I love love looove playing tabletop rpgs. And all kinds of games. And science fiction. And fantasy. And reading. I'm a geek.

I am in my thirties and share my flat with a black cat who is somewhat anti-social - when I got her from the shelter they literally warned me "she hates other animals; and humans".

I am an avid herbal (+fruity) tea drinker (for tea swaps there's more info below). I do not consume caffeine - even as teas.

I'm a feminist, pansexual, and agnostic.

I came back to swap-bot March 2025 after about 1.5 years to deserved "1" ratings. I left very suddenly in 2023 because I had a severe accident and got a life-changing diagnosis soon afterwards - spending almost 2 years trying to recover and a lot of time in hospitals, care, and physical rehab.

I tried my best to make up for all the swaps, also contacting people who hadn't rated or contacted me for swaps because I wanted to send out swaps to everyone who didn't receive what I owed them.

As of 04/2025 I still have 3 "1" ratings from @JanHardt and @lawchick - both have not been online since before I came back to swap-bot. My messages to them are sitting in their inboxes. I sent both of them their swaps to their addresses from 2023 in 04/2025 - I hope they arrive! If they come back and have moved, I'd love to send it to a possible new address, too!

The 4 "3" ratings are for swaps from 2023 which I made up for in full, but very late.

I have 1 swap from 2023 on my dashboard because the recipient has not been online ( @Tynkerbelle ) to read and respond to my message asking for their address to finally send them the swap I owe them. If they ever reply, I'll send it to them asap! (I contacted the hosts of the unresolved "1" rating as well as the unsent one, too. For the unsent one the host has not responded to my requests for the address.)

• Things with a purpose
• Things with more than one purpose that can fulfill all their purposes well
• Good Excel sheets
• Reading
• Cats
• Everything ATC related

➤ Letters & Notes

• I enjoy reading random tidbits of information. The thing that just pops into your head. "Huh"-moments.
• Recycled stationery (NOT trash - either stationery made of recycled materials or pages which might have had another purpose once but are beautiful to look at, eg: calendar pages, wrapping paper)
• handmade cards and notes - I will never downrate for receiving handmade even if the swap says store-bought

➤ Tea

• fruits and herbs
• no caffeine [green/black/white..]
• during the warmer months I drink the leaves from plants I grow on my balcony

➤ Reading

• Science fiction and fantasy (and romance)
• I don't like bad endings. I need my endings happy or at least satisfactory. Therefore I tend to read the last few sentences before I read a book.
• My absolute guilty pleasure books are Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling/Trinity books.
• I have phases during which I binge webtoons and/or fanfiction (... DM/HP Auror Partners)

➤ Art

• Landscapes
• Flora & fauna
• Fantasy
• Art nouveau
• Colorful portraits
• Rain
• Joy > melancholy
• Weather phenomenon
• Space phenomena

≠ I don't want to put down any dislikes - because if it's important to you or you like it then I'd love to learn about it.

I enjoy painting and started making cards and postcards after joining swaps here - and I love it!

I am now apparently addicted to ATCs. Thank you, dear swap-bot community, for bringing this joy into my life! (May 2023 update)

I will not downrate for handcrafted cards / notecards even if the swap specifies store-bought! :)

I give hearts for effort, not extras
