Introduction/Paryt/Hang Out Post!

[amaresu]

So, apparently this community has 211 members with 308 subscribers and I bet you barely know each other. I know that I barely know you. So we are having an introduction/party/hang out post of greatness!

What do you do here? Introduce yourself in a comment, reply to other peoples comments, talk about that bizarre idea you've had and didn't think anyone else would be interested in, throw out some ideas you think this comm could have fun with, basically have fun and get to know each other. There's no wrong way to do this. Except .gif spamming in a top level comment because there are still people out there on dial up.

I'll go first in the comments.

Hi, I'm cleo, another mod around here. I tend to write a lot of femslash but only read things that have been rec'ed to me or have really caught my eye in the header info somehow. I also, and I should hang my head for this, tend to talk about a lot of meta with twtd but never actually getting around to writing much of it. I'm really interested in how femslash functions different than slash for its readers and writers and how it functions in similar ways because I think there is a difference in how some femslash readers/writers relate to ff work. And I love just talking about women and their roles on tv and in books, etc. And subtext...yay subtext!

I tend to write rare or unusual pairings when they catch me...mostly for the challenge. My fandoms...tend to vary but include SVU and Rizzoli & Isles and then whatever else catches my attention. Right now I want to write some Camelot (Starz) femslash, but I have to get past my own knowledge of Arthurian legend and put myself wholly in the show's universe to get it done!

It probably goes without saying, but I bet there are many of us who would love to read your thoughts, if you ever wanted to write something down.

And I can relate to writing unusual pairings. Sometimes I think I'm doing it on purpose, selecting fandoms nobody knows or going for the pairing that is apparently not obvious to anyone else... (Not that I haven't written semi-popular pairings, as well.)

I'm talking with havocthecat up thread about just having discussion posts. Basically throwing out a topic and getting people to talk about it. Less work then writing up meta with more people contributing. It sounds like it could be neat.

I think that was something we talked about in the beginning, but it never happened. I'm all for the idea though. I haven't been keeping up with the threads here the past few days--been sick. :( But I have some thoughts on what we could do that I'll DM later!
