Welcome! This journal is unlocked, used to be mostly Harry Potter fic and art, and now it's mostly BBC Sherlock fic and art. The full list of my work can be found here.

( And in an attempt to be more social on the internet, here is a little bit about myself. )

introduction, rambling

Hellooooo I'm the one who left a comment on your hipsterLock story about how I lived in Portland, Oregon.

If you ever come out to visit for some reason, I know an excellent 80's night. Well, mostly 80's. He just plays good stuff. And I love dancing.

Anyhoo. I'll be friending you, but you're under no obligation to friend me back. :^)

Hello, and welcome!

I've been to Portland once, with family. I don't know when I'll go again, but if I do I might just take you up on that offer. Especially since I've now gone 80s dancing in New York City, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans. Clearly I need to continue this trend in every US city.

Looking at your journal, I see that your first three posts are about Doctor Who, XTC, and sexism. So I am more than happy to friend back. I think we'll get along just fine. :)

Hah! There are two 80's nights in Portland that I know of, and one is just 80's music and mostly seems to be folks from the suburbs. The other one started out as specifically playing New Wave but branches out a lot--I've heard everything from Paint It, Black by the Rolling Stones to plenty of newer stuff like MGMT and Justin Timberlake and Franz Ferdinand. Depending on the night it's about half or more 80's stuff, and he takes requests. And I've been going off and on for almost a decade, which is really really strange....I mean, I tried going to a 90's night recently, and it was awful, but I think that was mostly the deejay's fault. I mean, some of the stuff I ask for at the place I like is actually 90's, like Groove is in the Heart by DeeLite and Boys and Girls by Blur and he always plays Common People by Pulp ( ... )

That playlist sounds flawless. Gotta love a good dance party.

I've heard good things about Portland, but I have an undying love affair with NYC, so I don't see moving any time soon. :) I think after living here, everywhere else would feel so tiny in comparison. Although nothing in New York can compete with Powell's, so I'll give you that!

And you know what, I've never been super active in fandom, so I think the pace on LJ now is really nice. Before I used to find it a bit overwhelming. Yay friends. :)

Hello I'm friending you! I heard the podfic of your Being Liquid a very long time ago and absolutely loved it. That was a time before I was active to any extent on LJ. I saw the rec for the story on crack_broom and got VERY excited that I could finally know who wrote the fic. :D

Hello and welcome! And thank you for the kind words on Being Liquid. Wasn't the podfic for that just fantastic?! I was super flattered when that came out. I don't really write much HP these days, but I'm glad to have you on board!
