About You: [copy pasted from profile, i is lazy] Fannish gopher. Complete spoiler phobe. Eclectic. Likes things that are out of the ordinary. Has a sense of humor about most things. Norwegian. Feminist. INFJ. Makes a lot of icons(spankulert). Gets first impressions from userpics. Is on a boat a lot of the time. Tries to vid. Takes a lot of pictures. Audiophile. Loves reading and watching stories. Makes plans and rarely follows through. Daydreamer.

Fandoms & favourite femmechars:
Person of Interest: fallen head over heels in love with Shaw/Root.
MCU: Natasha. Jane and Darcy are a source of pure joy in the Thor movies <3
Those are the two fandoms I'm most vocal about atm, but my list of favorite ladies is about a mile long.

Anything else: For more fandom info, my interests are pretty comprehensive. I mostly post recs, insta!squee, life stuff, graphics, and a linkspam here and there. Hopefully there will be more vids in the future.

A feminist who loves reading and the MCU ladies sounds awesome. Friends?

[goodbyebird]

Sounds good!

Fellow European here who also loves the Teen Wolf and MCU ladies. Friends?

[geckoholic]

Sure thing! Adding. :D

[shopfront]

Hello! We have a few things in common - particularly MCU/Shield/Arrow/Teen Wolf and oh my god Haven! I adore watching Haven, though I never quite get fandom-y with it because I tend to need a good female friendship or femslash ship to sink my teeth into and it's often just Audrey on her lonesome with the boys, but it is so much fun. I see your journal is locked but I reckon we might get along so I've given you access, feel free to poke about and lemme know if you agree. :)

[geckoholic]

Sure thing, let's give it a go. :D And yeah, there's not really a see of lady characters on Haven that stick around. :/ I do enjoy her with the boys though -- well, more with Duke than with Nathan, but I like the three of them together too.

[tamsin]

Someone else who likes Maya and Sam and reading! You have great taste, want to be friends?

[sixbeforelunch]

Sure!

Just out of curiosity are we talking Sam Carter or Sam Stewart? I love 'em both, but I wasn't sure which one you're referencing. *g*

[tamsin]

Sam Carter. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Sam Stewart.

[sixbeforelunch]

*nods* I figured it was Sam Carter. Not too many people know Sam Stewart, which is why I asked. I was about to squee all over you if you meant the latter. (Not that I will not happily squee about Sam Carter also, but there are fewer opportunities for the other Sam. *g*)

[frith_in_thorns]

I also love Call The Midwife, especially Patsy :D And Sam Carter is my one true love. Friends?

(Also I am ETERNALLY DELIGHTED when I run across people using icons I made, wooo! :D)

[sixbeforelunch]

Sure thing! Yay Patsy and Sam.

Hah! I am delighted with Peggy in her red hat. It's my current default, actually. :)

there appears to be a theme there... :p

About You: For starters, I absolutely suck at these things. I somehow manage to make myself sound even more boring than I actually am.

Twitter blurb says 'coffee and sass. So much coffee and sass.' and yeah, this is truth. I love cracky aus, I love cis-genderswap, I love crossovers, I love regular aus, I love Star Trek like it's my world, I'm bi, pepsi is phenom, I'm a Newfoundlander (aka a province in Canada for those that might not know). I haven't been writing much at all lately, but I keep telling myself I'm going to get better. We'll see. I mod fandom_stocking because I am somewhat unhinged like that.

Fandoms & favourite femmechars: good lord.

SO MANY FANDOMS. I multiship.

OUAT: Pretty much all the ladies. Love them. (having had, er, nothing but bad experiences with SQ part of the fandom, SQ is a noTP).

Trek: Almost all of them (not that familiar with DS9) but I adore Kathryn Janeway beyond all telling.

Helix: ALL THE LADIES. (Jordan's kind of my fave for some reason. Bless her driven faily little heart)

ugh, seriously there are a lot of fandoms. I don't have a specific fandom now, sort of drifted out of TW for reasons.

Am investigating the 100 and also 12 Monkeys has joined the interest list. Bitten is sort of a thing. Also Dominion.

Anything else: I...see now we've hit the part where I am a complete failbot and am not interesting at all.

[tamsin]

I'd love to have a fellow multifannish multishipper on my flist. Friends?

[medie]

Deal!

[endeni]

Hello there, we seem to share lots of fannish interests: my darling Star Trek, OUAT... Friends? (BTW my friending meme post is here on the LJ side of things... And as a side note I'm afraid I do ship SwanQueen but I'm also a tremendous multishipper -besides being tremendously multifannish- and I won't ever force my shipping references onto someone who doesn't share them...)

