Okay, so.
I am Gancena. I'm 31 years old (birthday December 8th). I love hyperanalyzing things I like, even if I'm not very good at it. Therefore, TV Tropes was a dream come true.
I love writing Fan Fic. I've been posting to Fanfiction.net
for years, where I am also Gancena, and recently crossposting on AO3. I also tend to have a private work or two going on between close friends (and they're usually only private because they technically contain spoilers for fic I'm still working on. Whoops).
...Not much else to say that won't be mentioned in tropes.

- Captain Obvious: Sometimes without thinking.
- Clap Your Hands If You Believe: My ideal modus operandi.

- Dethroning Moment of Suck: When I was fourteen, I wrote a smutfic and shared it with random kids at school.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life
- Ditzy Genius: High INT, low WIS.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": You'd be hard-pressed to find someone on the Internet who doesn't know me as Gancena. Even people in real life have been surprised to realize Gancena isn't my birth name.
- Dreaming of Things to Come: I may not have seen certain pages of Cuanta Vida coming, but my subconscious sure did.

- For a short time in November 2011, I outright lost faith in friendship. I got better.
- I Just Want to Be Badass!
- I Just Want to Be Loved.
- I Just Want to Be Special...
- Just Ignore It: My justification for not keeping up with news. If I don't worry much about something, it'll go well or get better. I believe this is best accomplished by thinking about what I actually want.
- Lawful Good: Mostly because I was raised that way.

- Stopped Caring: Not sure to what extent, but I know I have.
- Sweet Tooth
- Tender Tears: For fictional characters and events. Frequently.
- The Reveal: I am autistic.
