Name: izzy
Age group: 20s
Country: NZ
Subscription/Access Policy: whatever! don't like, don't read.

Main Fandoms: Willow (the 2022 TV show), currently rewatching Buffy and loving it (especially Faith my beloved), Deadloch (can't wait for tomorrow!!!), We Are Lady Parts, North of North... basically anything with a strong woman-heavy cast and a bit of humour. I love Dan and Phil, they're my dudes, but I'm not especially a shipper. Deeply obsessed with Little Mix, Renee Rapp and Towa Bird at the moment too...
Fannish Interests: I write fic - a lot of RPF, a lot of femslash!, I like reading meta (and being right... of course), I vid a little, I'm really interested in fandom archiving work and getting involved in fandom-first sites like Dreamwidth, Fanlore, and smaller archives. I call myself a fan of fandom itself!

I like to post about: Things I'm reading/writing/watching. I'd love book/tv recs for sapphic/woman-heavy sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, etc. Maybe my in-progress romance novel & the writing process! Pop music/culture ~~(don't forget I liked Chappell Roan before she was cool).~~
About Me/Other Info: To quote an incredibly dated yet formative show for me, Faking It (2014): the best way to get to know me is to understand the things I hate. These include:

Genre fiction that gives lip service to queer politics but is ultimately politically conservative or regressive,
Everything that's going on with the proliferation of pull-to-publish fanfiction. Respect your roots!
Being anti-RPF but still caring about celebrities/not knowing the meaning of the word parasocial but still throwing it around,
The general hellscape of late stage capitalism and the panopticon,
Taylor Swift.

Current Mood: bouncy
Current Music: Lip Service - JADE

Name: I go by angrybubbles, or Mr. Bubbles online :)
Pronouns: I use any and all
Age group: Late 20s
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: 18+ only please! My journal is primarily public, but I will hide Meta or Analysis I'm shy about in access-only entries.
Other Info: I'm a college student, and media analysis is my hobby. Since I'm a Vampire Chronicles person, you'll probably see discussions of dubcon, grooming, incest, and abuse on my page, so please approach carefully. I do have a Harry Potter ship in my OTP's, but I'm not touching the series again until that woman is safely dead.

Main Fandom: AMC's Interview with the Vampire
Other Fandoms: Mob Psycho 100, Mushishi, Fullmetal Alchemist (any media), Dandadan, Kuroshitsuji,
Fannish Interests: I write fanfic, draw fanart (occasionally), but I primarily post analysis or short stories. Lots of Gothic Horror around these parts.
OTPs and Ships: Daniel Molloy/Armand, Armand/Louis de Pointe du Lac, Marius de Romanus/Armand, Claudia de Pointe du Lac/Madeleine Eparvier, Elizabeth Midford/Ciel Phantomhive, Harry Potter/Tom Riddle|Voldemort, Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku,

Favourite Movies: Basically every Ghibli Film ever, Speed Racer, and Talk Radio.
TV Shows: AMC's Interview with the Vampire, AMC's The Talamasca, Fellow Travelers, The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Books: The Daevabad Trilogy, Sha Po Lang (Stars of Chaos), Heaven Official's Blessing (Tian Guan Ci Fu), Little Thieves, The Nevernight Trilogy, The Illuminae Files, Dark Rise, The First Sister series (Linden A Lewis), The Dandelion Dynasty, and Viscious (V.E.Schwab).
Music: I listen to a lot of OST's: currently obsessed with Mushishi's OST, and Iron Lung's OST. Otherwise, I listen to Pop Punk and Rock.
Games: I don't really play video games, much. I grew up playing Diablo, and have put 200+ hours into Diablo 3.
Comics/Anime/Misc: Not a comic-book person, but I'm definitely an anime freak. The ones listed above, but also Hunter x Hunter, Psycho Pass, The Ranking of Kings, Soul Eater, Yuri on Ice, Sailor Moon, Dungeon Meshi, Boku no Hero Academia, Card Captor Sakura, Princess TuTu, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Fairy Tail, Hyouka, Detective Conan, Fate/Stay Night and Madoka Magica. I'm sure there's plenty of others, too, but I haven't had time to sit down and watch a new anime in a while (Dandadan is the exception to this).

