Aw, look at all the people posting. Hello again! No idea if I’ll actually start posting here again more than once or twice a year, but it’d be nice if fandom exodus’d back this way.

(Egad, I never even posted links to my Yuletide fic or gift last year. I’ve been even scarcer than I thought.)

But oh, for the ease of image hosting at tumblr. :( I don’t suppose that’s ever really coming to the AO3, huh.

Oh cool! Well, I'm looking forward to trying that out, when I have occasion to.

Did you have a livejournal fandom phase? I don't really know much about your fannish history before we met!

I kind of did? I mostly lurked - I didn't become actively involved in fandom until like ... 2013? ish? ... when I started making Dragon Age fanart. I had a personal journal that I kept between about 2008 and 2012. My main engagement on Livejournal was with the Harry Potter fandom (and, to my discredit, Inglourious Basterds...)

We should IM about this at some point - I actually don't know a whole lot about your fannish history, either!

Mostly lurking counts; you still get that sort of ~cultural context. ;) And huh, so you got your journal after the original Strikethrough mess!

(I've never actually watched Inglourious Basterds, and if the fandom had any particular tenor or reputation, I'm unfamiliar. Why discredit? Also I spent several years doing a whoooole lot of band RPF stuff, as you will see in my sticky post, so I am not about the judging.)

Oh lord, it's a long and probably not really all that interesting tale. But having said that, I love hearing about other peoples' experiences in great detail, so. Yes, we totally should!

That's totally fair. :') Basterds fandom was a mess of snobbery, uncomfortable fetishes and cultural insensitivity. (It was a Tarantino fandom, so like......) It's one of those few special interests that I'm actively embarrassed by in retrospect (I was only ever really in it for this one actress and the badfic, but still.)

Yeah, no, I had no idea what Strikethrough was until I googled it. That sounds like an all-to-familiar nightmare...
