Open About
Name:labingi
Birthdate:Jun 15
Location:United States
Open Mini Bio
I am a science fiction & fantasy writer, fan fic writer, fan, casual literary critic, and (economic) degrowther. In all aspects of my life, work, and fandom, I'm interested in deep, difficult conversations. In literary terms, I want to write and read the dialogic: where each character speaks with their own voice from their own "center." In real-life terms, I want to recognize the complexity of our multivocal, pluriversal world.

This is mainly my fandom/personal blog, with small forays into my professional writing life and degrowth activism. More personal entries are access list locked. I am pretty liberal about granting access to people on Dreamwidth. This blog crossposts to LiveJournal, but I am no longer active there; please contact me here.

For more writing-community-related stuff, I am on BlueSky at arwenspicer@bsky.social.

For my fan fic see An Archive of Our Own under the name "labingi."

Blanket fic disclaimer: I do not own, want to own, or claim to own any copyright rights to anything that I did not originate. I won't sue anyone over any of it, and I won't profit either. I do firmly believe I have a moral right to make stories based on preexisting stories; that need defines 99% of human narrative output and to say we shouldn't do it is like saying we shouldn't learn to speak because someone else has already used words before us.

My website is ArwenSpicer.com. It talks about my original social science fiction, fantasy, and smattering of non-fiction.
