I seem to have breezed past my 18th LJversary, which means I've been blogging as long as some adults' lives! But in the meantime, LJ has stopped accepting crossposts and Dreamwidth have disabled the option to crosspost to LJ, if I understand things correctly (if you don't follow me on Dreamwidth, you've only missed a whingey post about All4 ( Read more... )

I spent the end of March posting a lot of recs at het_reccers before it came to an end. I may repost them at a more lesiurely pace at

I have just got out of a rabbit-hole of sorting out my icons, motivated by the fact that i. Poldark is coming back this weekend (I appreciate their wanting to avoid Victoria, but couldn’t they have waited for Agents of SHIELD to finish? Perhaps it’s not an obvious overlap to the schedulers, but it includes me, and the way AoS is currently firing on ( Read more... )

Because it’s all about me, in a week where I did have the mental energy or time to do more than read fic and catch a cold, these changes happened at LJ. This is not me saying I’m going to stop cross-posting yet, although the level of fannish activity on LJ has visibly gone down, from very low to extremely low. Perhaps I’m naïve about what it all ( Read more... )

The Batman vs. Superman advertising is gearing up. I haven’t been excited about the film, oh, since hearing what the title was. Conversely, every little detail I hear about The Lego Batman Movie is thrilling me. But it feels like it’s too soon for another live action movie about Batman, I am not enthused about their casting Affleck, I think it ( Read more... )

I have participated in a friending meme! Normally I just worry and worry about filling in the forms in a way that adequately reflects my interests. Having got so caught up in obssessing about whether I've forgotten a ship or given the wrong impression about how I feel about a show or my level of interaction in the fandom, I generally never get ( Read more... )

I saw an lj friending meme in passing recently - I didn’t take part, mainly because of my issues of which spoilerphobia is but one. You were meant to present general information about yourself, what TV shows, films, books etc you were interested in and also which ships you were into. I have to admit that that’s where my eyes fell when looking at ( Read more... )

LJ simply would not work for me last night, so I posted a a bit about the process of writing ‘you bear the weight of my gaze’ and my thoughts about The Autobiography of Jane Eyre - episodes 57 to 68 at Dreamwidth.

purple_cube asked for my fannish timeline over the past ten years - which fandom I most associate with each year etc.

Picking one fandom for some years was really hard, because it turns out I’ve always been multifannish, which the nature of livejournal encouraged. But here goes!

(I do intend to post about stuff that I've been watching - Revenge, The Bletchley Circle and some of The Autobiography of Jane Eyre - but today is not that day.)

On 4th Feb it will be ten years since I started posting on livejournal. (TEN YEARS!?)

Give me a fandom-related topic and, between now and then, I'll ramble about it. The length of my ( Read more... )
