Ylanne

I'm a geeky asian disabled queer, policy wonk, writer, and activist/organizer. In roleplay, I like subverting the kinds of characters and stories thought of as "normal" or "default" by developing compelling non-normative characters in complex collaborative fiction. I like heavy collaboration on plot and character arcs with all parties involved and dislike competitive attitudes. I prefer modern/realistic settings steeped in socio-political and historical context as well as darker, often grittier, storylines that emphasize the impact of both individual choices and external power systems on characters' relationships with each other. I have completed several novels and have a few in progress. RP-wise, I created the first Terran National Government in the original Multiverse, which was exported to the Omniverse, and am still very proud of that work.

I used to work for a national disability rights organization doing public policy work. Now I'm chairperson of an independent state government agency. I'm a public speaker on violence against disabled people, queer/trans/PoC/disability intersections, and neurodiversity movement. I also teach creative writing/character development for middle/high school students, and am adjunct faculty at a university.
