I had a thought, a while back, and today I decided to look into it; I thought, huh, anime and manga fandom are kinda different from live-action fandom. More of a focus on fanart, of course, but then I started seeing stuff on the hetalia comm about local get-togethers, and pictures of those showed dozens of people, all in the same area (admittedly, the ( Read more... )

Two things:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY snopes_faith! Technically the day is almost over but I was very busy so I am totally excused. Many happy returns, and continue being fab, if you will. ♥

Washington State Honors Penny Arcade. Fuck yeah, home pride. We gots us the geek Congresspeople, yo.

Right. Time to not do my homework. Allons-y!

Because I am at work and bored and they have not found the DVDs for me to transcribe yet:

( The other meme that has been going around, you know, the one about fandoms )

Hey hey happy birthday wondygal! *squishes* You are awesome and you have a quote from Leela in the Gallifrey audios on your layout, so clearly you are even more awesome. Go, have a happy birthday, free of alien invasions and supernatural attacks (unless that is what you want).

It uses words like Gothic and Romantic, man, with the capital letters and ( Read more... )

I don't have a lot of SGA folks on my flist, probably because I've never really been involved in the fandom; I lurk in the background and love it from a distance. And I do mean love it. The SGA fandom is almost certainly the biggest, best, and friendliest fandom I've ever seen--sure, it's got wank, but not much in the way of shipwars, and there's ( Read more... )

I remember that it is March, and then I remember that way back when I posted my first fic it was March, so I look it up, and, oh hey, tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of my second (decent) fic ever (my first was a couple weeks ago). Freeeeaky. But you know what is even better? In those fifty-four weeks since my first fic, there have been ( Read more... )
