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.

Cheers!
