hey strangers...
So due to 
theladyscribe's fantastic DW friending meme, I seem to have acquired some new friends. Hello, new friends! Probably this means I should do some kind of re-intro post. Which, being a lazy bum, I'm mostly copying and pasting from an intro post thing I did about a year ago. Whatever.
So I'm
kaydeefalls, and you can find me using that name on AO3, Tumblr, and LJ as well. I've been going by that pseud for more than half my life at this point, and see no reason to ever change it. (Yes, there is still X-Files fanfic by my thirteen-year-old self lurking somewhere in the depths of the internet under this name, and for the record, I apologize.) I do my best to keep my real name completely divorced from my fandom identity, primarily for professional reasons (like 99% of the people I interact with on a regular basis know I write fanfic, I really don't give two fucks about keeping that secret, but that doesn't mean I want my coworkers reading my old Jack/Ianto porn) -- but honestly, I've been kaydee for so long at this point that I instinctively respond to that name as easily as my real name.
I'm multi-fannish by nature, though I tend to particularly fixate on one or two fandoms at a time. X-Files was my first fandom, Mulder/Scully my first OTP, and we have a forever love. The first fandom most people probably knew me from was LotR RPS, and that will likely always be the first fandom that tops the list on my AO3 dash because I was really freaking prolific in it. I also spent a good long while in the Remus/Sirius corner of the Harry Potter fandom. I've been fairly active in Doctor Who (and Torchwood for a while) as well, although I've been less enamored of the show lately. X-Men movieverse is my longest-running active fandom, since I got into it when X2 came out and never entirely left; First Class pulled me back in with a vengeance. But these days I'm primarily obsessed with the MCU, thanks to Winter Soldier. I also write up weekly recaps for Sleepy Hollow for another blog (under my real name), which I crosspost here. And I've been participating in Yuletide every year since its inception, so there's that. These days I seem to be far more prolific at vidding than writing. Not sure why.
Outside of fandom, I'm a professional theater stage manager, currently living and working in NYC (which also happens to be my hometown). In the past ten years, I've also lived in Washington DC, Chicago, Dublin, and a tiny town on a very tall mountain in Colorado. Theater folk tend toward the nomadic existence. Working in theater means that my schedule is weird and varies widely from month to month (or week to week), which is why sometimes I'm writing/vidding constantly and then sometimes I fall off the face of the internet for weeks (...months...) on end. I'm starting to consider a career shift, but I'm not sure to what, and I still love theater an awful lot.
I'm also a queer Jewish woman, for the record. I tend to shorthand ID as lesbian, because that's quick and easy to understand, but I believe sexuality is an ever-evolving spectrum (at least for me), and "queer" encompasses that concept better, for me. I'm like 95% atheist as well, but definitely ID as Jewish because it's an important part of my cultural heritage. Politically, I'm very liberal.
And...yeah! There are still plenty of dates open in the December posting meme, if you want to hear my blather about anything in particular.
