Hi! My name is Skylark. Iโ€™m 28 years old and my pronouns are she/they.

First and foremost, I am a writer. I write both fanfiction and original works. You can find my fanfiction on AO3 under the same username as here โ€“ skylarkblue.

You can expect to see a lot of Batman and the X-Men on this blog, but truthfully I post a mix of fandoms! Older fandoms of mine include Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Elementary.

My current hyperfixation is womenโ€™s artistic gymnastics, so youโ€™ll probably see a lot of that, too!

My personal tag is #skylark prive โ€“ blacklist it if you donโ€™t want to see my many ramblings.

Iโ€™m also one of the moderators of @fuckyeahjaysteph and I have a book blog over at @theomnilegent, so give those a follow if that content interests you!

Went to a queer short film festival at the university tonight with the beautiful @hollie47 and @post-futurism. It was so much to be in a place of great trauma for me, but queer, with queer friends, watching queer films. This place tried to break me when I was 20 but I'm still here.

Still here, still queer.

It really is crazy how if you mention you write fanfiction with people outside fandom, they're always like "you should change the names and try to sell it." It misses the point (fun), but more importantly to me, I get slightly (and I know irrationally) insulted on a craft letter. Excuse me, my fanfic is entwined with the canon, thank you very much. I wish sometimes less entwined. You wouldn't believe the stupid bullshit some of my fics have to include because of canon.

There's something extremely depressing to me about how many people just don't want to get weird with female characters the way they do with male characters.

Like, I can kind of see why a lot of people feel weird about writing about bad things happening to female characters, but what it leads to is everyone putting female characters up on a shelf where you can admire them but you can't actually do anything interesting with them because that might be sexist or just make people feel bad. And I think that's actually a whole lot worse in the long run.
