Hello! My name is on my journal, so I might as well say: hi, I’m Lee. I live in London. I’m a queer/ace trans man (ish). I’m autistic, ADHD and disabled. My main contribution to fandom, historically at least, is writing, and my main other hobbies are gaming, coding and music - I sing and play piano, and am considering taking up the tenor saxophone. I also knit a little, though it’s hard on my wrists so not as much as I used to!

My main fandom/obsession/lifestyle at the moment is Final Fantasy XIV, which is the current MMO. (There was also FFXI, which I played for a while, but not in a very long time.) I also love Doctor Who, DS9, Murderbot, Dirk Gently, Good Omens, and a whole bunch of other things. I used to be pretty active in a boyband RPF fandom.

I think that’s more or less me!

Thanks! I did add them. (Sorry for the delayed reply!)

I'm lucky enough not to have arthritis (at least not yet), just mild RSI-type issues, but my wrists do complain about knitting a lot. It doesn't help that I write, code, game, and play piano, all of which require quite a lot of hand dexterity!

I am the world's worst visual artist, but every now and then I have the urge to see what I might be able to learn. Do you have any resources you might suggest for someone who is Terrible?

I have been taking art classes at two local museums, a community arts center and a local community college. The first class I took was Fiber arts. On zoom. I met a wonderful group of women and we started meeting monthly. I am a retired RN but they were all practiced artists. Through them I found other classes. I also searched museum websites. You could probably take my drawing class. It's free, you just have to buy materials. PM if you want the website. The teacher is excellent. Check colleges, museums and community centers. Oh and libraries too. The drawing class is on Zoom
By the way. No residency requirements.
