Subscription/Access Policy: Personal stuff, whinge/whine posts, and stuff I don't want getting bandied about the internet are generally locked. If I recognise you/you have brilliant opinions/we've been chatting a bit, I'll add you to the access list. Same goes for subscribing to you really as well, though due to the format if you're a high volume poster I'm not likely to.

Main Fandoms: Doctor Who is my current mainline fandom, but MCU/Marvel comics and Sherlock Holmes (and related fandoms as AO3 puts it) also have the staying power

Fannish Interests: I write fic mostly! Sometimes I'll pull out the old Photoshop and make some gifs or edits, but that's few and far between. Same goes for making fsts. Love looking at and squeeing over art though.

Other Info: I listen to a lot of podcasts that range from being fandoms (WTNV, Mabel) to about fandoms (Verity, Fansplaining) and non-fiction (No Such Thing as a Fish, Gastropod). I enjoy baking, crafting and graphic design. I love learning about history and science. I also love cats but don't have one.

Might I suggest:

The Master List of Videogaming Communities on Dreamwidth

Dammit, I pasted in the wrong one. I meant this one:

A Master List of Master Lists of Communities on Dreamwidth

...which is far more general.

I was wondering why you posted that first link, since I mention only one (fairly small and casual) game.

Did spot a couple of comms that I might be interested in, but the ones I'm most interested in I'd already found.

Hello! I've subscribed to you if that's alright-- I see many things on your lists that I am into (Doctor Who! Doctor/Master! Holmes! Young Wizards!) and I also listen to entirely too many podcasts (Verity! is great, I've been a listener since they started).

[grassangel]

Hello! Fair warning though, I've not kept up with YW since about Wizards at War, though the series has influenced my SFF sensibilities. (The chocolate smuggling etc? Classic. The Powers using animals as avatars? Endeared a certain frog to me in the recent series of Doctor Who.)

I only discovered Verity last year when I fell into Doctor Who again, so I've been selectively listening to their archives. For other Doctor Who podcasts I've been limiting myself mostly to antipodean (Australian/New Zealand) or ones with at least one female host. (Exceptions are made for grumpy old men who know they're grumpy old men and poke fun at themselves and also provide excellent fanfic inspiration.)

And that's fine! If it's alright, I might not immediately subscribe to you here but I will follow you on twitter

Hello! Yay for Doctor Who.

I'm mostly a Doctor/Rose shipper with some dabbling in the Doctor/Master and the Doctor/Master/Rose ships.

Yay for baking, graphic design, crafting, history and cats.

[grassangel]

Hullo!
I see you do icons, which I used to do, but then didn't when I went to tumblr because larger graphics were more rigeur. (Also I really loved textures then and not so much psds. I now love colour adjustment layers of course.)

Doctor/Rose isn't necessarily a thing I ship, but I do think it's an important part of their characterisation to at least acknowledge that something was there. Also the art is cute and I had a lot of fun imagining how Rose would approve of Thirteen's hair.

^_^

I used to love doing icons and it's something I've loved picking back up since icons are more fun to make than graphics...

And gif making took me forever and then never seemed to get notes. Plus since I hate using psds it took me forever to color specific scenes.

^_^ Rose would totally adore 13's hair.

I still have to watch the new season. I kind of lost interest during season 7 and then I keep trying the new seasons to see if it goes back to being the show I've loved. I've heard that the new season is great so I'm kind of excited to see if it's back.

Love the cat icon btw.

I don't like using other people's PSDs because I want to do my own colouring and know how to use adjustment layers just fine thank you very much. (I like using gradients and exclusion layers, especially when I can't brain enough for selective colour.)
Gifs are a bit easier once you learn Photoshop CS6 and CC) can trim down clips for you, but I'd never be a 'five minutes after the thing is out' giffer.

Series 7 was a definite low point. I can't remember how I stuck it out but it was probably part obligation, part arrival of a new Doctor at the end of it. Then Missy kept turning up and made things interesting, and series 10 made me fall in love with it again.

Thank you! I've had it for like... seven years now. (And should probably really look at refreshing several of my icons.)
