Recbox for Shadaras
Username: Shadaras
Preferred Genres: Scifi and Fantasy (I like all subgenres within them!). I've been reading a lot of cnovels lately, too; mostly unlimited flow and things that care more about plot than romance.
DNW Genres:I was trying to think of genres I'd DNW and kept coming up with exceptions, so I'm not gonna DNW any genres at all. Sitcoms
Preferred Media Types: Books! I am happy to have recs for visual stuff too but I tend to read faster than I consume any other form of media.
DNW Media Types: Youtube. Audio-only content (if it has transcripts, then feel free to rec it).
General Likes: Queer stuff (especially polyam, bi, aro, and ace! I like both f/f and m/m.), competence porn, politics, characters being clever, military stuff (war and strategy and tactics), worldbuilding, philosophy, religion (especially when it's not Christian/Christian-expy), linguistics/fun things with language, anthropology, science!, plotty stories, gen shenanigans/team as family/found family, genre bending/blending, mysteries/casefic, romance so long as it's not the only plot
General DNWs: Anything to do with Nazis
Fandom Preferences: No preferences. (like, 90% of time I know nothing about the fandoms for media I consume?)
Requests for Content Warnings: Rape, transphobia, blood magic, extensive descriptions of self-harm or suicidal ideation
Examples of Media Enjoyed: Star Wars (movies, cartoons, legends EU, new EU, video games...), Modao Zushi (I like all the adaptations too), everything Max Gladstone has written (Ruin of Angels and Empress of Forever are special highlights), Quanzhi Gaoshou/The King's Avatar (Hudie Lan; I like the novel better than the adaptations), Tamora Pierce's works (Protector of the Small and Emelan especially), Nirvana in Fire (TV), Friends at the Table (Podcast), The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water (Zen Cho), anything Neon Yang has written (originally published under J. Y. Yang), The Goblin Emperor (Katherine Addison), Harrow the Ninth (Tamsyn Muir), The Coldfire Trilogy (C. S. Friedman), Always Coming Home (Ursula K. Le Guin), Atomic Blonde (movie), The Old Guard (movie), Battlestar Galactica (2003), The Expanse (TV), The Vorkosigan Saga (Lois McMaster Bujold)
[if you want more ideas of what I've consumed and like, look at the stuff I've written fic for at![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)

Examples of Media to Avoid: so I understand why this section is here but also I have no idea what to say about it because media that I don't like just kind of bounces out of my head because it just wasn't for me?
Streaming Services I Can Access: Paid: Netflix, VRV. Free: Anything that streams to the USA.
Languages I'm Comfortable With: English (including English subtitles and English translations)

Delany is one of those authors who I consistently hear about but haven't tried picking up; this rec definitely makes me more into trying him!
Thanks! :D
