I'm late! I'm late! *runs in*

Day 4

Introduce yourself to someone you admire and friend/follow them on whatever platform you use - journal or Twitter or Tumblr or whatever. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

Done :)

Day 5

In your own space, share something non-fannish you are passionate about with your fannish friends. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Music has always been such a central part of my life. I grew up in a musical household where it was a requirement to be musically literate before I left home. And let me tell you - that did happen. Music is a part of every single day of my life. Not just the radio, but practicing at my piano and cello. Trying to learn guitar on my own. Listening to new operas and musicals, searching out places to hear it live. It's one of the only ways I know of where every single emotion can be expressed and when you find that performance that thrums through your body and makes your heart ache with it - there's nothing like it.

Day 6

In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) and that you ended up loving.

Please Hang Up And Try Again by
bookshop, The Dresden Files, Harry Dresden/John Marcone
"I'm going to need at least a dozen more roses before the chastity belt comes off."
I didn't think I'd like reading Dresden slash, especially with these two. But it's fun and snarky and sexy... not exactly what I expected, but now it's one of my favorite pairings ;)

The Devil You Know by
sandrine, The Fast & The Furious, Carter Verone/Brian O'Connor, non-consensual/dubious consent
Verone comes after Brian with vengeance on his mind, but gets more than he's bargained for.
I'm not much for non-con/dub-con. It takes a well written fic and circumstances within the fic that make it palatable to me. This fic was very well done and the evolution of the relationship between the two men, even with Brian as a prisoner, is well done. A very interesting take on what could have happened between those two.

Life For Rent by
race_the_ace, NCIS: LA, G Callen/OMC
Callen wasn't lonely, he was just alone. Until someone stepped in and changed all that. Can he allow himself to be happy?
I don't often like original characters that feature in the main relationship of a fic - they are often one dimensional and annoying. But I took a risk on this fic, just like I did with the fandom since I'm not quite a fan of the NCIS:LA fandom. And it was pretty awesome *nods* Definitely did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Day 7

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Drop a link to your wish-list in this post. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

Interesting... ok, here we go.

1. More 'Falling Skies' fanfiction. I love the fic that mistokath13 wrote for my prompt over at rounds-of-kink called No One You Can Save That Can't Be Saved. I wish there was more fic ;)

2. I'd love a crossover of Suits and Inception where Arthur is Harvey's younger brother who ran away to join the military before becoming Cobb's pointman. C'mon - it'd be awesome!

3. And I don't know if this counts, but I'd love to be able to tempt the lovely mickey-sixx back into fandom and RPing. Miss the fandom wifey terribly ;)

4. I would love some new wallpapers/banners/icons for all my new fandoms of late. *nods* Especially Revenge, Person of Interest, Mission Impossible, etc... and you can never go amiss with my other fandoms as well. Pretties are awesomesauce ;)
