Snowflake Challenge #1: Introduce Yourself

[ermingarden]

In your own space, introduce yourself!

I keep my profile up to date, but it's pretty basic, so I'll say a bit more here.

Hi! I'm Ermingarde (she/her pronouns, please). I'm in my early twenties and in my first year of law school. I studied Classics in undergrad and my research focused mainly on medieval Latin literature; I'm always happy to talk about any of those topics. I love to read, mostly sci-fi and fantasy (although I've been on a nonfiction/sociology kick recently). I enjoy baking and am learning to crochet. I've sung in choirs since I was nine and have been desperately missing it this year!

I read a lot more fic than I write, but one of my goals for 2021 is to post more - we'll see how that goes. My main fandoms are Star Wars and Tolkien's Legendarium. Star Wars was my first fannish obsession, and you never forget your first love...I've been captivated by the Galaxy Far, Far Away since I read Showdown at Centerpoint almost fifteen years ago. The Lord of the Rings stole my heart when I was in high school, and the Silmarillion made its way in a couple of years later. I read (and very occasionally write) in other fandoms as well, including Earthsea, Rosemary and Thyme, Narnia, and, most recently, Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb Trilogy, but my interest and involvement in these waxes and wanes. I keep all my fics on AO3 here.

I'm always looking for new friends, so please say hello, especially if we have any interests in common! <3

I sung in choirs a lot in my secondary school days. I was going to try and join a local women's choir in 2020, but *waves vaguely*. I'm hoping I'll be able to try out for it later this year to join their 2021-2022 season.

I'll be reading Lord of the Rings for the first time this year!

Oh, good luck with the choir! Dearly hoping singing together will be an option soon. And you're in for SUCH a treat with LotR!
