About Me

Every year I say I'm going to use DW more, but this year FER REALS!

I’m Fleet/FleetSparrow/Fleet Sparrow everywhere, but my name is Grayson.

I’m a huge Batfamily nerd and know a ridiculous amount of semi-useless trivia about them.  I am, quite literally, always thinking about the Batfamily.  It occupies, like, 98% of my brain.  I mean, just take a look at my fucking name.

I'm also hugely into Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (I've read everything except the final arc of the manga because I'm worried it'll make me sad; but I'm all about that Death-T shit).  I'm also a meme loving fuck, so don't ever be surprised if I randomly quote memes from ye olden times.  Also, MST3K is my absolute favorite show of all time.  Mike is my favorite (but I can't choose between Forrester/Frank and Pearl/Brain Guy/Bobo for my fav Mads).  I really, really dislike the new seasons, tho, whoops.

I write mostly fanfic on AO3 under the name FleetSparrow, and focus mainly on DC comics (and YGO, and a whole mess of other random fandoms).  I’ve got some original stories up that I swear aren’t all porn (this is a lie; it's always porn).  I’m very much into writing questionable things.

I’m trans masc/genderless being.

I have a Substack, and a... Buttondown??? and I might actually move the Substack to the Buttondown newsletter (maybe, probably, hopefully this year) and it's called Fleet's Fancies, but I haven't posted much.  We'll see what happens.

Transformative Works Policy:  Go ham, my friends.  You have my permission to translate, remix, write sequels to, expand on, write fanfic for, and generally play around with any of my fanfics.  All I ask is that you let me know you're doing it and where I can read it!!

Current Passion:  Right now, I'm living at the intersection of magic and socialism, and working on deepening my study in both of those.

Where to Find Me:  Mostly hiding out on Discord, tbh.  But I'm also on Tumblr, Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky (all as FleetSparrow).

Master List:  Everything I do is on AO3, but one of these days I'm going to add it to another site (or make my own???) to host, too.  Just in case.

New for 2025:

Last year (2024) was such a genuinely batshit rollercoaster of a year, most of it surprisingly positive for me.  However, if I thought I couldn't really foresee what my future might look like before 2024, I definitely can't do it now.  That said, I think it really solidified for me that doing fic exchanges or pinch hits or anything with an actual factual due date is not currently healthy for me.  Which is a lot of backstory to say that I really don't know what I'll be writing this year or when I might post any of it.  I'd like to get back into some of my unfinished longfics.  I'd like to do Drawlloween again this year.  I'd also really like to just write for the fun of it.  We'll see how it goes!

I like talking to people and getting to know others, which is a very generic thing to say, but it’s true.  I also just love to talk, so if you have any questions about me, feel free to ask them.
