Yay and welcome! First of all, thank EVERYONE for joining the comm! We've been tickled pink by the turnout, and we hope that everyone will have an awesome time writing and reading!

In the interest of tiding us over until the bingo cards are given out on the 1st, why don't we have a good, old-fashioned introduction post! Feel free to mix and mingle, introduce yourself and your writing, talk about the weather, ask questions, or anything else that comes to mind! :D

Hey, I'm Tash, and I've never done a writing challenge thing before so crossing my fingers. Fanfiction's never really been my thing, so fic challenges just don't spark my interest.

I like modern fantasy, and my main influences are things like Sandman and Pan's Labyrinth. So less urban fantasy vampires and werewolves and more eerie unknowable-things-are-hiding-in-the-shadows. I like playing with ideas of what it means to be 'human,' perceptions of reality, mythology, politics, linguistics.

I've been working on this one series about dreams for a while, but it's gotten so cluttered that I'm going to have to go back to basics and rework it. Typically I tend to overorganize things, and plan and plan forever until a project becomes a veritable hydra. So hopefully this'll help actually get me writing. Also I signed up for the Gen+Romance card because I don't have much experience writing romance and want to work on fixing that.

Sandman. <3! Sandman is totally my brand of modern fantasy, too. I am probably due to read the whole series over again, it's been so long.

I hope you find some inspiration here! Welcome aboard! :D
