potofsoupI really liked norsellie' new intro post, so I'm stealing some bits:
Basics
1.5 gen Chinese American, in my 30s. bi in that I find everyone hot??? Pronouns: they/them preferred online, but I honestly don't care. My RL job is teaching high school.
Subscription/access policy
All my posts are public, so just subscribe. I go through my circle list and automatically follow back about once a week. My dash curation strategy is generally "follow everyone and then unsubscribe when I feel overwhelmed."
Other Places I Can Be Found
summercomfort is where I post personal stuff -- 90% to-do lists, with occasional life updates, etc. Pretty much everything there is public, too, so subscribe if you want that stuff.

I have a nsfw blog, happy to share via DM.
Fandom stuff I do
Mostly I draw stuff -- fan comics and art for fanfics that I love. Sometimes I try my hand at the writing thing, and it's always so hard. I guess I sometimes also write stuff like tutorials or meta. I also mod some stuff, and print the occasional fan anthology. I have a storenvy if you want printed versions of my fanzines, and a patreon where I post bonus process blatherings and comic drafts.
Creator policies
Sharing and reblogging:
Link and share how you want, text snippets and thumbnails are great.
Thumbnails: My reblog snippets usually include a thumbnail, so that's the easiest thing to do. Otherwise, I'd prefer if the thumbnail is 200px wide. (On DW, just use the original image in the post but with awidth="200" attribute in the img tag)
Archiving and reposting
Please don't post my stuff in places pretending it's yours. Please don't throw my artwork into a post and say "I forgot who made this." If I'm not on a specific platform and you want my stuff to be there, or if you are a fanwork curator and want to include my stuff in your curated collection -- please use a thumbnail or text link to my AO3, and then drop me a link to the post. (see above for thumbnail guidelines).
Transformative works
Run free and wild, just tell me so that I can link back!
Fannish history
Got into the Rurouni Kenshin fandom in high school (1999), subscribed to a bunch of egroups mailing lists, read half of the Fushigi Yuugi fanfic archives, and probably half of the Gundam Wing and Weiss Kreuz ones, too. And a smidge of pre-2002 Harry Potter. Left fandom before the LJ fandom took off, returned 10 years later in 2014 by searching for "Bucky Barnes" on tumblr and clicking "follow" a bunch of times.
Current most active fandom
Captain America/Avengers MCU.
Other stuff that I enjoy flailing about:
Doctor Who -- In the last 2 years my husband's collection has grown to fill 3 shelves and he's now reading the books and listening to the radio stuff. I've kind of along for the ride, but I love the 2nd Doctor with Jamie and Zoe and I have lots of opinions about everyone else.
Brooklyn 99, Steven Universe, Disney movies, Jinyong Wuxia novels
Also I have opinions about game design and tabletop rpgs.
Fanwork tropes/clichés I enjoy
Hurt/comfort, identity porn, shrinkyclinks, found family. Putting Bucky Barnes through immense pain to see him come out the other side. Everyone being able to communicate like mostly competent human beings. Acknowledging that relationships can be complicated things where different people have different needs, but where people's care for one another will see everyone through.
