Snowflake Day 1

Challenge #1
In your own space, introduce yourself!

Hey, I am Prisca, and I am here because I am addicted to words.

Lol! It feels strange to introduce myself here after having journals at LJ and DW for over 12 years.

When I started with LJ, I was pretty unsure about it where the road would take me. I am more introverted than extroverted, and English is not my native language, so I was not sure if I would be able to make some friends. But soon, I discovered some fandoms and fanfiction, and everyone was so friendly that I dared to make my first posts. Better not look for them, I have to admit my English was very rough back then. I know it's still not perfect, but I hope I've learned enough to make my posts more bearable.

Today my main account is at Dreamwidth, though my LJ account (prisca1960) is still existing because I don't want to lose contact with some old friends who never made the step to Dreamwidth. Sadly I have to admit that I was not the best friend during 2020; though I visited Dreamwidth almost every day, there were only a handful of posts and even fewer comments. I hope to do better this year because I miss it to be in contact with my friends.

I would not call myself an author, but I love to write fanfiction (sometimes a poem or original ficlets), just for fun. You can find my drabbles and mini-ficlets at my writing archive or at AO3 (not updated since a while; I guess this is something else I should change in 2021).

Last year I also discovered my love for making icons. I am still a beginner, but if you want to risk a look, go here.

I remember when people started to drift slowly from LJ to DW, and I couldn't see the point. Then suddenly it became a flood. I don't think I have any friends over there now who aren't actually crossposting from DW.

Well, I think, most people on my mini-friendlist decided to stay at LJ at first, but I made the step to DW because of the more interesting/active writing challenge communities. I never regret this step.
