Age: almost 28
Country: USA

Subscription/Access Policy: Open currently & I add back. Posts are all public at the moment, but I might move towards friendslocking everything but fic eventually.
I post about: I'm slowly creaking into gear with this journal: some RL, books, movies, latest thing I'm consuming in general, primarily my main fandoms, it would be cool to do "latest fic read" recs kinds of posts.

Main Fandoms: I'm multifandom, but my main interest right now is My Hero Academia (both manga & anime). Things that will probably kick in soon: asoiaf (once I get Fire & Blood), Bungou Stray Dogs (I want to catch up with the manga), and Gotham (once the last season starts).

Other Fandoms: of my heart which I am always ready to gush about: MCU, Harry Potter (including Fantastic Beasts), Naruto, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Legend of Korra. I tend to read mostly HP & Naruto fic still.

Fannish Interests: I love genfic! Humor & angst! Canon divergence AUs! Rarepairs! I'm pro-shipping and am very live & let live about fandom: YKINMKATO. I mostly read fic and look at art, but have started writing fic for the first time in four years this summer. I like reading meta but don't generally produce it. Worldbuilding is always fun.

Name: Igenlode
Age: Online since before the millennials were born.
Country: England
Access: Everything I post is currently public access.

I opened an account here to import all my Livejournal stuff because I was finding the Livejournal interface increasingly inaccessible without bells and whistles. Just in time, since I lost posting access to LJ altogether when I couldn't activate the confirmation screen for their new terms and conditions!

Main fandoms: I've been writing "Phantom of the Opera" (and "Love Never Dies") stories for the last few years. I spent a lot of time discussing the Harry Potter books as they originally came out, but I've only written a couple of stories for the HP fandom (both now AU, having been superseded by subsequent canon events!) Likewise, I spent a good deal of time discussing the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" film before all the sequels came out, and used to read and write in that fandom. My first experience with fandom was the BBC science-fiction series "Blake's 7", in the days before online fandom, when I wrote stories for print publication in zines you actually had to pay for...
Recently I've started writing stories for the 2015 film "Crimson Peak", but although it's only a few years old the fandom already seems to have died, which is very frustrating :-(

Fannish interests: I'm pretty hot on canon/historical accuracy, especially where a fandom covers several distinct versions (the big gap between book and musical versions of "Les Miserables"/"Phantom of the Opera", for instance), so a pick-and-mix approach gets on my nerves. I've been known to spend quite ridiculous amounts of time researching, for instance, whether trains on the Continent in the 1880s had first-class compartments before allowing my protagonist to take advantage of one ;-)

Shipping: See above. I'm particularly uncomfortable with stories that start off with the main character gratuitously dumping their canon love interest in order to facilitate the writer's desired 'ship', especially when this involves the writer's own views on how unworthy/boring the canon love interest is being put into the protagonist's mouth...
For "Phantom of the Opera" fanfiction, I specifically won't even bother to read the very popular Erik/Christine pairing, which eliminates about 90% of the field; I find myself too much in sympathy with the unfortunate Raoul, whose only fault lies in blocking the fans' wish-fulfilment!

Favourite characters: I've become something of a specialist in Raoul de Chagny, mainly because it's a field practically no-one else pays any attention to. I back Roj Blake in "Blake's 7" over the cynical and self-sufficient Avon because it's much easier to get admiration by being cynically detached and amusing about things than by actually sticking out your neck and caring about them. My favourite character in Harry Potter was Snape, and in Les Mis, Javert -- but that doesn't mean I want to see either of them sentimentalised over with all their unpleasant edges ignored.

I like to post about: A lot of my posts are about whatever I'm writing at the moment -- I tend to use my journal as a thinking-out loud vehicle for research and discussion of my own fic progress (and get quite surprised when other people occasionally comment on it). I sometimes post about films or books I've seen recently, or about other random parts of my life (cycling or trying to grow plants, for example).

Hello! <3

Name: Kristen
Age: 28
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Open for now, but anything 18+ will be posted as such.

Fannish Interests: Largely video game rpgs, such as Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls Series, Final Fantasy XV, occasionally Pillars of Eternity and the Divinity: Original Sin series. Lately, Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken over, and there's usually an revolving door of fandoms. Probably going to be falling back into Dragon Age with the newest announcement of DA4 has gotten me to replay DA2 for the first time in like 3 years. I also am actively playing in 2 D&D games, as well as DMing a 3rd, so that's probably going to be here too!

I like to post about: While my dreamwidth is new, I've found I like to post a combination of fanfic and personal observations. Some of those may be deeper than others lol. I also like to just journal about my life and the things that happen, so there may be some more personal entries as well.

About Me/Other Info: Other things of interest about me - I recently (as in May of 2018) received my Masters in History, where I focused on British Imperial History during the 19th century. I'm also interested in Ancient Empires, such as the Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian and Roman Empires and I'm trying to branch out and learn more non-Western histories. History in general is a lifelong passion of mine, so it may pop up from time to time. I also know Classical Latin (which, admittedly, is more of a party trick than useful)! I also currently work at a public library, so I am really passionate about education and lifelong learning.

Howdy!
