[dusts off journal] hello!

[thisonething]

Name: Sadie
Age: 29
Location: Colorado, USA

Subscription/Access Policy: If you're friendly and respectful everything will be great. I like interacting/commenting, so reciprocation in that quarter is good. I'm starting fresh over here, though I've been on Dreamwidth for years. My journal had a ton of entries from 2009-2014, which were... pain-inducing old and largely irrelevant, so I've cleared them out in favor of having a clean slate. :)

Main Fandoms: Dragonlance, World of the Five Gods, Star Trek: DS9, The Last Kingdom, Harry Potter, The Old Kingdom, Notre Dame de Paris

Other Fandoms: I'll go with 'stuff I enjoy/am into, but not necessarily active/writing fic for': She-Ra, A:tLA, A:tLoK, Fruits Basket, Yuri On Ice, Love Your Garden (lol), Sherlock (various), Wynonna Earp, Loveless, Kuroshitsuji, Card Captor Sakura, Card Captor Sakura: Clear Card (still watching with partner!), Godless, The Curious Creatures of Christine McConnell, maybe the new Voltron (dunno, have to keep watching), I fringe Marvel stuff etc

Fannish Interests: I write (or have an interest in writing) for the 'main fandoms' category above while incorporating some (if not all) of the following themes: AUs (my bread and butter), neurodivergence, queer characters, found family, canon divergence, subverting established tropes, slow burn fics, unrequited 'we can't' fics....

OTPs and Ships: Oh lord, whatever happens organically! I've got Raistlin/Dalamar fic for Dragonlance, Raistlin/Crysania, and... yeah, whatever happens organically while I'm writing. Same for World of the Five Gods. In ST:DS9, it's largely Garak/Bashir, and (heaven help me) Alfred/Uhtred for The Last Kingdom. Old Kingdom, definitely Nick/Lirael. Speculative stuff with Notre Dame de Paris.

Favourite Movies: Ayyy Studio Ghibli!

TV Shows: Above covers my interests nicely. :)

Books: Hnnnnnng lots and lots, it'd take me forever to list. I'll link up my GoodReads.

Music: Forever evolving.

Games: Flight Rising (browser game involving pixel dragons, it's quite fun).

Comics/Anime/Misc: Nothing current but I've taken part in anime fandoms in the past.

Other Info: Oldie/LJ-strikethrough refugee to DW. I'm open to friend/access requests and mutual subscriptions! Some of my fic lists under Mature on AO3, so if I link it here it'll be tagged accordingly. I use cuts for images over 500px and cuts for long text entries (and tend to appreciate the same). I occasionally make fanmixes, which I post with links under cut tags. In lieu of Tumblr's nonsense, I'll probably become quite active here on Dreamwidth (again), with links to my writing on AO3, fanmixes on 8tracks, and the occasional post about Flight Rising shenanigans.

I haven't written anything for the World of Five Gods, but I love those novels! (I have yet to read the Penric stories, though... I haven't gotten used to e-books yet.) I also love Fruits Basket and Ghibli movies. Can I add you?

[thisonething]

Definitely! I wasn't sure if I'd find someone with that shared interest! I hope to start putting out fic for those novels (and the Penric novels as well) eventually. :)

Okay, I read the Dragonlance series, starting with the Chronicles, when I was in junior high. As they were being released. If we'd had the internet back then, I would have been in Dragonlance fandom. I had the books, the calendars, the atlas, Leaves of the the Inn of the Last Home, the artwork book, the game modules... and my own twisted Raistlin/Dalamar fantasies. I still have all the books, and my son is now reading them.

Honestly, I'm way too old for Dragonlance now, but may I add you for nostalgia's sake?

Sure thing! I've been eyeball deep in DL since I was nine. I was eagerly awaiting the publication of Soulforge, but Chronicles, Legends, Second Gen and Summer Flame were already in print. I saved up my lunch money to get Soulforge the weekend after it hit shelves.

The fandom went quite for a handful of years, but then gained a foothold on Tumblr (amazingly). I've been over there, but what with the recent nonsense I'm determined to dust off my presence over here. I prefer DW, overall, but there's a definite draw to be where the similarly-fandomed happen to be. If DL migrates here, I'll be thrilled!

My son has my copy of Soulforge right now! Have you seen the paperback, choose-your-own-adventure book, The Soulforge? It came with character cards and such, but I've long since lost that stuff. I still have the book, though. Terry Phillips is the author, and it was published by TSR, not Wizards of the Coast.

I hear you on hoping your fandom moves to DW! My main fandom is Marvel, but I specialize in HYDRA. I have not found any HYDRA people here yet.

[thisonething]

Oh that's digging for sure. I had a 'choose your adventure' and it had a lot to do with Raistlin, but I can't recall if it was Soulforge or something later. I think it had to do with his Test, specifically, but ayyyy that's back in storage I haven't seen for.... too many years now. I definitely anticipate some photo spam once I'm able to get my old belongings back. Lots of DL and other stuff in there!
