Addme Intro

 name: AGDoren
age: fandom old
subscrpition policy: none because I don't understand any of this yet

About Me: I live in the US. I've been in fandom for years and have a long list of shows and various pairings that I love though I'm active in only a small portion of those. I mainly write and read fanfic and I'm looking forward to participating in some challenges and maybe even starting a few, we'll see. Honestly I have no idea how this miagration is going to go. I never meant to abandom Livejounal fully but as posting there became more and more difficult I finally gave up and settled on Tumblr. 

While I'm disappointed at what's happened to Tumblr I can't say I'm unhappy that fandom is leaving. While Tumblr might be a great place to advertise one's self it's not so great for building communities and unless you come to the platform with your own friends and relatiionships developed it can be a hugely disappointing and shallow experience.

Main fandoms: Star Trek: TOS, DS9 and Disco, Doctor Who, DCEU and MCU including but ot limited to: The Flash, Black Lightning, The Defenders, Daredevil,Luke Cage, Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Thor, The Avengers, Iron Man, Star Wars, How to Get Away With Murder, Elementary, The Haunting of Hill House,  there are other that I'm either not thinking of or no longer consider myself active in.

Main ships: Michael Burnham/Gabriel Lorca aka USS Archangel aka Lorcham, WestAllen, IronPrincess, Nellie Crane/Arthur Vance, Chidi Anyagonye/Eleanor Shellstrop. These are ships that I actively seek or create content for but my shipping preferences aren't limited to these and I have a lot of others that I enjoy and will discuss or fangirl over at the drop of a hat.
 
Activities: I primarily write and read fic and meta from time to time.

What you'll find on my journal: my journal is primarily fic and music for my fics, meta and occasionally something personal that I need to talk about somewhere.

Addme and I'll definitely check you out, I'm also persuing the addme section looking for new friends so feel free to say hi.

Yo, I'm also into Black Panther and Thor, so I am friending you!

[strangesistas_writings]

yahhhh! Checked out your blog and friending you back. I really loved the last three seasons of Buffy.

[lilladyeva]

Yes! Another Elementary fan! Also Chidi and Eleanor! So much love for them. Definitely adding you.

[strangesistas_writings]

I have a quiet and persistent love for Elementary. Whenever I think about Joan and Sherlock's friendship it makes me happy. Then sometimes i want them to date and then I think their relationship should never be romantic, but one thing that never changes is my persistent love for them and then everyone else on that show. I hope we get to see Bell in season 7.

[lilladyeva]

I do love Sherlock and Joan's friendship. I never want them to date. I see Sherlock as a great aromantic character. I do love all the characters on that show. Also hoping for more Bell.

We have common in MCU and I suspect something of a horror bent, though for different stuff. Hello?

[strangesistas_writings]

Hi, we definitely have things in common. MCU and I love horror, supernatural stuff (if it's smart) and also psychological thrillers. I'm currently obsessing over The Haunting of Hill House. It didn't scare me, but most horror doesn't anymore so that was fine, but it also didn't depend on scariness to make it interesting or enjoyable.

I also like reading creepypasta and no sleep reddit.

[gnutmeg]

I definitely need friends who don't scare. I've gotten too used to warning people about things like Daredevil. ;)

Rarely Scared

[strangesistas_writings]

Not only am I rarely scared by horror but I love a brutal, bloody, inelegant fight scene like the kind they have in Daredevil. Miss me with your years of special magical training to be the ultimate best ever and give me someone who picked it up on the streets and struggles through every battle. (I know Matt trained with Stick, but I like the chaotic roughness of it).

Every now and again I'll get scared by something. The first and third Paranormal Activity scared me. I had to sleep with the light on.

Re: Rarely Scared

[gnutmeg]

I squick more than I scare. Like I love the Saw films but I have to look away when there's self mutilation. But I definitely love the darkness and gritty nature. I always hope DD will go just a step further, tbh, but they always provide one really satisfying fight per season at least.

I usually end up being the big creepy sister watching out for friends with triggers and such.

[texelations]

I'm adding you for MCU and Chidi/Eleanor.

You might also find my challenge comm interesting: starlightchallenge

[strangesistas_writings]

subscribed to both your blog and your challenge blog. I missed challenges from Livejournal so much, thank you.

Hello!

*adds you*

I ended up doing the same thing. Migrating away from DW for Tumblr but now migrating back and I'm not unhappy that fandom is migrating but I am worried about losing friends.

We have a lot of fandoms in common and I really need to watch The Good Place. I haven't seen anyone not raving about it. ^_^

[strangesistas_writings]

Losing friends is the main thing. I think some of them will migrate, but others might just linger on Tumblr or quit fandom altogether. :(

[dani_meows]

Yeah... I'm sad about the losses too. It was that way when LJ went down and Fanfiction.Net... etc.

[dreamy_dragon73]

Another Star Trek and Doctor Who fan!
~waves~ 
I ship Burnham/Lorca, too.
You might find spacefungusparty interesting. Also I hope it's OK to add you.

[strangesistas_writings]

Adding me is fine and it's always great to find another Lorcham shipper. FYI I have a Lorcham community on Tumblr and Discord. Let me know if you're interested in either.

[dreamy_dragon73]

Definitely interested!
I do have a tumblr account, but I rarely go there and if I do it's mostly for the pretty pics. Tbh, I much prefer the more communicative structure of DW.
What is Discord?
~iz a dinosaur~ 

[strangesistas_writings]

In my case Discord is my poorly managed chat, in desperate need of new blood, hahaha. It's basically a chat service that started out for gamers but a lot of fandoms are trying to use it now.

I have been thinking about doing a comm here, but idk yet.

[dreamy_dragon73]

Will keep an eye on Discord!

I have been thinking about doing a comm here
Do it! Burnham/Georgiou seems to be very popular ship around here, but I'm sure there are more Burnham/Lorca shippers here as well.

Lorcham Comm

[strangesistas_writings]

Part of me wants to. I really want to completely disengage from Tumblr, but I wonder if it should be strictly Lorcham or just a more general Star Trek commm. Like I've been thinking of a WOC Star Trek comm ships, Lorcham included would be a part of it, but I think it would be a stronger comm if it's a little broader.

[madeinessos]

Black Panther, Daredevil, Iron Man, yes please!

[strangesistas_writings]

Woohoo! welcome friend. :D
