| Looking for folks to talk to/communities to participate in |
[12 Jul 2009|10:42am] |
I'm a mostly former livejournal'er who came over here with some friends looking to get away from LJ's continuing decent into censorship and to get away from the weird Russian spam-bots that seem to popping up more frequently. I have the following interests:
Fandom and stories - Just fandom as a culture itself. Sure, I love Firefly. V, comics, music, weird history (and all of it's weird), '80's anything, the extended Star Trek and Star Wars universes (up to a point) and a ton of other works. Mostly though I'm a fan of fans and a fan of storytelling. I love it when people geek out and tell me fun stories about why they love this band or how that show changed their lives.
Interactive Storytelling/Role-playing - I think the idea of open source can and should apply to creative projects as well so long as all people are willing to help and on the same page. I love being involved with fixing up old fandoms and working on new works in a group setting. Friends of mine and I have already started a few role-playing games out here.
Librarianship - I'm planning on going into a school library and I hope to work with special ed and have a good chunk of my practice deal with non-text based materials. I'd love to talk shop with other librarians, teachers, or people with a serious love of literacy and research.
Politics - Overall, I'm a Truman-type liberal who misses sane Barry Goldwater-esque conservatives to talk to.
My downsides: If you google "Capricorn/Dragon" I'm pretty much a stereotype otherwise...generally too intense for my own good; swears; occasionally uses the caps lock key instead of the bold function, occasionally omits a word while typing and kicks herself for it later.
