3 Sentence Ficathon Friending Meme

[rthstewart]

Wow, so we're well over 3000 comments and fills and every time I think it's getting quiet, 10 more notifications show up.  I'm skimming a lot of it, and have noticed a few bumps that seemed resolved before I could do anything.  You all are awesome.  I've seen lots of posting on AO3 too.  I'm closing the 3 SF in 2 weeks, on March 8, and then we'll do it again next year!

So, here's the opportunity to get to know one another, if you like.  Share who you are, where you hang out, and what your interests are.  I'll start in comments.

I am older than compost and as the handle says, have been hiding fandom in the underwear drawer since 1977 (and actually earlier than that because I think my very first fandom focus was the very old Dark Shadows. My first online fandom was Star Wars and I still play there sometimes. The vast majority of my friends today I have met through fandom over the last 20+ years. I left fandom in about 2001 to do other things like family and career and with the collapse of the world economy due to the conduct of evil investment bankers in 2008-09, got back into it with Narnia. In a Big Way. But I've followed most of the major things over the years except Supernatural and Sherlock. I have gotten super, super busy at work since January of last year and that's meant less time for fun writing.

I've got a short story in Athena's Daughters 2, an anthology of speculative fictions written by women, edited by women, and illustrated by women and I"m super excited about that. I most recently have been working out to The Librarians, Agent Carter, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Star Wars Rebels, Elementary, and Musketeers. I gave up on Sleepy Hollow and OUAT. Also, I have a deep focus on British cooking shows having DVRd 2 seasons of Britain's Master Chef Professionals and I fear for my time commitments if I start watching British Bake Off.

I fell into fandom in 2002, by way of Harry Potter, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting out any time soon. *wry* These days I mostly write for Homestuck and Narnia, but I've been multifannish for a long time and I read for many more things than I write. I only know most television fandoms via internet osmosis since I have some issues with audiovisual media in general.

[alexseanchai]

Hi you look like a shiny person! *subscribes* Do not feel any obligation to subscribe back or grant access.

Oh, also that comment I just left you (as elliemurasaki) about your Yu-Gi-Oh! fic being my new headcanon? May I use the idea as background for the Yu-Gi-Oh! fic I'm writing? Because is so cool and also makes such sense given actual canon.

[edenfalling]

Please feel free to use it -- headcanons exist to be shared. :-)

[alexseanchai]

\o/ Thanks!

[marmota_b]

I'm glad to hear you say that, because your headcanon on English in Narnia is my headcanon now.

[edenfalling]

:-) It's not even entirely my own notion, you know! I nabbed part of it from, IIRC, adaese -- the bit where the Narnian world's universal language was 'set' by Frank singing a hymn in English before Aslan starts his own world-creating song.

[rthstewart]

Which is and remains a gorgeous bit of head canon...

[marmota_b]

Ah, in that case I'm using... a headcanon that goes around? Either way, thank you everyone for it!

[qaayin]

Hey, I'm Seth Naoya~ (using Naoya here--I go by Cain and Qayin as well).
I am qaayin on Dreamwidth, quietlynaoya on Tumblr, SimpleSeth on AO3, and qaaaayin on Twitter.
I'm most active in the Shin Megami Tensei and Abrahamic mythology fandoms (is there an Abrahamic mythology fandom?), though I've written and participated in quite a few.

[rthstewart]

Is there Abrahamic mythology fandom? Tell us more! Thanks so much for coming by and joining in! Friending OK?

I'm a member of the Baker Street Babes Podcast, the web's only all-female Sherlock Holmes podcast, and a couple of Holmes fan groups online and offline. Holmes in all his incarnations has been very dear to me for as long as I can remember. I'my especially into the Granada series with Jeremy Brett, Elementary, and the Mary Russell books. Other fandoms I have played in include a lot of the C6D fandoms, Marvel comics, and currently I'm very into Shakespeare in a fannish way. I volunteer at the Globe Theatre here in London so I see quite a bit of it, and the Social Shakespeare readthroughs on tumblr have done a lot for me as well.
Recently I've been watching Haven, Almost Human, The Musketeers, and Orphan Black.
I also like my folk music and go to filk cons for listening and hanging out with awesome people.

Hi! I'm Andrew (not Andy) Wells. wellinghall on LJ and other places.

Not normally a fan fiction writer or reader, but this is changing.

