Snowflake Challenge
As I sorta accidentally volunteered to help the mods, I thought I'd better try to do the challenge this year, perhaps get a little further on than before.
In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I'm Gill, mid-60s, living in the English Midlands in a small town with a big castle. I used to teach English and drama, but after some MH issues I left teaching in 2011 and since then have been a serial student, doing MAs at our nearest universities, Warwick (English) and Birmingham (Shakespeare and Theatre at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon.) As a result I am an even bigger Shakespeare and Early Modern theatre fangirl than ever. I don't as yet write in the fandom, though, apart from academic essays, because treading on the turf of the Greatest Ever Writer seems a bit cheeky. I've been involved in a Zoom reading group of plays from that period since June, and it's been a real support in these strange times.
I do write in the BtVS/AtS universe, with an emphasis on Spuffy. You can find most of my fics here on DW/LJ, on Elysian Fields and AO3. I'm mildly fannish about a whole range of other shows: Doctor Who (I saw the first episode in 1963), Staged, Green Wing, Good Omens, and lots of books. I am a Literature Nerd.
I have two married daughters, one of whom has a daughter and a son. I miss them terribly in this bizarre plague time when even meeting your own family is dangerous. I am lucky to have been married to my Dave for 42 years and counting.
