I wrote in the story. I'm writing for my own enjoyment, so don't harsh my buzz. Also, please don't point out errors. I know these stories aren't perfect, but since I don't tend to work with a beta reader, there will likely be errors and plot holes. If I can live with it, so can you.
One of the things I like the most about fandom is the opportunity to connect with other creators. If you want to talk fandom with me, feel free to reach out. I don't spend a lot of time on this blog, but I try to always respond when someone messages me. And if you want my help on a project you're working on, hit me up. I love talking out plot ideas and helping someone flesh out a character or story.
My profile is updated, and can be found here. There's a complete list of the fandoms I've written in, though I'm no longer active in most of them. There's also the list on AO3 if you'd prefer. Every year, I post a year-end review and master list of stories. I also have a sticky at the top of this blog that details what I'm currently working on, so if you're curious, you can keep track since I try to update it once a quarter.
If you want to read my original introductory post, click here. It's got a rundown of my journey through fandom, so if you're interested in knowing how I came to be a writer, it's all there. Past entries for the Snowflake Challenge are tagged as such; there are some fun posts from past years, so feel free to check it out. I have two fic rec posts from past Snowflake Challenges, here and here. And one more for this year's Snowflake Challenge here.
Happy reading!
