biography of a 40-something fangirl

i'm caroline (she/her/hers). when i entered online fandom spaces in earnest as an adult, i'd always gone by caroline regardless of handles, which was my bad. i should've used a fandom pseudonym from the get, but here i am with my government name, the front part of it at least. various usernames i've used have included avawatson, avawtsn, antaranya, and annacoleyouth. it seems i got a little stuck on the a-names.

i'm a fandom veteran from sherlock s2 days; maybe you're one of the ten listeners who've heard my voice on three patch podcast. but my earliest days in fandom were in middle school in the 1990s, where i first found sailor moon fanfic (in lime and lemon flavors) in txt files back on dial-up. i come by the neocities nostalgia honestly.

i sometimes produce art, vids, translations, + more as the adhd dictates/allows. if you're here, i'm going to assume you're 18+ and have enough sense to act like an adult and take care of yourself if you see something that offends you. there isn't currently anything deeply nsfw on this site, but i've been known to produce such things and may link to them here and there.

because we live in a fallen world, let me be clear on some basic decency things: i believe trans people deserve human rights, respect, and our full support. life is hard enough already. i believe people can ship, write, and love all the problematic things they want. ykinmkato. ship and let ship. don't like, don't read. tag your shit. believe women. trust science. get vaccinated. vote.

in real life, i am a mom to twins and a queer elder millennial in queens, new york. i'm an asian american third culture kid by way of china, indonesia, and tennessee.