Current Mood: happy

addme

Name: Harper

Age: I was on LJ in the early 2000s if that tells you anything

I mostly post about: IRL things currently, but I might post thoughts about media I consume or happenings in the world occasionally. I don't really post fannish things often even though there are fandoms I enjoy. Most of my journal is currently public.

My hobbies are: reading, tinkering, learning languages (Spanish primarily), video games, listening to podcasts and being in nature when the weather and my body allow for it.

My fandoms are: Star Trek (TNG, DS9, VOY primarily), Baldur's Gate 3, Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Orville, The Sims and similar games (I am so excited for Paralives y'all).

I'm looking to meet people who: Post about their lives and passions. I enjoy hearing about hobbies and interests, even if they aren't my own.

My posting schedule tends to be: I strive for at least weekly, sometimes more sometimes less.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, sexism, transphobia, queerphobia, fundamentalism or anything supporting the fascists.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm neurodivergent and mostly anti-AI. LLM technology has its place, but in its current form I feel it has been actively harmful for humanity and is being used as a giant grift by tech oligarchs. It is most definitely not a replacement for human created art and knowledge.

Current Mood: mellow

addme_fandom

Name: Sam
Age group: Early 20's
Country: Australia
Subscription/Access Policy: I don't have anything that isn't public rn, that could change, I'm new to dreamwidth so still figuring everything out.

Main Fandoms: Haikyuu!, sk8 the infinity, Cute high earth defense club LOVE!, Cute high earth defense club HAIKARA,
Other Fandoms: Powerpuff Girls Z, Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun, WataNare
Fannish Interests: I read a lot of fanfiction, and write it too, but I write slower than I can read, lol
OTPs and Ships: Nanjo Kojiro/Sakurayashiki Kaoru (sk8), Miya Atsumu/ Suna Rintarou (haikyuu), Bokuto Koutarou/Kuroo Tetsurou (haikyuu), Kozume Kenma/Yamamoto Taketora (haikyuu), Nishinoya Yuu/Tanaka Ryuunosuke (haikyuu), Kuroo Tetsurou/Sawamura Daichi (haikyuu)

While these are my main ships in haikyuu, I have read all sorts of ships and if the story is well-written I will read most ships for haikyuu. Miya Atsumu/ Suna Rintarou (haikyuu) is my ultimate long standing favourite though.

I also have ships that have stuck around even tho I'd say I have left the fandom, mainly Voltron and BNHA, I left BNHA cause I dropped the show years ago and now only read fics of a couple of my favourite pairings that don't go into the actual plot of the show (I do not plan to pick it back up). Whereas with Voltron I was there as the last season at least was dropping but I only go back occasionally only for certain tropes or certain ships.

These ships are primarily, Bakugou Katsuki/Kaminari Denki (BNHA), Lance/Shiro (Voltron).

I like to post about: I've been posting my fanfiction so far, may post some original work, may post some reviews of whatever I'm watching or whatever, may post about stuff that comes up as I learn Japanese that I find interesting.
About Me/Other Info: I'm a writer, read a lot of BL manga and watch BL shows. I love mind reading and fake dating as tropes, especially. I dabble in truth potion/serum works quite a bit too. (If I'm being honest, in most of the fandoms I read for I've read almost every mind reading fic on ao3 and even started just reading random pairings for fandoms I'm not in just cause I wanted to read mind reading as a trope)

I would love to brainstorm haikyuu fanfic with others, or talk about the show especially.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

add_a_writer

Name: Tally

About Me: After going through a few years of really dire health problems, I'm finally back at a hundred percent and I'm getting back into Dreamwidth and back into writing! I also do some drawing/painting.

About My Journal: I post a lot about writing, reading, my various fandoms, and some artwork as well.

What I Write: Fantasy, sci-fi, and horror! I love deep worldbuilding and lore and creating magic systems! Occasionally, I'll dabble in romance or erotica. The current novel I'm working on is a high fantasy adventure with enemies-to-lovers!

What I Don't Write: Slice of life stuff, or most genre fiction besides the ones I mentioned above.

What I Read: My favorites are the same genres I write in, but I'll give just about any type of book a read!

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: Sure!

What I'm looking for here: To connect with other people who like to chat about writing—the process, the progress, the pitfalls, all of it! I've connected with a couple of writers on Dreamwidth so far, and joined a few writing communities on here, and it's been great! Looking for more of that same camaraderie. Ideally we'd check out each other's journals from time to time to comment and connect!
