I'm Potboy on Ao3 as well, and not fannish anywhere else.

My fandoms: Star Wars - just a total Hux stan, but also of old a Qui-Gon Jinn stan. Also Everett Young from Stargate SGU, Tolkien fandom (with a focus on Celeborn), PotC, Norrington, and various others in passing. I'm a One True Character person - I focus on one character and multi-ship them and/or enjoy meta and gen fic about them.

What kind of content I post - it's likely to be a mess of personal and fannish stuff. My personal stuff tends to be morris dancing, writing, trans and ace stuff and the perils of being an indie-published author. Fannish stuff tends to be meta at the moment because the aforesaid original writing gets in the way of writing fanfic.

Commenting policies - I am open to discussion about almost everything. BUT I am not open to discussion on whether trans or ace identities are real things. My son is trans, I am ace, I do not want to hear your theories about the validity of my lived experience. (I say this because in the past I have been open to discussion about these things too. But now I'm way too tired for that.) I will also heavily moderate if I see commenters arguing among themselves. I'm aiming for it to be a safe and civil space.

Hi! Just wanted to say that I love the concept of One True Character.

Ha! Thank you :) Yes, I don't get the pairing bug really, but oh boy can I fixate on a single character like nobodies' business :)

I haven't heard anything about Qui-Gon in years. I still love him, though. Do you ship him with anyone?

Got any good Celeborn meta?

(Thank you so much for protecting trans and ace people. Are other politics banned too or just that one?)

I'm not much of a shipper, tbh, and everything I've written about Qui-Gon is gen. But I read a lot of Qui/Obi in my time, and I wished hard for some Qui-Gon/Dooku, almost but not quite to the point of writing it myself ;)

I dithered a lot about whether or not I decided to say "if your opinions or politics are obnoxious to me, I reserve the right to ban you for the sake of other readers," but in the end I decided that went without saying. Perhaps it doesn't, though. I should add that on!

I'm an old-fashioned British Socialist who is also a liberal Christian, which should give you a good idea of where I lie on the political spectrum :)
