A Bit About Me
I've loved science fiction and fantasy long before it became popular, and anime just "fit" with those interests. So while my newfound hobby simmered, I stayed involved with the X-Files fandom until the end of its prime-time run in 2002. That's when my interest in anime re-ignited and I discovered that online anime websites had proliferated and I could now watch all the anime I desired. I don't claim to be an avid viewer, but I have my favorites and have written well-received fanfiction under different pseuds in several fandoms for over twenty years. My luxartisan stories are best read on Archive of our Own (links below). My account on Tumblr (luxartisan.tumblr.com) is no longer active, but remains available for viewing because my awesome followers insisted. Besides lurking and sometimes participating at CC, I'm an Admin/Bureaucrat for the ''[http://Free! Free!]'', Psycho-Pass and Ouran High School Host Club wikis, and have contributed to several anime topics on Wikipedia as Ouranista.

What else can I say? The Meyers-Briggs personality inventory says I'm INFJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging), which means I like my solitude but deal with people in a non-judgmental way while following my instincts (which are usually on target). I'm insightful about people's motives and while I tend to base my opinions on emotion rather than logic, I make rational decisions. This type represents only 2% of the population and we're called The Counselors. It's apt and what I did professionally for decades, but I retired early in favor of less money/more enjoyment of Life. Gr8 choice!

Peace out.

My favorite wikis
FREE! (Admin/Bureaucrat) -- Debut: 2013 / A sports anime that focuses on friendship and dedication to one's dreams. From Kyoto Animation and Animation Do, every piece of media put forth for this franchise is beautifully rendered with quality in all areas of production. It has become a mainstay in the Kyoani catalog and consistently ranks high in polls taken among anime fans. A new and likely final film remains in production with an unspecified release date following the tragic arson attack on Building One in 2019 that destroyed artwork and claimed the lives of Kyoto Animation personnel, including lead animator Futoshi Nishiya.

OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB (Admin/Bureaucrat) -- Debut: 2006 / A classic comedy anime that remains funny and fresh nearly two decades after it first aired. The franchise uses the concept of a reverse harem to explore issues of gender and gender-roles with a scathing, but humorous, twist. Fans have long pleaded for continued projects beyond the existing manga, anime, dorama and visual novel, but mangaka Bisco Hatori recently stated in 2019 that it would take a "perfect storm" of talent for her to green light such an undertaking. One can only hope.
