enkelien@gmail.com BioQuick summary of me -- 23 years old, graduated in '06 with a degree in Japanese. Currently living in Tokyo, teaching ESLz to pay the billz and doing any number of unproductive things in my off hours.
I used to be a translator for DramaQueen, a Houston-based publishing company that licenses yaoi (for the uninitiated, that's "Japanese gay porn") until it went under. I also have a webpage with reviews of the numerous non-Japanese gay books I've read, provisionally titled The Gay Fiction Booklist That Doesn't Suck.
I blog about gay fiction -- reading it, writing it, and translating it, with varying degrees of enthusiasm -- and my adventures in Japan. Also the Trannie Thing, as I dub it, which is the reason why this journal isn't friends-locked. There's the occasional unfunny post about things in this world that get me down, but in general though, when life stops being funny is when I stop blogging it.
