HI... Callie is spreading the word about "the newbie in our midst". I thought i'd come over & say hi & let you know that it is never too late to join in the fandom, and help Callie pull you kicking & screaming from the closet!
I have only been here since March, spending most of my first month backreading one of my favourite comms. I delurked at the end of April, and am now totally wrapped up in iconning, writing and participating in comms & discussions with friends. The LJ experience would be nothing without the friends I have made by being out and proud.
So welcome, and I look forward to seeing you around the place :)
Hi there! Callie's right, no reason not to be out and proud. There are a lot of non-lurkers who hardly update their own LJ but do a lot of good encouraging authors by commenting - There's a place for everyone on LJ, you just wait and see ... so basically, you just do whatever feels most comfortable to you :D And I think, doing the open perv thing, as e.g. staring at this icon *points*, is one of the reasons why a lot of LJ friends are bonding so closely, after you've talked about B/J and every kind of (gay) sex, there's hardly anything left to hide LOL
Anyway, welcome to LJ, I'm sure you'll have a good time. And for B/J goodies it is totally indispensible! I saw you already friended some of the big ones and the important communities, so off the top of my head, I'd say you might want to check out teary_eyed2, xie_xie_xie, triciaqaf, 1daftpunk, _alicesprings, url_girl, _in_babylon, paddies, and severina2001 for fic and fandom matters. There are lots of more VIP's, but these might give you a nice view into the heart of things :D Feel free to snoop around on everyone's user page and check their f(riends)-lists, always a nice
( ... )
I want to write everyone who commented back and say different things and am already finding it hard on #2 - but I have seen a bunch of those writers around retread and who knows where else but will go check out their lj's too - thx for the suggestions and the friendliness :).
Housing policy? I'm a resident manager for a tax credit property, are you in my business?
Oh, sorry. Hi! I'm vlredreign, callie89's lj wife. Welcome to the asylum. Meds will be dispensed soon, along with copious viewings of *this scene* (points to icon) from 107.
I'm a bit obsessed with 107. Ask anybody. And a full fledged perv.
You lived in SF? I'm in Sacramento. Whoa, little world, yeah?
Ummm...anyway, we don't bite. Unless you want us to. Come play!
BTW, I was gonna use my seriously pervy 107 icon, but I don't wanna scare you off, so I'll use the non-moving one that Callie made for me.

[RL comments: Okay, so maybe not everyone is uninterested in what I spend my (paid) time thinking about. Yup, you and I are in the same business, roughly. You do the hard stuff like implementing the crazy crap the gvmt comes up with and that my organization researches, hypothesizes will suck for poor people, and critiques. And, I don't live in SF anymore, but I used to and miss it.]
No screaming here about the 107 icon :D. The only DVD's I have are season 1, so, umm...I'm familiar with it, and you cannot deny the hotness. Just not sure when I'll put it on a post. But, to do that I'd have to figure out how to even use an icon - lol - since that didn't happen this weekend 'cause I was playing outside.

Ah, so that lease rider is your fault!!! lol
We'll have to discuss this stuff at length sometime.
Using the icons are relatively easy. You go to the My LJ prompt, and click on Upload Userpics. Then, you can upload pics from your hard drive, and the best part is, LJ will resize them for you if they're too big. callie89 has tons at her LJ that you can download, as does paddies, who has loads of gif icons. Give a shout if you need help. And feel free to check my user info page, I have a lot there that I don't mind sharing.
Here's Brian looking oh so pretty! *I'm such a perv!*

Do you have to have a non-basic account to have the moving icons?

Umm...that's the icon I was gonna use. Okay, if you don't run screaming from it, we're good. *g*
