About this user

What's up?

• Aug. 10/23: Began another WikiProject Women in Red Alphabet Run in July.
• Jan 18, 2023: I have only been editing sporadically since the end of September, but I have been faithfully participating in the WikiProject Women in Red Alphabet Run (July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, and Jun.)
• Sept 29, 2022: It's been a wiki of a summer but the fall looks like it's going in another direction. I will be back when I can.
  
• June 2022: After a very long hiatus, I seem to be back. That's good, right?

Interests:

British literature of the Restoration and 18thc; women's writing; print culture; street literature; speculative fiction. I am on a roll with women writers of the long 18thc, and I'm discovering my inner WikiFairy. And, I have become addicted to LISTS.
