The Rainbow Coven (LGBTQA etc)

Hello my darling rainbow-coloured dearests, this is a safe haven for all you gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, trans*, poly, pan, questioning, fabulous wonderful creatures (straight allies are more than welcome!) to hang out, chat, and help each other through the turmoil that is NaNoWriMo 2011.

Let the games begin!

I'm in! Hey Belles!

MAY THE ODDS BE IN OUR FAVOUR THIS NANO.

Oh my god, hello. This is exciting and new, isn't it?

Helloooo. God I love my timezone right now; it's still a perfectly sane hour where I can stare at the new forums as long as I want.

HERP DERP I POSTED MY INTRO JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE FORUM WIPE. I AM LE SMART.

Fortunately I copypasta'd it to a word document, because my psychic powers told me to:


I'm Crow, 19, female pronouns, gay as a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide, currently locked in a state of hokey-pokey with the closet (you put your right foot in, you take your right foot out...) I'm a college freshman and I live in a designated queer dorm and I LOVE IT.

I am a fandom-y person so I must ask: anyone here into Fullmetal Alchemist or No. 6? FMA is my forever fandom and No. 6 is my most recent obsession. By some stroke of luck most of my roommates are already FMA fans (SCORE) and I'm currently attempting to inflict No. 6 on them, because extremely heterosexual (so very hetero) slow-dance scenes between two boys are always relevant, and I want to make them all terrified of bees.

Also, anyone else have a tumblr? I'm Crowmunculus and I post mostly fandom BS and gay things :B

MY PICTURES ARE NOT LOADING RIGHT. -wallbash- WHYYYYY.

Oh well, time to calm down and try to fix things up better.

Reintroductions! Lec - cismale, 16, queer/gay. Hobbies include reading, writing, drawing, comics, anime and manga. Nice ta meet'cha.

I love how it's still somewhat early.

Since we have a spiffy new thread, I guess we're doing introductions again~ My irl name is Jenna, I'll go by anything from just J to Waffle, whatever works. I'm a freshman in high school, proud member of our GSA and I'm always questioning my sexuality and gender identity, but for now I've settled on pan. Feminine pronouns would be fine for now~


Also I now have the urge to go reread FMA.

I suppose I should (as creator of the thread) introduce myself to the newcomers:

Isabelle/moth/Belle (whichever is easiest for you guys), 17, cisgendered queer female, Australian, Lord of the Rings fanatic, tea-drinker (as well as imbiber of more, shall we say, interesting beverages). I'm more than a little violent and expect huge feminist rants.

Now I do believe the magic words of 'game' 'of' 'thrones' was mentioned just before the forum wipe. I WANNA RAVE ABOUT IT SO MUCH IT'S BRILLIANT

I love quick reply. :D

I'm Laura, lesbian, uh, yeah. :P Obviously a teen, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I think I have a date on Friday. :D

I'm Jack :3 I show up every year for November and bits of October, and then I vanish.

I'm a little old for this forum at 18, but being as I am on break from college until January, I don't fit with the uni students. Teens it is.

I'm a gay/bisexual transman and if given the opportunity I will talk your ear off about history.

Also, being as it's Coming Out Day, I'm going to come out to my mom. And oh god I'm nervous.

Ah, yes. Introductions.

I'm August. 19, male, bi & trans. I'm all full-time and stealth and crap despite the fact that I'm not sure if my family, who lives in a different country, even knows. Christmas with them might be a bit awkward! I don't know if I'll stick around here for Nano because I'll be 20 by then (dear god, how) but nothing is currently happening in that forum.

I'm also a uni student, a terrible spendthrift, really into travel, hiking, languages, politics, skiing, and billions more things, except for fandoms. I don't think my brain is cut out for them. I have a plot which, while completely fictional and absurd, still has enough similarities to real life that I can just sit back and let my friends unknowingly do the research for me (eg, practical issues with getting pieces of furniture onto various roofs, etc). I can't decide between first and third person.

Hi.

Hey, it's Laura :) I posted exactly one time on the old thread the day before the wipe. Go me!

Anyway, I'm a straight ally. I'm 18 and I'm a freshmen in college. At least for now, my major is nursing. I'm planning on a high fantasy with elements of satire because I'm a cynic like that. Last year was the first time I attempted NaNo, and I failed miserably because I was just winging it... Not this year, though. My region's ML goes to my school, so he can kick my ass if I get lazy like I did last time. 8D

Side note, completely unrelated to this thread: Zachary Levi is my hero. I'm watching Chuck right now... Every time I start a new episode, I wonder what real CIA agents think of that show.

Hi, I'm Amanda, 19, lesbian.

I don't like going into detail when introducing myself but I will say that I'm an avid reader and a fandom- and musical-lover. And in all honesty it's my first time ever participating in the LGBT threads here on the forums--appropriate for National Coming Out Day, I guess? It's nice to meet everyone here.

Quick introductions? Okay, got this.

Name's Ashton, go by Ash, Appingo, Appi, etc. 18, female, USA citizen that's asexual biromantic who's family usually thinks I'm throwing the words around just to show off my vocabulary. Start college in January as a Linguistics major, have absolutely no idea what I'm getting myself into. Besides languages/writing/reading, I like history a fair bit. Spent the entirety of September backpacking in the UK for cultural experiences and writing research, with some visiting friends on the side.

This year's NaNo is a novel idea I've been working on for awhile that's been several different reincarnations, but I think I've finally settled on something. Without school in the way, I figured it's about time I get it all down on paper and just say 'screw it' to my inner editor. I'm not aiming for 50k ('cause I know it'll go over), I'm aiming for complete first draft (god why...).

ooh hello! I'm Alice, college student and queer. I remember this place from last year when all I did was gather the courage to post once and then disappear, it's nice to be here now that I've figured myself out substantially more. I like Doctor Who and all those shows that often go with it - Torchwood (of course), Supernatural, Sherlock, etc. - as well as Suits, Hawaii Five-0, anime, webcomics, and k-pop. I like languages and I want to go to a lot of different places in the future. I am v friendly and it's nice to meet you all!

*pokes head in thread*
Hi I'm Morgan (or Momo, Himeko, Berry-Kitsune, chances are I'll response to pretty much anything) I'm 17 years old and I'm a lesbian. Right now trying to survive senior year of high school and apply to college. Besides writing I like cosplaying, dancing, playing piano, watching Korean dramas and doing origami.

This years NaNo if I can manage to do it is a very special story to me. I've been wanting to write it for the past two years and I'm hoping it will be able to get done, or at least the first draft.

Hi, I'm Jess. I'm 14, bi, and I fangirl people. I'd say more but it's 2 am and I have school tomorrow, so. :P Hi!

Also - Crow, dearest, I also have a tumblr - vagin-dente.tumblr.com is mine. Just fyi ^.^

Ugh, annoyed. Topic of gay marriage came up at dinner. NONE of my family support it and ALL think that being gay is a choice.

It's like, shoot me now. Please.

This thread always moves so fast, but since it's still somewhat reasonable I'm gonna jump in ^^

Bramble/Jays (or whatever you want to call me), 16, female, confused (probably bi).

Also on Tumblr as bramblepath.
