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.

I know I've heard some history of femslash, but I get the impression that it's not nearly as coherant as slash. There seems to have been little pockets that eventually merged. I agree that it's be nice to have a discussion on how people think it developed/precieved it to develop.

Also 3rding you and dagas_isa. More talking about the things that get done right.

I like to do both. Well, I get so happy I squee over what's been done right, and then I get annoyed and start ranting about what's been done wrong. But that's me.

I have a tendancy to squee over something (for example, River Song on Doctor Who) and then... analyse it and find problems. And finding things that make you quibble tends (in my case) to totally dampen my squee. :)

For me, it doesn't work that way. I can critique the problematic and still find the good things to love. Or I can quite often, which explains how I spent so long focused on the women in Stargate fandom. :) I see how it doesn't work that way for some people, believe me! But I did want to point out that some of us try to balance it out and deal with both.

Also, there are some people that focus on only the negative, and the critique, while useful, can get to be a little too much after a while.
