Thank you for the kind words! And the links! And your offer! (How many exclamation marks per paragraph are okay round here?)

Heh, someone asking about my name, how cool... apostata is a part of who I am, and it also sounds cool (at least I like to think so). It's not there to upset anybody, rather an affirmation to myself and others that people like this exist and don't eat kittens for breakfast (or any other meal). I've used stella as part of my name since around 2005. It kind of felt appropriate for entirely unshiny reasons and has stuck with me since then.

Fandoms- for familiarity, I'd stick to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis (despite the obvious conflict, I still enjoy). For interest, there are a lot more I'd like to get into or expand my knowledge. I probably could get around Pern, though here as with most other source materials I'm pretty much at sea with names and terms. Translation issues, basically... with English at least, I've got a chance to read the originals, but I'm not sure what my family is going to say if I need yet another room full of books we already "have". Unfortunately, a lot of translations way into the nineties were done with... poetic license?

Oh, yeah, I'm female. Human, probably. Weird, certainly.
