regasssa | Welcome!

Hello all the new people who have added me. I would pimp the Bleach meme, but actually, you're mostly from there anyhow. You're thinking - I kind of get who this person is, but I might hate them after I start reading your journal. Be not afraid -- I'll try not to frighten you away just yet.

I've been in Harry Potter fandom for ages, and I've been mostly writing NC-17 exchange fics for the last two years. I'm new to Bleach, so it's so good to have new friends who know what I'm talking about when I squee over things. I read the new chapters as they come out, and I -do- spoiler cut. Aren't I generous? All fic will be up to date unless deliberately AU. Spoilers will be warned for in art. My current WIP Friendship, Hatred and Science (click by Ichigo/Uryuu tag) is at about the half way mark, and does not contain spoilers for the anime if you're up to date, and is so far unspoilery for the manga, it might be considered ancient history. Art and fiction are both posted to my account on Deviantart.

Okay. So also - I role play on Yahoo, and will be, until the end of next month, in the Harry Potter post-canon game Road_Ahead, which is sadly closing, leaving an empty hole in my existence. I'm dreadfully sad to see it go, but at the same time, I was so pleased with my characters there, particularly Draco, that at least I feel as though I've achieved something, and of course the friends I've made are important to me too. I am officially looking for a new game to play.

I am into a lot of other stuff, even if I'm not directly involved in the fandom. Anything sci-fi/fantasy/crime that's aired on British terrestial TV, mostly. As in, ever. In terms of manga, a lot of it is very old - Bleach was my new dive into manga after taking a huge break from it (not including Death Note, which was nice and short and let me wet my feet). Before my break, I adored Yami no Matsuei, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, X:1999, Weiss Kreuz and DB/Z/GT.

I'm a cosplayer - that means that I dress up as characters from stuff. Last year I cosplayed Vincent Valentine, this year my cosplays are a spoilery Ulquiorra, Ishida and Trunks. You can check out my progress on my Cosplay Island account.

I am very fond of animals, particularly horses, and I have my own mare. For previous horse posts, try the 'Soraya' tag. This year I hope to breed her to an Apaloosa stallion I have my eye on, so if you like baby things, then woot.

Although I wrote in the Friends meme a very short list of pairings, the truth is closer to this -- if it's possible, and I'm asked to write it, I can. If it's possible, and the story premise appeals to me, I will read it. Basically...there's very little that holds me back. I've fallen for Bleach because there are just so many awesome characters that there's no way I could possibly get bored, and Harry Potter fandom has been keeping me entertained with fewer main characters for the last five years, so who knows where this will go. Good characters are awesome.

Here's the news bit, so I don't post twice.

I took Soraya out today on a longer ride than I really intended when I left. Mother and sister drove out looking for me because they were worried, but on the other hand, I got her across the motorway, and I was so pleased with her when we got to the other side that I really didn't mind when she acted flirty with the horses further along the path. She definitely needs to be shod this year, because the ginger-stepping on the stones isn't doing her much good, and it isn't doing my bones much good, either. It's really hard to ride when you're constantly taking all your weight on one of your own hips so that you don't end up in the ditch. Considering she's not been shod for ten months now, I was rather hoping to keep it that way.

However, that aside, the ride went blissfully well, even when two deer ran out of the wood just ahead of us, and she thought they were going to eat her. Even when the cars went underneath her. Even when we walked past a cow that was actually birthing on the edge of the field. Not even a blink. We even chivalrously fetched a baby-bottle that had been dropped in the grass by a family on a fishing trip. I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to more rides like it.

Oh, and Soraya looks so awesome now. Her fur's almost shed out and she's looking sleek and athletic. With a summer of work under saddle, I think this is going to be a superb year. Not for my hiney, though. My hiney aches. I haven't gone on such a long ride for way too long.

This evening, now it's cool and before the aches set in, I'm working on a mock-copy of Ulquiorra's outfit. Since I'm working on something that is spoilery, I'll cut it short and simply say that I want to get the main copy right. This one, however, I'll be able to test and play with it and still have something I can actually wear when I'm done. That rarely happens in cosplay. How do you wear Vincent's cape out, anyhow? I have this lovely blue diagonal stripe fabric, and we'll see how it turns out.

Yay for new friends XD

I love meeting people who love the characters as much as I do, and that like near enough all pairings. I can never seem to stick to just a few pairings or characters as favourites. I see them all and think 'wow, I have to write something about that!'... although I'm awfully slow on the writing front, I must say. I'm a terrible procrastinator. I've been trying to kick the horrible habit, but it's rather difficult.
