I'm an artist, although I paint with words rather than a brush or tablet stylus. I'm a fan fiction writer.
I started writing fan fiction in July 2009 for the Penguins of Madagascar fandom. Since July 2016, I have been writing for the Zootopia fandom. Most of my PoM stories can be found only on FanFiction.net, where I am known as GrandOldPenguin, but a few are available here on DeviantArt. All my main Zootopia works, however, I publish here on DA as well as FanFiction.net and Archive of Our Own. I retired from writing PoM stories in June 2017.
Occasionally, I submit deviations other than literature, mostly photographs. The photos I have submitted have been both fandom related and general photography, some much better than others.
In addition to submitting my own content, I often view and comment on others' submissions, mostly Zootopia fan art.
No requests, please, and I do not offer commissions. I do not use Patreon, Ko-fi, or anything like them. Sorry, I do not commission art from others. (I have the money, I just choose not to do it. For further details, you can read my journal here.)
Other things to know about me: I'm from Connecticut in the United States. I'm a tricenarian (someone in their 30s). Politics is a passion of mine, and I'm a conservative Republican—I've never missed voting in any election or primary. I'm straight and single, but I'm committed to remaining single—romance exists in some of my fanfics, but I've never shipped myself with anyone. I've been a vegetarian since 1995—a real one (eggs and milk are fine, but no flesh of any kind). Pizza is my favorite food. When I watch professional sports, it's the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Pittsburgh Pirates (although I have been on an NFL and MLB hiatus since 2020). My hair and eyes are brown. I want to visit all 50 U.S. states and have so far set foot in 14 (CT, NY, MA, RI, NJ, PA, MD, VT, NH, DE, VA, ME, WV, OH) plus D.C. In 2012, I had the opportunity to touch an African penguin.
Hey uh, you do realize Zootopia is woke right?
That's an interpretation. I don't agree with it.
Anti-woke conservatives don't believe in "prey/predator" discrimination. We don't care what anyone looks like, just that they believe in good, moral things.
Thanks for the Fav!
