Bio

Impractical Beekeeping is a person.

I've got several strange hobbies (including amateur mycology, a top bar bee hive, and a reasonably dangerous sport) but I currently work as an artist and costumer. I read a great deal, and occasionally write things.

If you like what I do, feel free to let me know. If you don't like what I do, feel free to let me know.

I am always deeply grateful for the reviews and alerts I receive. Thanks for reading my things!

If you review something of mine, I will check out your work. I have encountered some magnificent stories that way.

Things you can expect from my work:

An almost pathological obsession with language

Oxford commas and semicolons

Science

Research. I am an information junkie. Only a small percentage of my research is visible in the final product, but I am compelled to do it, nonetheless.

Paradigm subversion (either flipping literary canon or deliberately violating common fanon memes).

Hit-or-miss summaries (I have no idea what compels you to read my things. Feel free to explain.)

Italic abuse (I know they're the refuge of the melodramatic, but I don't care)

My sense of humour can be classified as a desiccant.

I have a sporadically updated account at http://impracticalbeekeeper.tumblr.com/. There you can find my completed fiction (with proper-sized book covers), random artwork, and photographs of microbes. Or dead things.

I have an account on Fanfiction.net. It is similarly covered in bees.

Impractical Key Beeping is my UMQRA account. In other words, nothing you find there is meaningful; I'm just fucking around.
