More for the LJ crowd but also everyone

[lodessa]

So after writing for Yuletide for the first time ever, getting super into Sherlock, and just generally missing fandom... I am thinking it is time to reinvest. But I am also thinking it is time to possibly recenter onto Dreamwidth. I have been posting/crossposting from Dreamwidth for at least a year maybe more like two but I didn't bother to really find anyone or anything. No plans to stop crossposting, reading, or allowing comments on LJ but more just increasing reading and interacting on DW. So...

1) If you are on Dreamwidth let me know (I am the same on both sites). You can friend me of just give me your username.
2) What communities should I be reading or what exciting new people should I be following (either on LJ or DW)?
3) Is there something I should be into? (Strong preference for tv show or book series fandoms)

ETA:

4) Please make ficlet requests. Feel free to ask for anything you think I might be familiar with (or just ask) and I will let you know if I am not. Fandom and character or pairing and any additional elements/details also would be nice.

Just friended you over here. Hello! *waves*

[lodessa]

Hello, longest standing fannish friend. I just added you back. How are you?

[nentari]

The same, mostly, but pretty good all things considered. You?

[lodessa]

Busy and kind of hectic. I am teaching high school for the first time full time this year so that is eating up most of my time. But overall things are good. I am employed, married now, and just generally things are on the upswing (other than the exhaustion and sickness)

[nentari]

That's great! Well, not the exhaustion and sickness bit, obviously, but all the rest. :)

[lodessa]

Yes. I feel very lucky.

SORRY I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO CALL GUY. Let's talk soon.

Good reading on dw:

skygiants (have met irl!)
crossed_wires
softestbullet
wordsonourbacks
sophia_gratia
bossymarmalade

Things you should watch, in order:

Luther
Nikita
Lost Girl

Oh and also my plastic whatimages wrote a big genderbend Sherlock fic and even though I am very grumpy at Sherlock from afar the fic is really good and I super recommend it so maybe you should be friends with her too.

[lodessa]

I am so supposed to have been asleep for a couple of hours but instead am replying to comments.

Yes. Let's try and talk sometime this week.

Thank you for actual specific suggestions. I am totally subscribing to those people. Although, some of those people seem to not exist?(crossedwires and wordsonourbacks)

Also, I am totally watching Luther currently (midway through series 2) so yay for that.

I possibly have a big thinky post about Sherlock (or possibly reframing fic if I get creative) to post because I am simultaneously in a total love/enjoyment place and a place of massive discontent and frustration.

[allchildren]

Whoops I'm terrible at remembering names. Try wordsATourbacks, and crossedwires with no underscore.

Unfortunately Sherlock has become my new Supernatural... except this time it has claimed my actual friends, and also I want to stab Steven Moffat to death. (But I won't, journal-policing international crime watch. I won't.)

[lodessa]

I am sorry. I know that it is pretty much no fun when everyone else is excited about something you hate.

[allchildren]

It's okay, I make my own fun.
