I think most people following me have been around since the other snowflakes, but here is me in a nutshell, nametag meme ganked from

If you want to participate, share this in your own space so your followers can get to know you.

Other things I've been known as (that I'm willing to share) ...
She/her, you can call me Energy or NRG. I've always been NRGburst whether on ff.net, twitter, LJ, 8tracks, AO3 or tumblr.

A bit about my nonfannish life ...
I live in Japan and am married to a Japanese man and have two Japanese kids, but I'm Chinese Canadian. I teach English and love travelling.

A bit about my fannish life ...
I've always been a fic-writer, but I like making GIFsets too. I usually do one fandom at a time- the thing I was super into this year was Arya/Gendry from Game of Thrones. I tend to stan female characters and prefer female POV in most things. Honestly tired of narratives that need me to see the good in a badly behaved white male character.

Things I'm super-enthusiastic about
Right now, reading! I've finished 3 books in the past few days that were all good to excellent: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn (SO GOOD! I want my own copy!), Uprooted by Naomi Novik (Also excellent and worth owning. Such good worldbuilding and action/tension loaded.) and Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews (Pretty good first novel in a series. A fun Fantasy/SF premise and relatable heroine and two sexy love interests.)
I also love The Dragon Prince fandom right now, and I'm guessing The Witcher will be up my alley, judging by the GIFsets going by on tumblr.
I will be doing

trope_bingo and

chocolateboxcomm this year as well as snowflake.
Fics that I want to write: GoT: Sansa/Podrick, Sansa/Yara, Bran/Jojen fix-it as well as the War for the Dawn oneshot post Bound.

My transformative works policy is on my stickied post, although that post needs updating now that Yuletide reveals have gone up.

Feel free to friend me, ask any questions and/or gush about shared faves! :)

Hi to everybody from the friending meme!

I'm still in the process of leaving LJ and moving in here, so bear with me while I try to get organized!

I tend to post about TV and movies, but I might talk a little about real life occasionally. (I've lived in Japan for 13 years but am probably moving back to Canada this year with my husband and our two little girls.) This year I'm most excited about The Originals coming back (March 17th!) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I might be making reaction posts to Game of Thrones, How to Get Away with Murder and/or Agents of Shield as well as those fandoms mentioned in the friending meme. Maybe Luke Cage too, if I ever get around to watching it. I'm also reading American Gods this month, thanks to

charlie_bz and hoping/praying/crossing fingers that Fox will renew Pitch.

As somebody who GIFs I'm also super excited about DW's 60k limit on icon size! They are noticeably sharper and more colourful than LJ ones and it just makes me :DDD Feel free to take and use these! (Please credit me. Let me know if you want to use them as bases or if you want me to add text to one!) I've tried to represent my current faves:
