Tumblr's nice and full of shiny things, but I miss that sense of community I had on LJ

[strangelyjonathan]

Name: Teri

Age: 30+ (yikes!)

Country: USA

Subscription/Access Policy: I've had this dreamwidth account for years, but rarely ever used it. I'm just starting to revamp it now, but I'll be making my fandom posts public, and most personal posts friend locked.

 

Main Fandoms: Doctor Who (NuWho), Star Trek (all), Harry Potter 

Other Fandoms: Firefly, Farscape, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Galavant, Pushing Daisies, actually a lot of sci-fi even the older stuff like Lost in Space (1960s)! I have so many film and television interests that they range from pre-code to modern day.

Fannish Interests: I enjoy chatting about a variety of fandoms, and also make gifs and icons. I really appreciate people who can laugh about their fandoms and don't take them so seriously that they hate on characters. I'm a fan of Alan Rickman, Kenneth Branagh, Chris Pine, and more. I love seeing what other people are into because it introduces me to new things. I tend to lean towards an interest in sci-fi, fantasy, and fairy tales.  

OTPs and Ships: Most of my ships are canon and I'm not a fanfic writer, but some of my friends are brilliant at it, and I don't mind seeing it on my dash. I don't hate on any characters or ships. 

 

Favourite Movies: Harry Potter(s), Star Trek(s), Galaxy Quest, The Princess Bride, Gattaca, The Illusionist, Little Shop of Horrors, Ghost Busters (old and new), Bubble Boy, Amadeus

TV Shows: Star Trek, Doctor Who, Modern Family, The Middle, The Goldbergs, and cheesy old favorites like Jack of All Trades

Books: so many, but I'm really into Neil Gaiman right now.

Music: almost anything upbeat and fun, a lot of 80's music, and soundtracks from musicals, occasionally classical

Games: Not a gamer, unless you count old Atari games.

Comics/Anime/Misc: I'm not much into comics or anime, but film-wise, I did enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy and am looking forward to seeing Wonder Woman (I hope it's good!). I like musicals and live theatre (plays). 

 

Other Info: I also post about gardening, home design ideas, life in general, and share photos. I'm a gif maker on tumblr and my primary blog can be found here. I also have a Potter/JSAMN tumblr here, and belong to probably too many groups on that site. Because I've made so many gifs, you'll probably see some of those as reaction images in my journal here too. I tend to comment on anything I find relatable and am pretty good about replying to comments. I don't like seeing graphic horror on my dash, glorified violence or drugs, hate of any kind, and don't really want to see a ton of screaming posts about politics or news. I was really hesitant about making a post here, but I've gotten really bored with tumblr, and declined the new LJ agreement, thus blocking me from accessing my account there, so I'm hoping to find some of my old friends on this site, and meet some new people with similar interests. I'll likely follow back/grant access to friendly people with similar interests/journals. At this moment, there's not much on mine, as I'm just getting started here and couldn't import my LJ over (wish I'd done that earlier when I had access!). I really miss old LJ, like the way it was before it was sold the first time, and I'm hoping there's still a chance to recreate that sense of community and fun.
