snowflake_challenge this year, but what a good question and also I've got to know a few new people this year just gone, so here goes.
About myself, then: I'm still me, after all this time. I'm in my mid thirties, it's my birthday the week after next. I'm British-Indian, a queer, nonbinary, dull lawyer and public servant. I'm a writer, and I went through a phase last year of trying some other forms of artistic expression, but it turns out I don't really want to paint or draw or throw pots or do collage, I still only want to write. I'm a pro SFF writer and a fanfic writer too. My fiction tends to be quite sad, but it's not grimdark, and I can do comedy when I put my mind to it. Right now I'm writing a Christmas romance, and another one about solar system colonisation. I'm also a poet but not much of one.
Otherwise: I try and collect delightful friends, many of whom are also fannish people and/or writers and/or other kinds of artist. I read widely, I listen to music more or less continuously, I know some Hindi, French and Scottish Gaelic, and I understand a lot of Bengali, but the only language I can really speak is English. I'm a manic-depressive, which makes me great fun at parties. I love cities and railways, I love rollerskating and wild swimming, and I love brandy cream. And I really am terribly, unutterably dull. But I get by. And that's who I am.
