AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Hours_Gone_By

The fannish platform(s) I am most active on is/are: Dreamwidth, AO3.

My main contribution(s) to fandom is/are: writing, reading, commenting, 
Link(s) to my Masterlist(s): Everything is posted on AO3 so you can find my complete list here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Hours_Gone_By/works

Fandom(s) I enjoy: Transformers is what I'm obsessed with focussed on right now, but I also include Lord of the Rings, The Goblin Emperor, SPECTR, Whyborne & Griffin and Star Trek.
My favorite people/characters in this/these fandom(s) are: Going to focus on Transformers this year since that's probably the fandom you'll see me contributing to for the next while, so in no particular order:

• Prowl
• Jazz
• Optimus Prime
• Shockwave
• Knock Out
• Bluestreak

• Prowl/Jazz.
• Bluestreak/Hound
• Bluestreak/Mirage
• TFP Optimus Prime/Ratchet
• Knock Out/Dreadwing

The type(s) of fanwork(s) I consume the most is/are: fic, with the occasional fanmix
Fanwork tropes/clichés I enjoy are: Easier to list what I don't like: any variation on fuck or die (including heat fic), a/b/o, death fic. And, because I've gotten my head bitten off before, let it be known that I don't care if anyone else is into that because I'm a firm believer in YKINMK.

Non-fandom things I enjoy: (hobbies, interests, job, etc…) Knitting, watching horror movies, true crime, video games, cooking
I post/want to post mostly about: Apart from Snowflake most of what I post is fic updates, though I'd like to start including a monthly update on my writing stats to keep me honest. After NaNo this past year I started keeping track of the number of words I write per day, my monthly total words and average words/day along with a target of 50,000 words/month. I set a target number of words/day to write and it does help to have something visual. I also have charts!

One thing I am good at: Graphics, actually, though I haven't done any for fandom in quite a while.
Other things I want to share about myself: I can be shy but I'm actually quite friendly, even if I do go quiet at times.
