Hello, Lovlies!

[magnavox_23]

What a wonderful community! I have been in the fandom space since forever, but I need to be more social (or less anti-social?), so bear with...

Name: 'Adíshní Mags
Age group: Old enough to know better!
Country: The stolen land of Oz (eat the man behind the curtain)
Subscription/Access Policy: Have at it, I rarely post anything personal or locked. My oldest and dearest fandom friends are lifelong sisters today. <3

Main Fandoms: Stargate SG-1 (20+ years), Sherlock (BBC), Our Flag Means Death, Good Omens, Doctor Who, MacGyver,
Other Fandoms: Star Trek franchise (fav DS9), Star Wars franchise, The X Files, The Simpsons, What We Do In The Shadows, Starsky & Hutch, Dark Winds, Sanctuary, there is probably more, too many...
Fannish Interests: I am a little obsessed with making icons. I have icon-ed every episode of Stargate and Sherlock, and am working my way through my other fandoms. I also make wallpapers and photo manipulations. I wrote a little bit back in the day with 117 stories on Ao3. I absolutely love discussing characters, their motivations, intentions, and possibilities! I love reading fic and am just blown away with how fan art has grown, amazing stuff! (Just don't come at me with that AI rubbish.)
OTPs and Ships: Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson (SG-1), Sherlock/John (Sherlock), Edward Teach/Stede Bonnet (OFMD), Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens (I stand with the survivors)), 13th Doctor/Yasmin Khan (Doctor Who), Mac/Nikki (MacGyver), I have no beef with anyone else's ships (I survived the ship wars), and I've taken requests for all kinds of pairing, OT3's and so on. Love is love.

Favourite Movies: I am not a big movie buff, forgive me.
TV Shows: All of the above. I am a sucker for a decent sitcom or the like that I can have on in the background, i.e. Bob's Burgers, Friends, Big Bang Theory, QI, Black Books...
Books: Too many to list, and not particularly fannish. I am very choosy about fiction outside of fandom. I most read non fiction, i.e. comparative mythology, treaty and cultural teachings, and works from my professional field.
Music: Queen, Muse, Placebo, Evanescence, Nightwish, Seether, Nirvana, Kendrick Lamar, Kylie, Lil' Nas X, Radiohead...
I like to post about: I almost exclusively post fan art, happy for anyone to follow purely for that. I have written fan fiction in the past - my last was 2023, some meta, and just anything I find amusing really. I used to post conventions panels, photography, etc, but now I am old and sore. *g* I cross post everything to my Tumblr, and related comms/SM.
About Me/Other Info: I started out on the ol' message boards and forums, I've been on Dreamwidth since the beginning, a Livejournal refugee when the Russians took over and banned 'teh geh'! I was also part of the Tumblr purge (I am still there, I just get around their AI). I will not tolerate any bigotry, racism, misogyny, etc. I am a big ol' godless queer native veggie leftie snowflake.

Mwah! <3

Hello! We have quite a few fandoms in common, I see. In varying degrees, I love Good Omens, Starsky & Hutch, Sherlock, Star Trek, Doctor Who, X-Files...

I'm a veteran of PHP message boards, and Live Journal, although I only came to Dreamwidth a few years ago and I've just recently started lurking on Tumblr. I mostly avoid big social media sites, because the toxicity isn't good for my mental health, but I love Dreamwidth. I enjoy looking at art and icons, so I will definitely subscribe to your journal. Mine is also mostly fannish and I rarely lock anything - nothing really interesting, anyway!

[magnavox_23]

I am definitely with you on the larger social media sites. It’s so depressing with all the hate and bashing of other fans and the fandom itself, and it really feels as though fandom has splintered across so many platforms now, it seems almost impossible to find your people.

Tumblr seems to be the place to find a majority of thoughtful conversations, fiction and arts, though the structure of the site can still be a little confusing for me. (There has been a little resurgence of Starsky & Hutch on my Tumblr feed lately, I need to pay attention to the pages the site is showing me!)

Dreamwidth is that safe space though. I have subscribed back! <3

Sadly, fandom today is just reflecting society in general.

I'm mostly on Tumblr to look at the pretty pictures; it's a place I can browse when I have a few minutes during lunch at work or whatever. I have most of my conversations here at DW.

There is a pretty big and active Starsky & Hutch community on Facebook. Unfortunately, I stopped being able to deal with FB quite awhile ago. That's the only thing I miss about that place.

You're right. This was supposed to be our escape!

[saddlerfan]

Hey there!

We share some fandoms, most notably The X Files (I also like The Simpsons although mostly the early seasons) AND a love for m/m pairings and fanfic (I'm a fic writer), so, this seems like a great basis for things? Oh and I love looking at fanart. Sadly I can't do any of my own since I absolutely suck at drawing anything, lol.

Friends?

(If you don't want to add me it's okay tho, no pressure!)

[magnavox_23]

I am happy to add you!

Love classic Simpsons, but I can definitely appreciate the ups and downs of the show ongoing also. I am a bad X Files fan and haven't gotten around to watching the latest season, eep!

[saddlerfan]

I added you back, thank you so much! And no worries, I don't exactly MIND later X Files seasons but I definitely prefer the older ones!

LJ did not do a very good job of banning teh geh, I have about 14,000 slash fics I wrote on there.

[magnavox_23]

Mr Burns /EXCELLENT!/

I know fans who had their entire accounts wiped, and others untouched, it was a strange algorithm.

14,000 slash fics, solid effort my friend!

Eppppp, we got quite a bit in common - Stargate SG-1 (20+ years), Sherlock (BBC), Doctor Who, MacGyver,
Star Trek franchise, Star Wars franchise, The Simpsons, making icons I own some 20in20 communities, if you're interested in joining and making icons). I also like to make wallpapers. photo manipulations and live on Ao3. Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson (SG-1), Sherlock/John (Sherlock).

Want to try and be friends? No worries if not. :)

[magnavox_23]

Absolutely, love to be friends! \o/ And a fellow fan artist, mwa!

I'd love to check out your icon communities, I haven't done anything, LIMS, etc in YEARS!

[thewizardofoz]

The one's I own that are active at the momeny are these 20in20's: celebrity20in20 (will have signups Monday or soon), characters20in20 and disney_20in20.

Awesome, sounds good. Added back! Thanks for the add. :) Lims?

[magnavox_23]

LIMS = Last icon maker standing. We would do rounds with themes and what not weekly, and the maker with the least amount of votes each week was out of the competition.

[thewizardofoz]

Ah, it sounded familiar but wasn't sure. I knew I heard it from somewhere. Sounds nice though.
