Hello there ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Sue and I've been a Kurt fan since 1980.
I've been lurking on the other board for a few months now.
I'm 38 years old (no, you may
not call me grandma) very happily single with one adorable 18 year old cat and live in Cheshire, England.
I work as a receptionist and also run a business as an artist and craftswoman, working mostly on wood -

I'm mostly a lit sf fan, I run and attend sf cons in the UK, I'm going to be fan guest at Minicon in Minnesota next year and I'm going to Worldcon in San Jose as I am a Hugo nominee - any excuse for a party!
I started to read the Xmen in the early eighties, stopped when Chrissy left and just started picking up the Xmen again late last year.
Kurt has always been my favourite (to the point where two of my friends have done NC costumes in masquerades for me - and have discovered just how fast I
can run when given incentive.
I've met Chris Clairmont on lots of occasions (we even swap cards at xmas) so I don't appreciate personal attacks on him - though his writing is not as sharp as it was, I can see that. As a person he is a sweetheart.
Of course, hitting him over the head with the odd bit of bratworst may be occasionaly justified...
I'm not currently getting any other comics apart from A Distant Soil by Colleen Doran and Strangers in Paradise; but I'm sure I will start picking up more - I have boxes of them from the 80's upstairs, I love comics like Mage, Sandman, V, Watchmen, Omaha and Love & Rockets.
I also like bishonen-ai, (pretty boy anime from Japan) cats, foxes, real ale, red wine, canal boating, medieval costuming, English Civil War re-enacting, sf fanzine publishing.
I don't watch much TV but I'm on the computer way, way too much.
And that is proberbly too much info about me!
I haven't got an icon yet as I don't have a scanner and want to draw one, I will mug one of my computer goober friends to scan one at some point, real soon now.
Anyway, look forward to getting to know you all better.
And you must excuse my spelling, which can be, ahem, creative at times!
