Profile

This is primarily a fandom and fanfiction journal. I'm fairly multifannish; my current favorites include Discworld, Hot Fuzz (also Spaced, Hyperdrive, Shaun of the Dead, and anything else featuring Simon Pegg and/or Nick Frost), Doctor Who (new and classic), and Blake's 7. Some of my other fannish interests are Aubrey and Maturin, Hellblazer, Mary Renault's novels, The Professionals, Raymond Chandler's novels, Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe novels, Rome, Sherlock Holmes, Torchwood, and too many books and movies to list here, especially ones with gay male characters. I don't write regularly in all of these fandoms, but they're the ones I'm likely to discuss, read fic or meta about, squee about, and so on. I used to be active in the Buffyverse, due South, and (to some extent) Harry Potter, but it's not likely that I'll be writing more stories in these fandoms. Almost all of my fic, including the old stuff, is on my journal and can be found using my tags.

This journal also makes occasional forays into politics and other non-fannish topics. I don't post much personal stuff, but in case you're curious, I am:

1) a fanfiction writer since May 2003

2) a boyslasher, although I also like a bit of good gen now and then

3) a trans man slowly learning to accept myself as such

4) a bookish and sometimes literary sort, although I find science fiction, fantasy, and mystery novels more interesting than most contemporary "literary" fiction

5) a former academic, currently experiencing the economic downturn from entirely too close a vantage point

6) an Anglophile, but in the "I love English literature, films, and television" sense rather than the "I love the royal family" sense

7) a cynic, a misanthrope and a romantic, in varying and unpredictable proportions depending on my mood


My username, if you were wondering, has nothing to do with John Constantine's girlfriend Kit or Dawn Summers's friend Kit. Instead, pretentiously enough, it comes from a nickname given to the playwright Christopher Marlowe. He was notoriously sharp-tongued and ill-tempered, so his (few) friends called him "kind Kit."

If you like my writing, please feel free to subscribe to my journal--there's no need to ask first. All of my stories are posted publicly, unlocked, and so is the majority of my meta and discussion.

Also, I love comments, especially on fic. If you liked it, I'd love for you to tell me so. And if you didn't like it, tell me why. Constructive criticism is welcome here.
