Hi. I think I already shared a bit in my introduction post, but I'll see what else I can say about myself

• I go by Kain in social media, I'm in my late 20s, and I don't really have preferred pronouns. Just, use the pronouns you use for yourself with me :3c
• I like purple and turtles, I have a dog and his name is filomeno
• I started to read fics and getting into fandom when I was 8, so I remember stuff I should have been too young for.
• I played all the Pokemon games up until sun & moon, since then I have been disillusioned with the franchise and haven't really interacted with it much
• I stay in dead fandoms on purpose because witnessed a lot of abuse and harassment in big fandoms and I got a bit traumatized. I also like fandoms with big latino/asian population and almost not English fandom because they're more peaceful
• I kind of hate discord
• I love to participate in zines and collaborative fanish projects because i work better with a deadline
• I was a lurker in fandom for a long time because I took the "stranger danger" instructions seriously (8 years old)
• I only started participating in fandom in 2019, before that I had never done any fanart or fanfic. My first ever fanart and fanfic were of Naruto

feel like I just rambled instead of saying anything insteresting, Soo, dear reader, what is your favorite color? Do you have a pet? If yes, what's their name?

Yessss, I have been searching all over livejournal and finding so many forgotten gems!
The bad part is when a beloved work disappears from internet and the only thing you found is people in 2009 talking about how good that fic was :')

When fics get deleted it's so sad :((( I remember this one amazing fic I read in highschool and one day it was just suddenly gone. I think the author had pretty much wiped themselves off the internet.

Yeah... I am pretty sure that my favorite fic from 2006 got nuked in the fanfiction.net purge :c it was never finished but I still loved to reread it from time to time until one day it was gone
This is why I am saving fics I found in livejournal now :')
