A Proper Intro Post
Now I have successfully dealt with my major academic requirements for this week, I thought I'd do a proper intro post for all my new friends! Can I just say how lovely it is to see you all on my flist - I actually had to go back two pages to catch up this morning! It's be years since I've had to do that.
So, hi! I'm Gatty. I'm a 24 year old Brit, currently studying MA English Literature at the University of Warwick. I'm doing a lot of creative writing classes on the side, and setting up a new YA anthology. Writing is my passion, and my career goal. I primarily write YA, and am currently working on two major projects with a view to approaching agents/publishers this year. I love a good zombie apocalypse, with a dash of fantasy (urban and trad), with a particular focus on kick-ass ladies.
I can be found in other places: twitter, tumblr. AO3 and ravelry. If you want to IM just PM me and I'll give you my names :D
If you've posted your tumblr, I've probably followed you. My fic writing depends on how much free time I have/how much I want to procrastinate. I'm currently wallowing in a deep pool of Tokien feelings, so possibly expect to see fic for that at some point.
I am a bookaholic, clothes lover, cat adorer and intrepid adventurer(ish). My academic work mostly focuses on place&space, gender, travel, performance, liminality and mental illness. I'm writing my dissertation on Liminal Space, Performance and Gender in Sarah Water's Neo-Gothic novels, but the project is veering off in all sorts of directions so who knows where I'll end up when I have to hand in in September.
I'm also a giant language dork. I speak French and Japanese, with a passing acquaintance with Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch and Chinese. I've lived abroad in Japan for a year and a half, and Australia for about four months. I also move around the UK a lot. 2012 saw me living variously in Australia, London, Somerset, Oxford and Coventry. Travel Bug? Me? Shhh.
Hopefully that background will make my LJ posts more coherent! Please don't feel you have to lurk, I adore all comments :D
PS if you have a tumblr, comment here and let me know what it is so I can follow you! Also so I know whose LJ goes with which tumblr XD
Also I really need to get new icons. Recs anyone?
