Fannish House-keeping

[swirlsofpurple]

I’m relatively new to Dreamwidth and looking forward to taking part in the fun!

I have to admit though, that this first prompt left me feeling a little excited and a little melancholy. Because I’ve done the friending memes and the ‘about me’s’ and the masterlists, for years and years, I’ve poured my heart and soul into a community that’s now mostly gone. And I get that Dreamwidth is a fresh start, supposed to be a new and exciting one. But I can’t help but feel like an old-timer, staring up at a hill I once ran up, and it feels too unwieldy, too treacherous a path to start again from scratch.

I’m here, because I hope I can navigate the path anyway, and hopefully this will lead to some precious treasure like (or maybe unlike) before.

 

1)        Friending

Making friends is one of the things we’re here for isn’t it? I’m happy for people to friend and will usually friend back. Though I do tend to be a lurker; I don’t often post. And when I do it’s usually fanfic.

2)       Interests

I’ve been in various fandoms over the last seventeen years. My current obsessions are Brooklyn 99 and the MCU. (Good Omens is also definitely creeping up there). I like to write both fanfic and original fiction. Here’s a list of my favourite things: Youtubers- Vlogbrothers and screen junkies, Podcasts- Dear Hank and John and Welcome to NightVale, books- Discworld.

3)       Masterlists etc.

Re: friends?

Amy would definitely be my favorite if she were a real person. Or maybe Terry. I'd be terrified of Rosa in real life. Charles would be too annoying. Even Jake would probably be too much. Captain Holt would intimidate the crap out of me. But as characters, they're all fantastic.

Ooh intriguing, I'll have to check out that fic.

I should warn you that I'm like a stray dog. Too much encouragement and you can't get rid of me. :-) You gave me the opening so… click on image for story.

Yeah I agree, Amy probably would be the best to know in real life. I love Jake but I feel like if I knew him in real life I would be constantly offended. I could maybe put up with Charles if he had an 'annoying cringe things' jar where he had to put a dollar every time he did cringey things.

Your fic: I didn't know how much I needed this until now. I've only read the first chapter so far, but I really love the way you characterise Korg and the humour is brilliant!

Korg is my favorite

Yay! Once I got the idea of Korg and Hulk as a couple in my head, I couldn't let it go. Wouldn't they be adorable? I have no idea where the chocolate chip cookies came from but it was one of the first details that popped into my brain, hence the title.
