They have written very many words of fanfiction, most particularly for the shows Harsh Realm and The Walking Dead, as well as the Dishonored game series. These can be read on Archive of Our Own, under the pseudonym "dynamicsymmetry".
Sunny holds a PhD in sociology from the University of Maryland-College Park, and their doctoral dissertation focused on the philosophy of physical space and systematized dehumanization in the context of three specific Holocaust death camps. It’s always interesting when this comes up at social occasions.
