This is a friends-only Journal. You must be over 18 (or 21, if applicable) to read it, as frequent adult content involving consenting and fictional, and sometimes kinky, characters is posted. If you are here to verify my age - yes, I am well over 18 myself.
Please comment on this post to be added. If your journal tells me nothing about yourself, or I have reason to believe we're not on the same wavelength, I won't be friending you back. Likewise, I won't friend you if something about your journal gives me the creeps, or if you make a text-messaging mockery of the English language. And it's only fair to warn you that I have a tendency to mercilessly deride most things modern; so if reality TV and emo bands are your thing, we're not likely to have much to chat about. But most importantly:
Homophobes, racists and other bigots need not apply!
If you're after reading my HP stories: Please go to my website and follow the instructions. I am virtually out of the fandom and no longer friend people who merely wish to read my HP writing. If you were here for HP and have been locked out, see here for details.
About my Icons: Unless credited otherwise in comments, they were made by me or are freely available. I'm happy to share the vast majority of my icons, except the very few which state in comments "DO NOT USE". Any others - please let me know if you want to use them - it's only polite. And flattering. And I won't say 'no'. Note also that I have an icon journal - oldworldcharms - for freely available, no credit icons.
