Introduction/Paryt/Hang Out Post!

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.

Hey there, I'm Sophie. I mostly participate in fandom by writing fic and making podfic, including a lot of femslash and lady-centric het. I mostly write Merlin and even though most people seem to have given up on Gwen/Morgana as a pairing, I think the ship's opened up for some new and darker possibilities in the last two years. So I get the heartbreak and disappointment with the show but I'm still there shipping it.

Then I've always liked reading meta, though I tend not to write it much. I wonder if one way of getting more participation here would be to have some not-so-deep discussion topics, just like someone bringing up a trope they like (or don't) and other people could say whether that's something that comes up much in femslash in their fandoms, maybe talking about specific fanworks.
