Greetings, Steemit! I'm here to fix the world's problems! (And post my fiction.)

Hello Steemers! (Steemlings? Steemengines? Steemships?) I'm so pleased to be here! Allow me to introduce myself...

I am Leslie Starr O'Hara. Known to most as Starr.

And here are 10 things about me that you may find interesting:

1. I'm a voluntaryist. Seems like there are quite a few of us here, already. Cheers!

2. I am a writer of fantastical fiction. I plan to publish some of my short stories on Steemit, as an experiment, under the tag "starrfiction".

3. I often feel as though I have to keep the two identities listed above separated, and that sucks. It's kind of complicated, but suffice it to say that in the science fiction and fantasy writers' community as of late, a weird brand of authoritarianism has proliferated (that is not recognized by its adherents as such.) In its effort to silence and/or censure some legitimate assholes in the field, the authoritarians have gone overboard, demanded political and intellectual conformity, and made things unwelcoming for those of us who don't fit into the majority. I'll probably publish a thing about this later on.

4. I'm the mother of a badass kid, whom we shall call Steve.

5. I also have a day job. It has to do with guns, but does not have to do with military or law enforcement. (So you can breathe a sigh of relief.) I think guns are pretty cool.

6. My cat is sleeping in a shoebox on my desk, even as I type.

7. Sometimes, I like to lie down on the ground and stare up at the night sky. When I do it long enough, I start to feel as if I'm falling out into the universe. It's like doing drugs, for people who can't deal with the aftereffects.

8. I want to travel everywhere and see everything. So far, in my first 32 years, I've been to most of the 50 states, Mexico, and Ecuador. Slow start, maybe, but I'LL NEVER SURRENDER!

9. I've never been religious, but I really love religious visual art.

10. I know how to fix the world's problems. Well, not all of them, but a lot. I'll be posting my ideas for solutions here on Steemit under the tag "starrfixestheworld". Then you can comment and tell me how wrong I am! ;)

And here's a picture of me, since there aren't currently unique avatars. As you can see, I am raising my eyebrow at you in a skeptical manner!
