accioslash has a happy-making discussion where she asks how we discovered fandom. I know some of you have already shared over there (&hearts!), but for everybody else: how did you get here? Make your own post if you'd rather meme it. :)

Most of the time I still feel new, but after five or six years I guess I'm not brand new anymore. I can't remember the ( Read more... )

Dear anons, ILU too!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Some of you may remember the Internet Sampler I drew last year. Well, icefalcon has stitched a REAL one. With real floss and real Aida and it's really really awesome. It exists now, out in the world, a tangible thing. More pictures here, (where you can comment directly to icefalcon if you're so inclined).

I guess I should preface this by saying that I occasionally read at the pit. What. I see recs. There's some good stuff there. Hush.This is something I've just started doing in the last couple of months -- printing long fics to read offline. I made myself a little OpenOffice template to copy/paste stories into, to make for easy reading but to ( Read more... )

When you see this on your flist quote Supernatural:

Awkward.

I watched Supernatural tonight on tv as it was actually being broadcast, and I'm not sure, but I think this is the first time this season that I've done that. So I wanted to make ( one of those spoilery 'please excuse my squeeing while I attempt to incorporate new canon into my worldview' posts. )

Thank y'all so much for the love at the love meme. I feel all cuddled, and I appreciate you guys.

I appreciate you all, everybody reading this. Yes, you. The writers, the essayists, the reccers, the network-builders, the organizers, the mods, the artists, the meta writers. The lurkers, for whom I have a special fondness because I lurked for ( Read more... )

While putting together the Supernatural map thing, I ran across a few maps from other fandoms. And they're so nifty, I starting searching for them in earnest. They feature either canon locations (fictional or real), filming locations, or some combination. Potential spoilers.

I've been in a slump lately, in fandom and real life.  There are so many journals I'd like to start watching, but I'm having trouble keeping up with just the ones I'm already reading.  And there's been so much fantastic art lately that I've failed to comment on.  I have been loving you from afar, dear readers, even though I haven't been showing it ( Read more... )

First off, have I mentioned lately how much I adore hill_? No? Well. I adore hill_ big big time. For her constant support and encouragement, and for her excellent modly work, and for her overwhelming generosity. ♥ Also, for all the smut. ;)

Alright. Here are a couple of drawings done for hp_fringeart's Famous Work of Art Imitation Challenge.

This may seem readily apparent, but it's taken me a year and a half to grok it: Fandom is a helluva lot more fun when you participate.

I want to express my appreciation for all my F-List, both Friends and Friends Of. You're brilliant, all of you.

And congratulations to fools_trifle and reallycorking for their wins in hp_fringeart's October Kiss Challenge. All the entries are ( Read more... )
