We're already friends. Just popping in to say hi!

I didn't realize you had three cats. I've seen pics of the little black house panther. Are the other two black as well?

Fandoms and Interests: I write in only a couple of fandoms, but I'm pretty polyfannish in my media and reading/fanwork consumption; some favorites include Forever Knight, Hey Arnold!, Lilo & Stitch, Mulan, Quantum Leap, Star Trek television series and original cast movies (haven't seen Discovery yet)
Looking for others who post: about fandom things including fanfic, meta, other fanworks; book and other media reviews; offline/real world things
Things about me: Although I do have favorite ships in my various fandoms where I ship, I'm always open to other pairings, threesomes, poly, etc.; I have a habit of requesting all the bingo challenge cards but am not always good at successfully filling them; I do write about men too but my writing is very focused on the women characters across my fandoms; I'm a better reader than writer
Anything Extra: I love cats but I'm unfortunately allergic

[fhionnuisce]

<3 <3 <3 I love that there was some QL this year!

Other site usernames:AO3: roguefaerie (samidha), Discord: roguefaerie with some numbers attached, I never keep track of that, but basically I'm on the main fannish servers to be found as roguefaerie
Fandoms and Interests:I'm from Supernatural fandom originally, although I had other encounters with fandom-y stuff first. It's complicated. SPN sucked me in and didn't let me go and I've been polyfannish ever since. I will try my hand at whatever people request, with some basic limits. I also enjoy retelling fairy tales and mythology. I mostly write fannish stuff but I'm being more vocal on here occasionally about trans stuff (even occasionally by accident lol.)
Looking for others who post: I'm not really here as often as I was on LJ, so I'm open to whatever you want to share. But I do mostly keep it fannish, because this is a fannish space for me I guess. I feel like this space is a bit separate from my other online spaces.
Things about me: I have 2 cats, I am disabled, I am somewhere in the neighborhood of bi/queer. Due to disability I'm home a lot. I write a lot. A lot of everything.
Anything Extra:
Not really. :) I guess: I was nervous about halfamoon this year since I'm pretty out now. but it's been fun! I am still endlessly curious about women characters and others that are just kind of shunted to the side sometimes so I love this challenge. Also: Maybe my friending meme info is TMI.

[lightbird]

We're already friends. Just saying hi. :)

I love "We Have Always Lived in the Castle". It's such an amazing book. Shirley Jackson was really something.

Haven't seen Birds of Prey yet due to ridiculous work hours, but I've been hearing great things from everyone. Now that job is calming down I may finally have time to see it!

Hi! We have things in common! I realized that I didn't put a lot of detail in my comment here but. My actual DW is quiet and fannish but I am trying to be more open here (again, after a lot on LJ) and I am a leftist (with not a lot of theory, just a lot of life experience and burnout). I want to talk more about books and stuff here. I won't be offended if you don't want to be friends but I thought I would say hi :)

Fandoms and Interests: Fandoms I've actively participated in include Destiny, CJ Cherryh, His Dark Materials, The Books of the Raksura, Red Vs Blue, The Old Kingdom, Spider-Man, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Non-fandom interests include environmental science and politics, though I don't tend to blog about them. This isn't my angry and engaged space.

Things about me: 30, white Australian, aro-ish ace, currently employed as an environment-agriculture middle man. The Conversation is my morning newspaper.
Anything Extra: I adore animals, with a special fondness for frogs and red-tailed black cockatoos; I enjoy learning many things but am terrible at actually mastering any of them; I use coyotes symbolically and a mental dialogue practically; and I think fresh homemade shortbread is a religious experience.
