This journal is a combination of locked & public. Fic and fandom entries are public; the personal stuff is flocked.

What is Aragorn-a-day, you ask? I post a screen cap of Viggo's version of Aragorn each day, and we all ooh and ah and, as the motto at the Viggo-works website says, do some dignified drooling over them. :) One important note: because this journal doesn't have a content-warning, and I don't ever want it to have a content-warning, and because I do have some friends that are teens, please keep comments and drooling to PG/PG-13 levels!
Aragorn-a-Day sadly is no more, or at least the photos for those posts are no more. I used Photobucket for years, but they sold out to what I consider to be a scam outfit and I'm in the process of deleting all photos from that account. So there are a lot of broken posts now, including personal ones with travel photos, garden photos, etc. My apologies if you scroll back through the imported posts from my LJ and find only a bunch of broken Photobucket links. I categorically refuse to pay for their services to re-establish the links. I don't trust them with my credit card or personal info.

For many years, I wrote LOTR fanfiction, then moved into the Captain America fandom and have written several stories centered on Bucky Barnes, plus a handful centering on Steve Rogers. I've also returned to one of my first fandoms, the old Emergency! show from the 1970s. I've loved Johnny Gage since I was a kid. I write much slower these days than I used to and hope to continue writing if the muse directs.

At any rate, I post my fic both here and at:

Other than that... I like gardening, cooking, photography, being a homebody. This LJ is mostly ramblings about my personal life these days and less about fandom. Feel free to friend, unless you're MAGAt, then kindly show yourself the door and stay home next voting cycle.

Cheers!
