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.

Hello my name is Calvina. I lurk here. I originally subscribed to this comm, because I have always been vaguely interested in reading more f/f, but I am pretty firmly ensconced in m/m fandom, and I don't come across many f/f writers or recs. I hoped that general discussion in the comm would guide me towards authors and stories I'd want to read, so I'm saddened by the relative quiet here. But of course, it's mostly my own fault because I'm bad at seeking things out.

A couple of weeks ago I watched my first episode of Rizzoli and Isles, and I totally see it. I really, really do. I should make sure to watch some of that. (I had my own imaginary tv show with a cop couple, once upon a time, featuring Kate Moennig and Eliza Dushku. Good times...)

I am also newly fond of the web comic Girls With Slingshots, which has Jamie/Erin, who seem pretty darn ace to me. They are adorable.

And then of course I'm still hoping someone will write that epic Vastra/Jenny fic where they solve crime in Victorian London and have kinky sex together...

I've been reading Girls With Slingshots since you linked it over at asexual_fandom and it's sucking up all my time. Pfft.

Maybe we need to make a general rec post over here? Post your top five favorite fics? Something like that?

[calvinahobbes]

I apologize! It is very time-sucky, I know!

I was going to make a post over there with the salient strips, to lure more people in -- if you happen to remember where the good ones are hiding, feel free to clue me in... *goes looking*

I would adore a recs post, I really would, but I hesitated to ask, because I'm not sure whether this comm is for that? But I don't actually think there IS a femslash rec comm on DW...

[amaresu]

You could make a femslash rec comm? Or post to create_my_comm and see if anyone else wants to do it?

[tamsin]

I know someone at the ladiesbigbang signed up to do femslash recs, so that's worth keeping an eye on.

On lj there are ff_showcase and femslash_recs. Might be a starting place.

Ooh, that sounds really good! Thanks for the links!
