There are over 500 of you.

::waves to everybody::

Since I have to write a synopsis of The Mirador today, and since synopsis-writing is an activity which I both hate and am incredibly bad at, I'm going to issue an open invitation:

Tell me something about yourself.

It's an invitation, obviously--nothing even as strong as a request--so if you don't want to, no harm, no foul. But if you'd like to (and this applies as much to the people I know as the people I don't) ... tell me something. Make it as long or as short, as serious or as goofy as you want. If you are a reader who doesn't have a LiveJournal account, that's totally cool, too--just please remember to sign your comment.

I'm an academic who refuses to specialise, and I finally found a PhD program that won't make me do it (or at least was willing to accept my very strange dissertation proposal). My writing is the same way, more or less. If something feels right (be it humour, ghosts, what have you), I put it in. If I ever manage to get published, I shudder to think where the hypothetical book might get shelved.

I remember being absolutely confused by Mélusine when I first ran across it a few months ago on Amazon (I was looking for Jean d'Arras' poem of the same name) and realised it had nothing to do with serpent-women. ;)

Oh, and I have a birthmark in my right eye.
