Welcome Post!

[why_me_why_not]

Welcome! I've been in fandom for 20 years, starting out on Livejournal. Since the great migration from LJ to DW, my posting is more sporadic. I never quite got the hang of Tumblr so I feel more on the fringes of fandom these days.

I do have fic on AO3 but also have a bunch of older stuff here on dreamwidth.

My journal lately is just random stuff, mostly RL. I have bipolar disorder and chronic migraines. I'm a SAHA (stay at home auntie) now that my kids are officially adults. My big family, a mishmash of blood and choice and church, is super important to me.

I don't have a current main fandom, but I'm good with discussion about, but not limited to: Harry Potter, LotR (my gateway into fandom!), Star Trek, Teen Wolf, Generation Kill, Marvel (including avengers & xmen movie verse, as well as the tv shows for The Gifted and Runaways), The Losers, Old Guard, Stranger Things, Supernatural (the early years especially when it comes to the show, but also the cast & SPN family!), The Witcher, The Expanse (books or tv series), Shameless, Criminal Minds.

Other interests: TV, music, movies, food, hockey. Competing with my sister when it come to our reading log for the year - join me on StoryGraph!

Hello, nice to meet you. Thank you for taking part in Snowflake 🙂

I'm not surprised you were thrown for a loop with the brain injury, I'm sure anyone would be. Hopes and prayers for your continued recovery, it sounds like you have a wonderful group of family and friends surrounding you.

If you have a look through the challenge posts you'll find people in many of the fandoms you've listed, fic recs, etc, maybe they'll draw you in to a new fandom, lol, I know I already have a list of shows I want to take a look at.

Funnily enough, I started off on DW as someone gave me a code, but found most people I knew were in LJ, now many if them have moved over here.

I hope you enjoy Snowflake, it's nice to have you here.

I'm excited for Snowflake!

I was on LJ for ages, and then everyone migrated to tumblr, which I never got the hang of. I have several friends who I met through various fandoms that I'm close to, but we're together mainly on twitter and text these days, and a lot of that is RL stuff since we're all in different fandoms and/or in different places in our lives now.

Lol, I can't get my head around Tumblr either!

I love Snowflake, I've done it a few years now, that's why now that i have a bit more time, I volunteered to help mod the challenge this year, just to give something back. I'm having so much fun!

I'm glad you're having fun! I know you're busy, commenting on all the posts and such, but it's much appreciated and is definitely making me feel welcome/included!

Thank you :)

Ah, Teen Wolf! Where the fandom exceeded the show. Marvel, The Losers . . . ♥

The Old Guard was one of the best things to happen to 2020!

I also see both Shelter and Jericho on your profile! Love both of those.

[why_me_why_not]

Haha, yes, the fandom of Teen Wolf was so much better than the show! And The Old Guard is amazing.

I actually just found a Shelter fic in my emails when I was looking for something else, and it's posted in my old fics but I think I might post it on A03 for Valentines Day (it was originally for a valentines exchange, I think). I love those boys.
