On board the SS Karimloo

[doctor_jehane]

So, I have the vague idea that it's the done thing to assemble a ship manifesto, before one embarks upon the vessel in question? And I am nothing if not a keen adherent of The Done Thing.

As such, I present you the following evidence of that tantalising luxury cruiser that is Ramin Karimloo and Will Swenson:

I thought I was hallucinating when I saw your name. Glad to see you back in LJ :) I'd love to leave a longer note but I have to start work in erm... 10 minutes.

Hi, Clover! Glad to be back. Hope you've been well! And hopefully we'll intersect on our new fandoms. Catch me up with you when you have the time!

[clover71]

Well, I'd love to hear what you've been up to. How long have you been away from LJ? I had my hiatus moments so I hadn't been able to keep track of everyone. There's not much to catch up on with me. My life is still as boring as ever, still busy with work. I do have new fandoms, too many that it's hard to focus. I'll go pay your AO3 a visit to see new works once I'm done with work. See ya!!!

Dear, you are welcome in my journal and on my AO3 any time! Am jehane18 out there +clears decks for you+

Iiiii think my last LJ entry was from when DCook came to the Island, like, in 2012? I had a couple of crazy busy years at work - back to back trials, some career crap - and, you know, I was sort of American Idoled out, and my well was dry, and I didn't really feel the crazy fandom love anymore. I lurked on the fringes of Hannibal fandom, though, and last year I made it out to NYC to watch Hamilton and Les Mis, and suddenly I was in love again with a singer in the same way I hadn't been since DCook. And I stalked a couple of journals and then the porn battle happened, and OMG there was a flood of fic from me ;)

Otherwise, things are good now; back on a more even keel at work, kids growing like weeds. Hub got a promotion at work and now heads his agency. I am trying to persuade him to learn how to Argentine tango with me, lol. Have started Broadway signing class.

How is everything with you?

[clover71]

Everything's good. I'm growing old :o I have lots of white hair to prove it. LOL. I'm stuck in LJ, obviously, while others have moved onto more exciting platforms. I have tumblr though I don't use it. Last time I updated it was weeks after I created it, I think. :D Or I think I reblogged something last January. So pointless to check it out.

I still write but not as often as before. Only when I join challenges and oftentimes I drop out anyway. I also post at AO3 but only fics I'm brave enough to share to the world. Those I'd like to hide from the public eye stays in my LJ fic journal.

[doctor_jehane]

haha, I've recently been writing like a fiend, but only posting to AO3, where I can kind of pretend it doesn't exist! come over, if you like: http://archiveofourown.org/users/jehane18/pseuds/jehane18

Link me to you if you're feeling brave ;)

I do hope you're still making art - the media and icons you made for me I keep and cherish to this day <3

[clover71]

LOL, I have it the other way around. I consider AO3 as a public stage where anyone can see so if I'm not too confident to put a fic on display it goes into my fic LJ :D

My AO3 is http://archiveofourown.org/users/clover71/works

I do still make art occasionally, not as often as before because there isn't anyone to make them for anymore :( and I don't have much time to search for 'materials'.

Glad you still have the arts I made for you :)

[doctor_jehane]

i do! I have all the art and icons, including this one. ♥ ♥
