Welcome!

Hi, hello, welcome!

This post doesn’t really contain a lot of new information for anyone who was previously following me on Tumblr, but I figure an orientation is in order. This is a brand shiny new (to me) space, so I’m trying to organize things a bit better, since my Tumblr tagging system was a bit of a mess.

I’m mostly in video game fandoms, with a few others sprinkled in. I enjoy a lot more fandoms than I actually write, since it takes me a while to feel comfortable enough with a new canon to put my own spin on it. (For frame of reference, it usually takes me at least two playthroughs of a new game before I start writing fic for it.)

So in alphabetical order, I enjoy:

• Borderlands (though I’ve only played BL2 and the Presequel)
• Dishonored
• Dragon Age
• Fallout (3, 4, and New Vegas)
• Harry Potter (mostly the books over the movies)
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• Mass Effect
• Pillars of Eternity (I’ve only played the first game and White March DLC, not Deadfire)
• Prey
• Shadowrun (Dragonfall and Hong Kong; I have no experience with the tabletop game)
• Sunless Sea

I also enjoy Stardew Valley, Tolkien (LotR and the Hobbit), and Undertale, but don’t actively seek out content for them. Basically, I’ll like the cute art or share Feels, but don’t expect a lot of content creation!

I turned 30 this year and came later to fandom than most, when I was in my mid-20s. I fully admit I am not a ‘fandom old’ but more of an interested kibbitzer.

I’m mostly in fandom for the fic, and I write a lot! Mostly smut, mostly femslash and/or stuff featuring Real Big Dudes and femdom. I’m bi and write most characters as bi, unless they are specifically gay or lesbian in canon. I refer to my F/M ships as ‘F/M’ rather than ‘het,’ for the same reason I don’t call my F/F ships ‘lesbian’ when one or more people might be bi.

I believe very strongly in curating my own fandom experience, and until I figure out how to screen things better on Dreamwidth, please do not be offended if I do not immediately subscribe back or if I unfollow someone.

In general, my fandom philosophy is that I would rather take joy in sharing what I love than take pride in ripping something down. I can be very critical of the media I consume (especially in regard to queer content and how POC are treated by the narrative) but believe that I can still enjoy something while being aware of its flaws.

I am still figuring out how to tag and sort my posts, but as this account is still relatively empty I think it’s a good time to set up housekeeping! My current plans are to sort things by fandom (ex: “Fandom: Mass Effect”), relationship genre (ex: “Relationship: F/F”), ship with the character names in alphabetical order (ex: “Ship: Aveline/Isabela”), exchanges (ex: “Exchange: Femslash Exchange”) and the letters I use for exchanges. I will probably sort personal posts as “Personal” and meta by fandom and with a meta-specific tag, but that will take time to set up.

And if you survived this extremely lengthy post, congratulations! Thank you for your time. :)

I'm new to you, so I appreciate this! I'm right there with you on how long it takes to feel comfortable writing fic. And your thoroughness in tagging brings me great joy. <3

We talked once on tumblr, but I'm a new follower. Just wanted to say hello! I'm looking forward to seeing your posts in my reading list.

I am just hopefuly that by keeping connected across several platforms I can stay connected to all the awesome fandom friends and content creators I admire (like your good self) even through whatever censorship and upheaval come our way.

I tend to be a silent lurker/admirer, but I'm still glad to see you here! Speaking of which, there's a new fallout kink meme, if you are interested! Here: https://fallout-kink-meme.dreamwidth.org/

*waves* I've been really loving our discussions from the GYWO book club and decided to bounce over here and check out your journal and lo and behold... another gamer? Who loves femslash? And doesn't default F/F ships as lesbians because hey, bisexuals exist too?? And also identifies as queer because hell yeah???? And is critical of media while still enjoying it??????? ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Don't mind me as I subscribe :D

Hey there! I recently decided to dip my toes into Dreamwidth, and I was stoked to see you had an active account! We haven't interacted much, but I've left a few comments on your (fantastic, amazing, delightful) fics on AO3 as tortuosity, if that rings a bell at all :)

[sideways]

Hullo! I don't know that we've ever interacted (tfw too many aliases across too many settings...) but I've seen you in a few comment sections and it looks like we share a lot of interests! PoE and Sunless Sea, yissss c:
