Skud was a Australian fan active online since 2000s, under many names. They wrote and made vids mostly in Age of Sail fandoms, especially Horatio Hornblower, though they sometimes wandered backward into the Elizabethan era.
After the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film came out, Skud also produced some meta, fic, and vids for Holmes fandom and became a moderator for the queering_holmes Dreamwidth Community.
Skud was also a well-known open source and, more generally, open culture advocate. They were involved with the Geek Feminism blog and wiki, and the My Name Is Me campaign, among other fabulous things.
In 2010 he migrated from the profile damned_colonial – has no more entry – to skud which was later removed by Dreamwidth around 2016. [3] They are no longer active on the internet under this name.
