Oh, hmm, let me think about how to go about this in a way that's not just very fandom specific.

Here goes!

• I love words and wordplay and writing sentence-level prose that I find sonically, or otherwise, satisfying (which I fixate on often at the expense of doing a better job with larger structural stuff, or in deprioritising writing things that sound plausible instead of that just make my brain fizz).
• Another of my writing foibles is that I can't bear to write sad things that aren't in any way funny, or funny things that aren't a bit sad.
• I am very over-confident and self-satisfied while also being profoundly insecure and embarrassed by every minute aspect of my person.
• I often try to be a dilettante and an expert, with varying degrees of success.
• I am instinctively very good at understanding cat body language, but had to learn human social skills from my culture of origin very deliberately and by rote and only really got the hang of them in my mid-twenties.
• I'm really going to try to have one that is unambiguously positive now: I am well loved by many wonderful friends who I met through fandom.

Hi, it's me, same hat.

Yeah, for me it's kind of "well all cats are autistic, but only some people are" as a friend of mine once put it, haha.
