Since I have some new people in my circle and I’ve been seeing other people being more active here I thought it would be good to (re)introduce myself.

Hello! I’m Forest or Anna. I use this journal mostly to talk about media I’m consuming and my daily life. I also write for

ladybusiness and sometimes write fanfic

I’m a white woman in early 40s and I’m a lifelong SFF reader and a more recent reader of fanfic. I’m a mom with one kid. I’m currently unemployed but have an academic background in ecology and urban planning.

For the last few years or so I've been dealing with tendonitis in both of my wrists, and that's been an adjustment. I also have an auditory processing disorder. I often find my disables very frustrating!

I love cozy SFF, worldbuilding, material culture, history, Chinese dramas especially wuxia, intersectional criticism, mentorship, fictional moms, and tea. Since discovering Chinese dramas a few years ago I’ve been reading a lot about Chinese history. I post-semi regular media roundups where I talk about things I've read and watched recently.

I'm currently studying Classical Chinese with a tutor. I love it so much, something about the way the language works just makes my brain happy! I post the occasional translation at

I don’t tend to grant access to people who I’ve just met, but I also rarely post anything access locked.
