I'm Tin and I've been writing fanfiction for way too long. No dork like an old dork.

If you wish to be linked (or if you have a suggested link to another journal/website), please comment to the posts(s) in question. Thanks~



Website

I own and run (sort of) a very very small independent press based in the Philippines. The press specializes in anthologies: Quatre Gats Press.

There's also India and The Conundrum, a monthly serial magazine and Maybe Sparrow, a (very small) literary review.


Other

I'm also involved in a book club called Read or Die as well as a non-profit Org13.org.



Contact

I can (usually) be reached at tinandtin@gmail.com and, while I'm not the most interactive person on LJ discussion boards, I also reply to queries via lj comments :)



Pseudo-FAQ

How do you post to a journal like it's a community when it... doesn't look like a community?

obakesan is a shared journal, which is a pretty outmoded lj setting, something like the missing link between personal journals and communities. Here's how you can turn your journal into a shared journal:

Please note that the only advantage to having a shared journal is being able to keep the personal lj user icon (oh, and being able to make sticky posts if the occasion calls for it since entries are sorted according to date) ^^; In all other ways, it behaves like a community, which means that you can't 1) filter your entries; 2) read your lj friends' locked posts.

Which means that if you're iffy about adding this journal because it might give a stranger like me access to your friends-only post, there's no need to worry on that score since I can only read public entries anyhow.

What is obakesan, exactly?

It's a fandom/fic journal by team7 (Tin). The fanfic is locked so only people friended to this journal can see it but yeah, it's mostly fandom stuff here.

Why are your fics locked?

Because I'm shy. Seriously.

I know you from Rurouni Kenshin. You wrote that smushy-mushy fic...

Sorry! You got the wrong person. I'm a semi-Wiccan archeologist based in Tahiti. My name means 'Emerald-Hued Glittering Golden Fields' in ancient Paprika. So that's a different Tin you're talking about, I'm sure.
