Experience: Instructor teaching essay writing, including to

American Southeast, I am asexual and demiromantic, adult-diagnosed
ADHD, 7+ years of graduate-level academic research experience
Other notes about labor offered: Betaing: if you are very
concerned about every comma and semicolon, I may not be the best
option, but I am good at working with intelligibility, catching
spelling mistakes, and helping the writing flow. I am also comfortable
working on creating a consistent style (i.e., historical, imitating a
certain author, etc)
Research: if you are writing about a specific
topic or profession that no one has offered help for, I have lots of
experience finding information and have access to academic
institutions that have resources not easily available to the public. I
specialize in queer history, British and American history, the history
and effects of colonialism, and historical literature.
Sensitivity
Reading: I am happy to offer feedback on the portrayal of ace
characters, including ace or ace spectrum characters who enter
romantic or sexual relationships. I am also happy to look for if an
ADHD character's thoughts seem realistic, how medication might impact
them, what they might do instead of medication, and what the diagnosis
process is like.

nerdsandthelike Auction #2
Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of
the listed groups (See full
list.)
Type of fanwork: Written
Subtype(s): Fanfic
Fandom(s): Benoit Blanc Mysteries (Knives Out, Glass
Onion), Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, The Old Guard
Highest rating: M (Mature)
Length/scope: Less than 5k words
Especially interested in: character studies; historical fics;
future fic/post-canon; AUs, especially strange and unusual AUs; any
kind of healthy, loving relationship; found family
For Glass
Onion/Knives Out: Blanc's past, including past cases and
Blanc/Phillip, Blanc & Marta and/or Blanc & Helen, future fic about
Marta or Helen, ridiculous AUs or crossovers (including involving
muppets, the film Clue, and the Scooby Doo Gang)
For Miss Fisher's
Murder Mysteries: Jack/Phryne, Phryne & Mac, Phryne & Dot, Dot/Hugh,
Cec/Bert, poly Phryne who is still super in love with Jack, case fic,
fluff, humor, slice of life, modern AUs, bi4bi Phryne/Jack, trans
woman Phryne, earlier adventures in Phyrne's life
For The Old
Guard: Joe/Nicky, Andy/Quynh, Nile and Joe friendship, ridiculous AUs,
trans characters in those AUs, the team and gender/sexuality in
history
Unwilling to address: RPF, incest, Mpreg, A/B/O,
teacher/student, significant age gaps, noncon or dubcon, dark versions
of any character, explicit sex (fade to black, references to sex,
including specific sex acts, and discussion of sex is all fine), self
harm/suicide, cheating
For Glass Onion/Knives Out: Marta/Ransom,
Helen/Miles, basically anything where Ransom or Miles in particular
are portrayed as sympathetic or redeemable, Blanc/any canon character
other than his partner. I'm happy to do Blanc/OC pre-canon, but none
of the existing characters.
For Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: I
haven't read the books, so I can't do anything that depends on
characters or dynamics that are just in the books. I don't want to
deal with Murdoch Foyle. Any non-canon pairing involving Jack,
Dot, or Hugh.
For The Old Guard: any pairing involving
Nile/another immortal, any pairing involving Nicky or Joe other than
Nicky/Joe, "someone else in the iron coffin" AUs
Notes: I can never guarantee how long my stories will be, but
this year I'm feeling something a little bit shorter. I don't tend to
write under 1.5k these days, but I don't want to promise anything!
For trans interpretation of canon characters, I prefer to write
canonical cis women as trans women or nonbinary people rather than
trans men, and same with canonical cis men as trans men or enbies
rather than trans women. However, I am willing to talk if you have a
specific request.
I will write disruptor-centric fics for Glass
Onion and Booker-centric fics for The Old Guard, so I'm not putting it
above. However, I will admit that those aren't my favorite things, so
if that's what you really want, I might not be the best author for
you.
But generally please feel free to reach out and ask if what
you're thinking about is something I can do! I really like talking
about fics and making sure that you're getting what you want!
Special Interests: Canonically trans or nonbinary characters,
Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters, Ambiguous
endings
