Profile

My pronouns are she/her.

I grew up in a family that loved SF/F, both books and TV/movies. In high school, I started reading fanfic and lurking in fannish spaces. My username was Beatrice after my favorite Shakespeare character until I tried to join a message board that already had a Beatrice; I added "otter" to it because it was a childhood nickname, and have been Beatrice Otter in fannish spaces ever since. It wasn't until years later that I realized that "Beatrice Otter" sounds like a play on Beatrix Potter, who was a favorite childhood author.

I wrote my first published fanfic in 2005, and got my Livejournal in 2006. Shortly thereafter, I wrote my first ficathon story (for the Unconventional Crossover Ficathon) and the rest is history. I love fanwork exchanges. I am polyfannish, and I tend to love minor characters and rare pairings. I have done Yuletide every year since 2007, and have been a Hippo for many of those years.

I am active on DW and tumblr, and archive all my fic both places plus AO3 and ff.net. I like redundancy, and I've seen too many beloved fics (and beloved archives) vanish. I'm on Discord, currently on the Yuletide, Murderbot 2.0, Radchdome 3.0, The Goblin Emperor, and vulkhansu boards.

I am willing to Beta stories in fandoms I know.

Unless a work is noted as original to me, the characters and universes in my stories remain the property of the persons and corporations who created them.

Once something's done and posted, any kind of discussion, commentary, critique, dissection, etc is welcome, whether it be here, elsewhere, what-have-you. Need an example for the meta point you're making? Feel free to pick something I wrote to little pieces, and I mean that in both the literary-dissection sense or in the more typically-used send of the word "critique", namely, the pointing-out of what didn't work for you in the story.

This journal is primarily for fandom use. Although I am friends with some of the people on my "friends list" (mostly those whom I know in real life), I use the "friends list" primarily as a means of finding fanfiction and interesting meta posts. And I barely have enough time to read what's on my "friends list" as it is. If I don't friend you back, or defriend you, it has nothing to do with how nice you are or how much I like you, so please don't take it personally.

I am also on tumblr and AO3, and I am and always have been Beatrice_Otter.
