FIRST ACTUAL POST ON LJ
Hello,
I've recently begun de-lurking and decided part of that process would be joining the LJ community. I had previously used Blogger, but I've transferred over all key posts. Therefore, even though this is the first entry I’m typing into LJ, you will find posts going back to Dec 2005.
There's a mix here: discussions of sf, politics, current events, and occasionally my life. For those of you interested in fanfic, 2 older posts directly relate: 'Death of the Author' and 'Bad SF, Bad.'
While I participate in and follow certain specific fandoms, I am very interested in sf/fantasy/horror as an overall genre. How can we have the best of all of these taken more seriously and recognized as important cultural indicators?
I haven't learned yet how to do tags or hide things behind a cut, so I apologize that this looks like a regular blog. I also don't know how to use the friending system. I hope to learn quickly.
Please feel free to comment, even if it’s an older post.
