Welcome to our little OOCT party! Let's have a little get-to-know-you post.

Hi! I'm Sage. china_shop is trapped under something heavy (her WIP!!), so I'm hosting this party along with this group of lovely DS fen. Please say hi to eledhwenlin, lamentables, and monroe_nell! :D

Back in December 2005 the fabulous ds_recs community hosted a fandom social that many of us remember fondly, so I'm

Hi! I guess I'm going first, huh? Okay, I’m plugging: Oh, gosh, I don't even know what I'm plugging. ds_noticeboard? ds_flashfiction? EVERY Due South comm, of which there are more now than ever! Hello, we have an awesome fandom. :D

My TV, small dusty box that it is, only receives 2.5 stations (in English), and is unplugged.

Which is 2.5 stations more (in English) that mine gets. *g*

I don't get Turnbull slash unless the fic has written him a suitably compelling backstory.

This comment pleases me a lot. For totally self-obsessed reasons. My "thing" at the moment is a byzantinely complicated AU going Singer/Songwriter. (As much Stella/Vecchio as K/Turnbull) I am working on it a lot right now and the fundamentals finally seem to be slipping into place. And I have written one hell of a backstory. *grins* How does a skinwalker with a grudge sound? And fateful symmetry.

I'm being obtuse, feel free to prod a proper answer out. I am being very shy with this. Or just leave it alone and tell me something else. Or elucidate on pre-readers, which sounds interestng.

I really can't get Turnbull slash any more because the whole RL Mr Tori Spelling thing freaks me out - my brain just can't put Turnbull and Donna together, it hurts!

Hi! I’m plugging, ummm, I don't know. *g*

Likes: In Due South, I am an inveterate OTPer for Fraser/RayK. I'll read the boys paired with others as long as it is prior to their meeting and/or it ends with my boys together.

Dislikes: I don't read Ray/Ray or FKV because I just don't see it. YMMV I don't like non-con. I have to be in the right mood to read a deathfic

[scriggle]

You are correct. Plugging is very much like pegging. The main difference being size. Or rather girth. It is, as you mentioned, a a nearly foolproof way to prevent mpreg.

Hi Hel!

Hi. I'm plugging inappropriateness. :)

It's one of those things you do so well. *glomps*

[akamine_chan]

Well, I wouldn't call it inappropriateness. I'd call it unfinished...*g*

[clionaeilis]

Hi, I’m Clio, not really promoting myself so much as trying to shift back into writer/participant versus lurker, which I’ve mostly been for a long while now

I'm an idiot

[clionaeilis]

Yeesh - nevermind the depressing Oz link, here's what I should have linked, as a sort of companion piece to my boxathon entry. This one was for ds_flashfiction, for the curtainfic challenge, but I missed the deadline: DisJunctures

[akamine_chan]

I’m a huge film person...

Oh, I totally get that. I worked at a video store for six years...if you didn't love film before, you certainly will afterwards...*g*

[clionaeilis]

six years, wow - what was your favorite left-field film to rec to customers?

[akamine_chan]

Hi! I’m plugging: me, I guess.

Why?: Why not?

Likes: mmm...anything in the C6D 'verse. I have a preference for F/K or F/K/V but I'm flexible - I'll try anything once. I've developed a love of Billy/Joe, Kara/Leoben, CKR/HD, Duck, Buddy and Rollie Saunders. I alternate daily between CKR and PG as my favorites. Don't have much in the way of squicks and my kinks are too numerous to mention...*g*

Dislikes: I'm not a fan of bad writing...beyond that, I'm not picky.

What do you talk about in your LJ?: some RL, the rest is fan-oriented.

Other fandoms I am very interested in: C6D, got here after a short stay in the Firefly fandom, before that it was Final Fantasy VIII. Will read some other fandoms, but not really interested in them.

Other links: c6d_weekly - my baby

[dugrival]

*random smishes*

[clionaeilis]

your baby is a beautiful beautiful thing - c6dweekly is extremely helpful, thanks for all your work on it!

Hi! I'm Meres! Some of you may have seen me around, since I'm nosy and comment all over the place and friend people with great abandon! I'm kind of new. I feel new? But I'm coming up on my one-year LJversary in a month.

I’m plugging: Um? Callum? :D? Also, you should all join the_ckr_files right now. Because it's awesome, and c_regalis would want me to. I'm also plugging zabira! Because she's my internet wife and it's only right that I do that.

Why?: I THINK IT IS SELF-EXPLANATORY, DUDES. If not, please refer to my picspam tag.

Likes: Picspam. Callum Keith Rennie. Paul Gross. Canadian actors of all kinds. Due South. Fraser, Ray, and Ray, but especially Ray Kowalski. Add RayK to anything and I'm pretty much sold. Hard Core Logo. And lots of other stuff. I love my flist best of all

[akamine_chan]

Hi meres! I don't know you, but you seem cool! Wanna be friends??!?? Are you really nosy? Are you some kind of scientist? I've heard all kinds of weird LJ rumors about you - like you're all hip and gangsta and will get up in people's grills...

*g*

[meresy]

Lies! Vicious lies! But you can be my friend anyhow...

[akamine_chan]

Yays!
