Hobbit fandom high-five! ;)

[kwritten]

Bravo for reaching outside of your comfort zone! and also for bringing more femslash into the Hobbit fandom!

When you start brainstorming, etc - feel free to come here and run things by me/us bc planning is my favorite part and I'm sure there are other people around that would like to bounce ideas around with you. ♥

These days I'm immersed in 221b Baker Street - all versions from ACD to Elementary.

I've done a bit of femslash (Xena/Gabrielle, Ginger/Mary Ann) and hope to expand my repertoire.

My Big Bang is a story I'm expanding on from my "Tea and Bitching" couplet. I need to get some research done on this.

[kwritten]

Wow! Sounds like fun! I always love seeing Baker Street fandom people in the femme side of things!

Good luck with your expansion!

At this point, most of my writing has been fanfiction for Supernatural or Hamilton. (It literally his crazy just how much inspiration a musical can give you in just a couple of weeks!)
I've just fallen in love with so many pairings, but I'd have to say Alex/Claire and Anna/Ruby (both from Supernatural) are probably my favorites ones out there at the moment! c: No real recs unfortunately, as I haven't read a lot for my loves.

As in what I'm writing, I think I've started outlining my project and doing a lot of research. I'm not completely sure if I'm going to write that fic or perhaps work on an original novel I've been working on for a bit longer, but no matter what I pick, we've left the starting blocks! ^-^

[kwritten]

OOOOh! What pairings for Hamilton are you working with right now???

Well good luck with all your research and stuff! Feel free to bounce things around in the comments if you need any help, just want to vent. And OMG original novel????! HUZZAH FOR YOU!

[youaregonecas]

There's a lot to be honest! ^-^ But it's mainly working with John Laurens/Alexander Hamilton [and including Eliza Hamilton/Alexander Hamilton + John Laurens/Martha Laurens, maybe even a little bit Martha/Eliza if my current project keeps doing what it's doing!]

Thank you dear! :3

I feel this! I'm over in the background shipping Aaron/Angelica mostly by myself, lol. but your project sounds amazing! good luck!

I generally write Harry Potter, I actually did a challenge in 2015 where I wrote a Sirius/Remus fic every week - the enthusiasm has carried over into the new year even after the end of the challenge :) So, Harry Potter, also the Lord of the Rings and Marvel. A little bit of the Tamora Pierce/Tortall novels, but that's such a tiny fandom that I don't write a lot for it.

My favorite femslash pai....agh, what a difficult question! I think either Fleur/Tonks or Ginny/Luna (check out montparnasse at AO3, she's an absolutely divine writer and has excellent fics for both of these).

I've done about 5 or 6 false starts on my fsbb but now I think I have a better handle on the plot! So things should go a bit more smoothly now.

[josephinestone]

Ginny/Luna is a favourite of mine as well and I'm working on a couple stories the one for this is either going to be a Ginny/Luna or a Hermione/Luna.

[kwritten]

Holy smokes a fic every week? That's completely impressive! good for you!

Thanks for the HP femme rec! that's wonderful!

and CONGRATS on already starting your bb! mine is so on the backburner atm bc of Fem-Feb, etc. So YAY!!!!

♥

[blanketdinstars]

Thanks so much! Enjoy the fic :)

I haven't started writing yet, but I think I've got a solid plot in the works and I've starting collecting inspirational things. :)

As for introductions, I'm generally a writer, but I also tend to make a lot of fanmixes lately. I've been known to dabble in art, but not in a long time because grad school has forced me to drop some hobbies. I'm a multifandom multishipper, and my preferences are for slash and/or friendship stories. My femslash OTP is Natasha/Pepper from the Marvel universe (I've recently started running fuckyeahblackpepper on tumblr), but lately I've been super into Abby/Kate from NCIS and Betty/Violet from Rat Queens too. I wrote my femslash bb fic for Betty/Violet last year!

[luvtheheaven]

I'm gonna go check out fuckyeahblackpepper on tumblr right now. ;) I think I may catch on to liking this ship. I'm really behind with getting into MCU but I'm watching one film per month and in January finally saw Iron Man 3 and I really do like what I've seen of Natasha's character so far and Pepper was very likable in the Iron Man films as well haha.

[peachpai]

Excellent, I hope you enjoy the blog! I'm trying to get some fun stuff going on there - we just finished a gift exchange for Femslash February. :) I'm always happy to see new Nat/Pep fans.

[kwritten]

Yay for collecting inspiration! That can sometimes be the funnest part!

Fanmixes are so fun! OMG GRAD SCHOOL YOU ARE AN ACTUAL SUPERHERO. and huzzah on your new tumblr!

So glad to see you back again this year!
