Being Friendly

[ithildin]

Pillaged almost in its entirety from kalquessa because I'm basically lazy and her memory appears to be as bad as mine [g]

Hi, friends list! There are a bazillion and a half of you! Wow. And I have a really terrible memory, so I have a hard time remembering who you all are sometimes, and which fandoms I have in common with whom, and I'm kind of curious where I came by most of you, because I can't remember in many cases. Some of you just flit by now and again, which is always a treat, and some of you have become regulars on my comment threads, which is its own kind of yay. Anyway, to steal the words of the meme:

I'd really appreciate if all of you f'list folks, wherever you fall on the spectrum, would come on by and say "hi" here. (Re)-introduce yourself, maybe mention how you ended up friending me, any fandoms we may share, tell me something random about yourself, whatever you like.

In other words, talk to me, peeps!

Oh thank you for the chance to whore publicize myself the fandom in which I am heavily involved.

I shall always be a Tolkienite/Hobbit Freak, so the LOTR fandom is a given, but I havent swum in those waters for quite some time. My fandom got completely taken over by a character created by Patrick O'Brian, which then became a fandom for the actor that played that character in a movie that came out in 2003 ("Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World") - and in getting into THAT fandom found a couple of fanfiction sites where I met some really amazing and delightful people. I am currently the webmaster for a fanfiction site that has rejuvenated itself by making it possible for consistent updates for both the 'old' writers and the new fans that have shown up in the fandom.

The Gaslight Hotel Gateway (http://www.gaslighthotel.net/gateway/home.html)

What the Gaslight contains is an Alternate Universe for the various different characters portrayed by Russell Crowe (there are NO stories that involve the actor himself) and the writers strive hard to keep the characters in canon (ie if the character that Crowe plays was gay in the movie to begin with, then we expect the stories to continue the characterization, but we do not accept slash stories that change the basic nature of the characters.)

I cant remember how we met - I think it must have been the POB love...LOL...not sure...
