Introduction Post

I think we've been spending enough time together (and for me, it's been very enjoyable time) that we should get to know each other a bit more. So here's a post for that purpose. Some things I'd love to know about you, my fellow fen, are:

-Your name and a little about yourself. (Age, job, where you live, anything about you that you consider important)

-How you got here. (History of the path you took to finding this game, not just how you heard about it but what made you care enough to actually check it out. And what made you interested enough to want to stay and spend hours and hours discussing it)

ETA: I had more, but after writing my own answers I realized that this was plenty to start with.

I have put my own answers to the questions in a comment. I really look forward to seeing what everyone has to say.

I go by Jenett pretty much everywhere except work these days. I'm 33, and live in Minneapolis in a tiny little house with a cat, a folk harp, and a bunch of books.

I'm a librarian at a private high school in the Twin Cities (I've been a paraprofessional there since 2000, finished my MLIS in 2007, wrangled some new duties to go with the degree, and now my boss - the MLIS requiring position - has taken a new job, so I'm sliding into his position in January for spring semester, and will be applying to keep it. (Said school believes in, shall we say, a far more diligent hiring process than Hogwarts appears to.) I am looking forward to Alternity keeping me somewhat sane in the process - it's going to be a busy spring for me.

I found the game through pegkerr and was delighted: I'd heard great things about (but hadn't followed) Nocturne Alley. I'm particularly taken by the meta-analysis options here (for similar reasons that I like Shadow Unit

How do you pronounce your name? My mom's name is Jeanette and she is very fussy about how it is said.

[jenett]

JEN-ett (like Janet, but with Jen as the first syllable instead of Jan).

That said, people regularly mispell and mispronounce it, and I'm mostly resigned to that.

Hello, fellow librarian! A private high school library sounds like a nice working situation. :)