Plus, I'm taking to opportunity to tell you I love your fics - especially The song no one knows, (Last one out) please turn off the lights and Evidence of Things Not Seen (The Missing Man Remix)! ;)

[medie]

I'm okay with people shipping it, it's just some of the twitter set tweet hate at the actors and, uh, fandom types has made killed any chance of me shipping it dead. Hence why I mentioned it, but I still love the characters tho. :)

And OMG THANK YOU. Seriously you have no idea how much that helps right now *squish*

[endeni]

What, hate at the actors?!? Wow, no wonder you got that reaction... *shake head*
I'm going to guess it's directed towards Colin O'Donoghue? I may not be the biggest fan of his character but what's the poor actor gotta do with anything? - Besides, he's so handsome! ;)

Oh, just the other night I stumbled into Tapestry from a rec and, OMG, so good... *g*

[medie]

ANNNND I somehow forgot to answer this. :p Actually, they go after Sean worse. I suppose he's newer? I'm not sure. There's no logic in it. (Also OMG, yes, so dreamy)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW fanks :D :D :D :D

[endeni]

Wow, that's really absurd... *shakes head*

Also, love your icon! Yesss, Maleficent/Kristin Bauer van Straten is back, it makes me so happy! Now if we could only get some Aurora (& Philip & Mulan) too and some backstory/explanation on Maleficent's feud with Aurora/Aurora's mother... (actors availability permitting...) *fingers crossed*

About You: Twenty-five year old European university student, language nerd, amateur photographer, and Ravenclaw. I wish I could say my life was exciting, but we're here to discuss fandom anyway, aren't we? So let's do that! SciFi is the air I breathe, though recently, I've found myself going back to my roots (aka drama). As long as it's got ladies, I'm there. I am an avid shipper, but my ships tend to be of the het variety, so I'm not including them in my list below.

Fandoms & favourite femmechars: Oh, dear. My current loves are The 100 (Abbyyyyy mostly, but also Octavia and Raven) and Person of Interest (Carter and Zoe all. the. way.)—can you tell I'm more than a little in love with Paige Turco atm? Other favourite fandoms are Babylon 5 (Delenn ♥.♥ + all other ladies really), BSG (LAURA FUCKING ROSLIN), Major Crimes (Sharon Raydorrrrr) and SG-1 (another Carter all the way). Minor fandoms include, in alphabetical order, Agents of SHIELD (May), Borgen (Birgitte), Caprica (Clarice, and Clarice/Amanda has my heart), Leverage (SOPHIE DEVEREAUX UGH), Lie to Me (not a month goes by that I don't have a breakdown over Gillian Foster), Sanctuary (Magnus), Sports Night (Danaaaa), SGA (Elizabeth Weir, dear god), Star Trek TNG (Beverlyyyy) and DS9 (♥ Kira ♥ Nerys ♥) and VOY (oh CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN), The Good Wife (Alicia, duh), The Newsroom (Mac, Sloan) and a bunch of others. I hardly ever care for male characters, sorry. (That said, I love everyone on Person of Interest right now.)

Anything else: I have a profile of sorts set up here, and a fandom/fave characters+ships list here. They include everything you need to know about me. :)

About You: late twenties Australian lesbian who loves cooking, has the occasional girly obsession (currently bpal), and basically consumes 95% of her media for the female characters and/or femslash potential. I also love fantasy/sci-fi/superhero/history themed media, so you'll see a fair chunk of that. I tend to have periodic thinky thoughts on lots of things from photography to diverse media representation to mental health to food as medicine to the occasional bout of left wing political rage. I'm slowly re-entering fandom after an accidental two year break due to juggling full time work and study (graduation in a few months whoo!), so I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing in my journal now I'm back but in the past I've done fic, canon reviews, graphics, fanmixing, worked on the occasional comm or exchange or newsletter, and made the very occasional basic vid. I also just love a good old squeal over awesome female characters.

Fandoms & favourite femmechars: [list by fandom and character, and possibly pairing if you're so inclined]
I always have way too many to count, but a few current favs that spring to mind include:
The Originals: Hayley, Rebekah, Hayley/Rebekah
Agent Carter: Peggy, Angie, Dot, Peggy/Angie
SHIELD: Skye, Simmons, May, Bobbi
Arrow: Felicity is my spirit animal! Also Sara
Elementary: Joan, Joan/Moriarty
How to Get Away with Murder: is there an un-awesome female character on this show? I think not! Sometimes Bonnie/Laurel, sometimes Laurel/Michaela, sometimes Bonnie/Annalise
Teen Wolf: Lydia, Alison, Erica, Kira, Melissa, Alison/Lydia, Alison/Kira, Lydia/Malia, Alison/Erica
Grimm: not super avid until recently with Juliet's arc over the last few weeks

AO3: Merfilly

About You: Someone called me a fannish buffet once, but I think that's going a bit far. I am interested in many fandoms, but very rarely am I in current ones. I do write gen, het, slash of both varieties, and have explored non-binary gender identities from time to time. My Dreamwidth is my links to fic (everything non-original is hosted at the AO3), discussion of life in general, random observations, and the like. I write original fic at merfillyarchive and try to remember to link them in my regular one. (I have a wattpadd; I'm still not sold on it.)

I have a few opt-in filters (New Age for spirituality, TMI, and NaNoWriMo), and my default is access-locked. However, I tend to grant access to all who subscribe to me. Monthly fic wrap-ups go up on the last day of the month and I endeavor to leave those public.

Fandoms & favourite femmechars: I can't even. I was marginally known for my Birds of Prey comic fic with Dinah/Barbara. To date, they are still my main femme pairing. But there's so many movies and books out there that I would love to be encouraged to explore more. In the MCU, I adore pretty much all the women, though I think I only ship Pepper/Natasha loosely. I'm into Leverage currently, and poking potential 'ships for Sophie/Maggie over there. The Librarians is really selling me on Cassandra being bi, pan, or demi... and I like the vibe of her/Lamia. And as the icon shows, I femmeslash in the Fast and Furious franchise, with Mia/Letty dear to my soul.

Anything else: This is a reminder that you are awesome people, and it is okay to be awesome, even in your own heart.
