Nice to see you again, and to hear things have been going well - it's always odd when people vanish a bit... *g* I'm still here, and I'm still only Pros-y though, so I won't be offended if you'd rather defriend... (I'm clearly not a real "fan", it's still just Bodie/Doyle for me, not matter how much I loved The Hobbit - totally agree with you about the scenery and the digressions, btw! - and Doctor Who and so on... *g*)
Nice to see you again too! And my apologies for the inadvertant disappearing act.
No chance of defriending--I still adore Bodie and Doyle, and what's this bollocks about real fans anyway? Back when I was a baby fan and first found Starsky and Hutch fandom (well, I was 27, which at the time *was* a baby to the S/H regulars) I was convinced that the proper fans really were the ones who stuck with a show for decades, and I was just a dilettante butterflying about without the nous to sit down and get to know a show properly! How times change!
I will probably hit you up for recs at some point, btw. :)
I aten't dead either. My fan fiction writing ability seems to be...less than healthy...but not quite dead. My latest story is sort of RPF, the first I've ever written, if you can count a "what happened next" story for a non-fiction book about North Korean defectors as RPF. (Yuletide, your source for horribly obscure fandoms. *grin*)
I'm looking forward to seeing if any good dwarf fiction comes out of the Hobbit too--though I haven't seen it yet myself. Life has been a bit hectic lately, since I'm leaving for Costa Rica on Monday where I will be for three months, and I'm still trying to get everything organized. Or something approaching organized. Or, you know, at least making sure I'm not homeless once I get there.
Wow, I think that out-obscures any obscure fandom I've ever come across! I like it, though it's quite an uncomfortable piece in its way.
(I have written a quite ridiculous amount of fic in my 2 RPF fandoms -- well, ridiculous by my standards anyway. For some reason, fictional fandoms don't seem to spawn the same kind of incessant creativity for me, which I suppose is kind of a shame given the inherent creepiness of RPF.
So far all the Dwarffic I've seen has been competent but non-ground-breaking movie fare. But I'm still dipping my toes in, so we shall see, really.
Have a great time in Costa Rica! And don't end up sleeping under a bridge there.
