Name:flyakate
Location:United States
"Inside? I'm a poet. Outside? Shake, bad guys, shake."
- Det. Ray Kowalski, Due South


Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats, "He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"

Item the First: Who is Flyakate?
Let me explain. No, that would take to long; let me sum up. Among other things, Flyakate is a 30-something who is once again a Californian, this time of the Northern variety, who teaches only minorly feral teenagers of the middle school subset. And still occasionally writes fanfic ;o)


Friends:
If you like what you see, feel free to friend me; most of my entries aren't locked unless they deal with RL things. Chances are I'll probably friend you back, but I only have so much time to read a friends list, so don't feel bad if I don't. Always feel free to say hi or leave a comment, as long as you play nicely with others ;o)


What Are the Habits of a Flyakate?
Currently (re)Reading: A Covert Affair: Julia Child and Paul Child in the OSS by Jennet Conant
Watching: Criminal Minds, NCIS, CSI: NY, Top Chef and Macgyver

Item the Fourth
There is no item the fourth. *smirkyface*


Item the Fic
I've written a growing handful of fanfics. They are helpfully, and perhaps obviously, tagged under fic: fanfic, as well as listed in one whole separated-by-fandom list here. A small number are also linked from specific community tables. The fics range in rating from gen (aww) to NC-17 (*shock!*) and are all marked as such. Enjoy and know that feedback is cherished and adored. I try really hard to thank you for it, too!
