1''Somewhere in Seattle, a basement dweller taps away at a keyboard, drafting a novel. Her short brown hair is in disarray, and she's still wearing her pajamas, even though most people in her area are eating dinner. The baggy T-shirt has a hole in it, but it's on the shoulder, so it's okay.''

3Hello everyone. My name is Anya, and I am a writer who aspires to be a professional author. Hopefully, one day, I will have a creator page on this site. Currently, I'm working on my first novel, which itself is the first of a planned trilogy, because of course it is. In the meantime, I have a [[http://anyalogan.me/ blog]] and a [[https://twitter.com/SnarkbotAnya twitter]], where I mostly talk about writing but occasionally veer into other topics. May contain politics.

5A few tropes that describe me/my life/situations I'm often in:
6* BlindWithoutEm: Or at least not allowed to legally drive. I am quite nearsighted.
7* BoyishShortHair: I literally get the same haircut as my dad, except about a quarter-inch longer.
8* BrainyBrunette
9* BrilliantButLazy: one of my professors in college said that I had "gotten away with murder" because I was smart and could write well.
10* ButchLesbian: by self-identification.
11** BadassLesbian: I have a black belt in karate and my hobbies include fire dancing.
12* CannotSpitItOut: I'm usually pretty frank, but around girls I like, I tend to spontaneously morph into [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]].
13* CrazyCatLady: to a degree. I only have the one cat.
14* DeadpanSnarker: to the point that relatives who saw me go through my humorless phase often can't tell when I'm joking.
15* GrammarNazi: though I prefer the term "pilkunnussija," because it literally means "comma fucker," and that's hilarious.
16* InsufferableGenius: ItRunsInTheFamily.
17* KindHeartedCatLover: This one [[ItRunsInTheFamily runs in my family]] too.
18* LadyLooksLikeADude: if I wear baggy clothes.
19* LimitedWardrobe: not always the same outfit, but I don't own anything that isn't black or pajamas.
20* NightmareFetishist
21* NotWantingKidsIsWeird: I'm childfree and intend to stay that way. Some people don't respect this.
22* OneOfUs: If I ever get a creator page, I expect this troper page to be linked on it under this trope.
23* RidiculousProcrastinator: when off my meds.
24* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Downplayed, since not all of my speech or writing is like this, but I do have a tendency to use words like "approximately" or "ostentatious" in casual conversation.
25* StraightMan: I often play this role with my friends, despite being [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Irony a gay woman]].

27A few tropes that will be in my novel and its sequels:
28* AerithAndBob: Downplayed/Justified; actual names that appear in the series are coincidental. The main character's name, Andreva, is actually derived from a root in her own native language, and matches an actual medieval feminine variant of "Andrew" by coincidence. Her friend Cathrenna has a name that sounds like "Catherine," but would roughly translate to "Summery." The fact that they sound like actual names is similar to how [[RealityIsUnrealistic Naomi is both a Japanese name and a Hebrew name.]]
29* ConLang: I'm developing [[BeyondTheImpossible six original conlangs]] for the world, including [[ShownTheirWork a few with grammar based somewhat on Latin and other early Indo-European languages (though with generally Germanic/Finno-Ugric sound profiles), one agglutinative language that functions as the setting's equivalent of Basque by being a language isolate, and two root-and-pattern languages.]]
30* FunctionalMagic: Somewhere between rule magic and device magic.
31** MagicAIsMagicA: The rules of magic are rather strict, and known fairly well in-universe.
32** SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Development of magical formulae is rather scientific.
33* OurMagesAreDifferent: There isn't really a catch-all term for the modern magic user... but [[InsistentTerminology don't call them]] [[NotUsingTheZWord wizards]]. Calling a modern mage a wizard is roughly equivalent to a RealLife person calling a scientist an alchemist.
