Who's Fia?

Hi! My name is Fia! I'm 30 years old and come from the northern part of Sweden called Norrbotten.

I moved down to the southern part (Skåne) in 2008. I live in Malmö, which is 30 kilometers from the Danish capital Copenhagen. It takes about 20 minutes to travel over the Sound to Denmark with train.

I started this blog in 2008 while I was fairly new to Skåne and mostly read books since I didn't know anyone. Later on I reached out to the book blog- and sf-community asking if anyone would like to start a SF-book circle with me.

Best. Move. Ever.

I ended up meeting my best friend Frida, who's also my co-blogger 'Farraw'. And I got to meet Simon, Calle, and Frida R. I think Calle was the one who mentioned this big conference happening in Stockholm in juni 2011; Eurocon. So, we went, checked it out, absolutely loved it and was completely bitten by the fandom bug.

The next year I went to Kontrast, Swecon 2012, and after that me and Simon started Malmöfandom, which now is a fairly big group with regular pub meetings, writer circles and book circles. I'm still shocked to have been able to be apart of creating this Malmö-group. I just love how easy it is to make people come together nowadays. My big dream is to create a sf-conference here in Malmö. Hopefully we will be able to create some event soon.

When I'm not blogging, going to sf-conferences, reading, watching tv-series or playing board games, I'm working full time as a personal administrator.
