So, apparently the essay I wrote for last year's xf_is_love, "I do not gaze at Scully" The Rain King: The X Files' Response to Laura Mulvey, has been nominated for the best essay/meta category at No Rest for the Wicked. That was a pleasant message to wake up to this Sunday morning! Funnily enough, I've been reading a few of the fandom snowflake challenge posts that have been popping up on my flist, and thinking about whether a) I should do it too and b)whether I'd signpost people to my meta rather than my fic. I've got a few fics I think have been read less than I'd have liked, by I really like the meta that I've written. What a strange coincidence.
I'm a PhD candidate at Cardiff University writing about gender, The X-Files and fanfiction. I'm a writer of short stories, flash fiction and science fiction, and a sometime photographer. My interests are many and varied, and include (but are not limited to) body modification, philosophy, mental health, Harry Potter, Torchwood, science fiction, religion, Dr Who, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, The X Files, Neil Gaiman, comics, the vampire in film and literature and Sherlock.
