ATTF: New Mod & Friending Meme

The hawk-eyed among you may have noticed that we've added [livejournal.com profile] findthesea to all the modly contact information on the comm. We've now increased the mod team to five people to keep up with you lovely lot! So warm, best bar welcome to [livejournal.com profile] findthesea!

We're also seeing new faces and returning faces in the bar following Age of Ultron, so welcome and welcome back!

And this all seems like a good time for a getting-to-know you, friending style, All The Things Friday. So copy and paste the following into a comment, grab yourself a drink from the bar, and let’s have some fun!



Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)


If you haven’t already read the rules and our post-AOU message please do :)
And if you have any ideas for an ATTF post or would like to host a ATTF the latest sign up post is here!

MCU, comics, or all the things? MCU. I keep wanting to like comics, but the format just doesn't work for me.

How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Just once. It's a miracle that happened at all, because I had a kid in late March.

Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? River in Egypt all the way. Although it's sometimes okay if there's a farm there.

Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: Oh, creativity, I remember when I had time for you. Alas, right now I'm just a consumer.

Rec something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything): A love letter to fandom from The Toast. (http://the-toast.net/2015/05/18/sometimes-fandom-is-better/)

What things do you love to see in fics/creative works, what’re a few of your favourite things? I love me some BFF/partners-falling-in-love and I'm a sucker for really well done hurt/comfort. Also pretty much anything that has Natasha being clever and distant except when she's not.

If someone were to win the lottery and we had a community con (in Budapest, of course), suggest a panel, activity, event etc. you would like there to be: Roleplaying the MCU. Forums, tabletop, M*s, journals, tumblr, WHATEVER, talk to me about your crazy group-built stories!

Any other fandoms: I linger at the edge of fandoms, but I roleplay. Right now it's Mass Effect; next fall, it will be X-Men. I do like a heck of a lot of geeky things, though. Supernatural, The 100, Buffy, BSG, Farscape, a lot of sci fi and fantasy books by authors like Lois McMaster Bujold, Maggie Stiefvater, Robin McKinley, Seannan McGuire/Mira Grant, etc. I'm also pretty into good RPG or strategy video games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout, Tomb Raider, XCOM.

The last book you read/film you watched/song you listened to: Fangirl, which seems oddly appropriate. And Mad Max:Fury Road. Hopefully I do not have to convince anyone here that that movie is awesome. (Wait. Is there any Natasha/Mad Max AU fic? I need that.)

What should a new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ friend? I used to write in LJ constantly and fell away for a while, though I've always read every day. I've recently picked it back up, because I want to chronicle what life's like now that I have a kid (9 weeks tomorrow!). So there's lots of baby stuff. But I also have lots of thinky thoughts about feminism and media and geekdom and write about it fairly frequently. I've been a roleplayer for years and years, so if you're interested in that and want on that filter, let me know. I'm a librarian at a university, so there's a bit of that, too. Most, but not all, of my journal is public.

I'm looking for people who write about interesting things. I don't care what that is. I'm more likely to add you if I can peek at your journal first, so if it's friends-only, give me some hints about what you write about. I love reading fandom stuff and RL stuff and meta and things about the world in general.


Anything extra to add?
I love this community. You guys are great!

I was rather surprised by how lovely it was! It's a book that could definitely only be written by someone who has really been involved in fandom.

I like this list of authors you read. I actually just read The Scorpio Races, years after a friend recommended it to me, and I couldn't put it down!

And congrats on the kid! That's awesome. :)

The Scorpio Races is one of my favorite books in a LONG time. You should pick up Raven Boys!

And thanks!
