So I never did an #introduction but I probably should, so...

I'm Alis! I'm an #sff #author and I love #monsters and so I write books about monsters. I also sometimes (very rarely) draw, and (mostly) play way too many #videogames.

I'm also the admin of fandom.ink, a small #fandom centric Masto instance, inspired by the #tumblr exodus and aimed at #fanart, #fanfic, #RP, and other general fannish content. (Also cat photos.)

So... hi!

I mean it's not as memorable as "coffeeshop AU" but I think it could catch on?

My niche fanfic genre is "flawed adults being competent and collaborative at their high-stakes-yet-surprisingly-boring bureaucratic jobs, even-and-especially when they don't like each other much."

... I can never play another game on Steam ever again.

I actually don't mind dark *interfaces*, but any large block of text (particularly any large block of text II am typing in)? Yeah no. Dark-on-light all the way.

As someone with severe astigmatism, I am begging every developer out there; please please please stop freakin designing every damn thing in dark mode.

til the term "electrocution" is a portmanteau of "electrical execution" and originally referred to the electric chair

Possibly the most appropriately meta music/videoclip combo ever produced...

Aah, yes, we're up to the point in the story where I need to Google "how to properly flay a human cadaver" and it's like... maybe we can just fudge this one instead?

My favorite one this time was the "about how many hours a day have you spent playing videogames in the last week?" question.

It's like... mate, I'm on leave at the moment it's bold of you to assume I've been doing literally anything else.
