Bullet points are easier, and also a terrible byproduct of years of university. So there's that.

I started reading fanfictions both in Italian and in English when I was a wee girl, with a dictionary first, and then without; I never really stopped.

I like to dip my toes into many different fandoms, from cartoons, to movies, to books (Harry Potter generation present and accounted for!), to anime and manga and also to mythology (Bless my mum who used to read me the Iliad to bed instead of fairytales, but that must be because she used to be an archeologist...which reminds me that if you ever, by chance, come to Rome go visit all the museums here, there's always some Exhibition going on)

I'm also one of those strange multishipping creatures that lurk practically everywhere nowadays... I usually become terribly fond of a particular character (that more often than not is female) though usually I have only one OTP per fandom.

I don't have ships, I have a naval fleet.

Fandom Policing makes me want to barf, even if it has become so very popular to harass other people shipping something that's deemed 'problematic' for whatever reason (usually dumb ones). Man, I wanna go back to the early 2000s when things you didn't like where summarily dismissed with a 'it sux' rather than a 10 page essay on why you are a monstrous monster for shipping whatever ship.

So, don't be that person. Don't. And if you meet someone who ships something that makes you green around the gills cork the internet window, uncork a bottle of wine, preferably red, preferably Italian, prepare yourselves an aperitivo and go watch or read something you enjoy.

I'm also a firm believer that anything (even crossovers), no matter how cliché they could seem can become something wonderful if well written, with a good grammar and a solid and reasoned base.

I realized I could continue for hours, and maybe I'll do that, sooner or later...probably later (hopefully never?)
