Name/stats/about you: My name's Nikki, I'm nearly (ohgod) twenty-one, Welsh, pansexual, engaged to my girlfriend of nearly (ohgod) five years. I'm a Unitarian Universalist, but I haven't talked much about my faith for a long time. How are you participating in ladiesbigbang? Writing fic. Your top three favorite women: My girlfriend, Dar Williams (folk singer), Summer Glau (mostly as River Tam, but she's always awesome). More space to love on women: Funny story: Supernatural fandom's attitude toward the women characters pissed me off so much that at one point, I made it a point to have an icon of every single named speaking-part female on the show. I have kept a surprising number of them for quite a while, and have fallen in love with a lot more of the women characters in the time because of it. What sort of works do you like to consume/create? I write and read fic, I like to look at art. Audio stuff is a tad more problematic: I'm partially deaf. Music is okay, podfic not so much. What's your style of journaling? I talk about whatever happened during the day, and whatever came to mind, and the stuff I need to do or stuff I'm looking forward to. Consequently, a lot of posts end up a mishmash of Deep Thought and "zomg zomg my daddy's coming to see me tomorrow!!!" (not a quote). People reassure me that it's interesting. An example post or a few: I can't really share, because my day to day posts are always access locked. There's one relatively recent post on my experience of sexual assault: pretty heavy going, and a tad more formal than my day-to-day writing, but it might give you an idea of the kind of person I am. Any woman-centric recs to share? My brain is, just at this moment, utterly blank. The only woman-centric thing I've been absorbed by lately is my own AU Big Bang fic, in which Ellen Harvelle plays a central part. (Damn, maybe she should've been on my list of top three favourite women...) Free space: Anyone who adds me on this meme, I'll add back -- no need to go leave a comment on my 'f-only' post. And, um, for general writing support, relevant_productivity has an excellent group of regulars who are good at cheering you on and celebrating. auroraprimavera and I created it for Big Bang addicts, hence why I think of it right now...
