Um. Hi.
Sooooo....hi, interwebs.
I've been meaning to get an LJ for approximately the past three years, but as I'm excruciatingly lazy, I've only just now managed to get around to it. This is actually mostly at the prompting of my friend aliannesecunda , who's been here a lot longer.
This journal may or may not see further use. (I still freak out a bit when people talk to me on the internet, due to my well-meaning parents' constant reinforcement of the idea that if I ever so much as spoke to an internet stranger I would be hunted down and kidnapped. I am attempting to work through my issues in this regard, so please don't take it as a personal affront if I don't respond to you immediately--I'm probably under my bed reassuring myself that scary internet people are not out to get me.) If I do stay active--which I hope to--this journal will probably see me commenting on the news, fandom, whatever video games I happen to be playing, university life, and my horrific overuse of the em-dash. Among other things.
For any of you who've been linked here from aliannesecunda's and my fandom glossary: hi. I'm new here. Please don't kill me with sheep.* Please do feel free to let us know what we got wrong, left out, etc. For anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about, Alianne and I are in a class at university together about fandom. Unfortunately, while we're into fandom (Alianne actively, me as a lurker), the rest of the class are a bunch of Film and Media Studies people. We decided they need a glossary so we don't have to keep explaining Rule 34, slash, h/c, and basically all the other fandom terms that get brought up.
We may have gone a little overboard, as the thing's now twelve pages long.
Anyway. We're soliciting advice from the internet--dangerous but potentially useful--so head over to aliannesecunda.livejournal.com/12345.html, check it out, and let us know what you think.
*Long story.
