State of the Fangirl: Twitter, Tumblr and Forthcoming Fics (I hope!)
Hi LiveJournal!
It's been a VERY long time, no post. I do miss everyone, though, and I plan to keep this journal going for fanfic purposes at the very least. I thought I'd write in a explain what's been going on in my fandom life, just in case anyone was curious. Here are the highlights...
Twitter
So I just joined Twitter, in the hopes of figuring out how fandom is operating on the site. Full disclosure, I'm also point person on Twitter at my work (non-fandom update: I graduated college and GOT A JOB. Which is crazy, and I still can't believe it's happened but I'm utterly glad, of course, that it has. Plus I do arts marketing work, which is right up my alley.) so I'm also doing research for work. I'm mostly trying to get a grasp of the site. Is anyone here on Twitter? Does anyone have any comments/thoughts about it? I'd love to hear! My username is @kindofharmony.
Tumblr
I know I've posted about my tumblr before, but I'm still very active on the site so I think it's worth mentioning. Latest/ongoing projects include fanart posters for every episode of Buffy, a really cool book rec meme I got people to submit to (if anyone here has any suggestions, I'd love to add them to the list), and a perpetually growing set of fic recs, because I (still) read way too much fanic. Past projects worth mentioning would have to include Doctor Who fanart posters (one day I'll hopefully get back to making these!), some awfully silly Thoughts on Merlin Episodes, and some drabbles/song-rewrites/fic bits I've written for various fandoms. Plus the usual flailing about with fangirlish enthusiasm. : )
Fanfiction
As far as my own writing goes...er. It's been a while since I've written anything publish-able, but I've been working on some fics for The Social Network. My current project will take much, much longer to write, probably, but I do think it'll pan out in the end. It involves timetravel. I'd very excited! Also, the hellmouth-vsds were just nominated for wicked_awards, which was unexpected and awesome. I didn't think anyone was still reading those, but both shah-of-blah and I were thrilled to hear the news.
Comics
I don't know, I've just gotten really into Marvel comics in the past year. Thought I'd mention it.
And I think that's everything! What's everyone here up to, whether in terms of fandom or personal lives? I'd absolutely love to hear about it!