Big Tolkien fan (member of the Tolkien Society for mumble mumble years), also Lord Peter Wimsey, Connie Willis, and quite a lot of other things.

Greetings!

[heliopausa]

Hello! That's lovely news about your fan fiction writing! I look forward to more Swannage (and others). :)

Re: Greetings!

I am mostly into Yu-Gi-Oh! at the moment but that could change at any moment—hopefully it won't because I really want to get this fic novel series (or at least the first such novel) done in a timely fashion, but my fannish interests have changed on the drop of a dime before. Other fannish things I enjoy are Sailor Moon (Classic and Crystal, though I am behind on Crystal and desperately need to full-series-rewatch Classic), October Daye, and Greek mythology. I used to be way into Harry Potter and Supernatural but not so much anymore.

I have waaay too many original novel ideas and not nearly enough time to write them all.

[ardyforshort]

Aw yay Toby Daye! I love those books.

[alexseanchai]

[moon_blitz]

Hello, I'm Sparky, but I also answer to Kih!

Tumblr: moon-blitz
AO3: Moon_Blitz
LJ: moon_blitz

I'm a big Doctor Who fan, but I also love anime in general - everything from big series like Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh! to tiny series that not many people have heard of. I'm also working my way through the (many) Kamen Rider series, as well as Tolkien's works although I'm not in either fandom yet. I also read a variety of manga series. I'm a fanfic writer, though I'm reading more than I'm writing at the moment.

[rthstewart]

Thanks so much for coming by and joining in! Friending OK?

[moon_blitz]

Thanks for hosting this! And yeah, go ahead and friend me!

(Sorry for the delay in replying, I didn't get an e-mail notification for this, and just now spotted it in my inbox)

[zdenka]

There's not much point in following this account, since I don't post on DW, but I can also be found at:

LJ: lignota
AO3: Zdenka

My main fandom these days is the Silmarillion. I am also interested in the Vorkosigan series, a bunch of anime and manga (including Utena and Rurouni Kenshin), Korean drama, opera, Gilbert & Sullivan, mythology/fairy tales/folklore, and a number of Yuletide-sized book fandoms.

[rthstewart]

Ack, I had a response and then lost it when I ran off to leave Vorkosigan prompts. Thanks so much for coming over! I do love your fandoms! Do you hang out anywhere if not here?

[zdenka]

Thanks! And thank you very much for hosting!

I still use my LJ account, and I follow a bunch of mostly Tolkien-based LJ comms like lotr_community and tolkien_weekly and silwritersguild (and right now, b2mem for Back to Middle-earth month). For posting fic, it's mostly AO3; I have an account on ff.net but I don't always remember to update it, and I cross-post Tolkien stuff on Many Paths to Tread. And I do as many fic exchanges as I can manage (again, mostly on LJ, though many of them have DW mirrors): Yuletide and Purimgifts and Jukebox Fest and things like that. :)

[marmota_b]

Is it okay to ask you about your name? I need to ask about your name (or username or whatever). Is it Czech?

[zdenka]

It's totally okay to ask! I personally took the username from the character Zdenka in Richard Strauss's opera Arabella. There are Czech people named Zdenka, but I'm not sure where the name originated from.

[marmota_b]

I'm not sure myself, but it's the female form of Zdeněk in Czech, and apparently (I've looked) there are variants in South Slavic languages as well.

[zdenka]

Then you know more about it than I do! I just snagged a name from a character that I liked. I don't have cultural ties to that area, if that was the question.

[marmota_b]

It more or less was, because I'm Czech myself. :-)

[zdenka]

Oh, okay! Sorry for being slow on the uptake. And I didn't mean to be telling you what was going on with names in your own country, whoops. I should have just said that I don't know. *embarrassed*

But no, just an opera fan.

[marmota_b]

No, it didn't come out sounding that way!
And I learned something new, too - not really an opera fan here, although I do enjoy classical music (at least definitely some of it, anyway).

[transposable_element]

Hi. I go by transposable_element and variations thereon, depending on things like character limits and whether capitalization is allowed. I refer to my husband and daughter as Maritus and Filia, respectively. In real life we are all called other things.

I can be found on AO3.

I've been involved in science fiction fandom for a very long time, but I only started writing fanfic about two years ago. I started out writing Narnia fanfic, but I have been branching out slowly into other areas. This ficathon has been great for encouraging me to try out new characters and settings that I wouldn't dare approach otherwise.

My favorite neglected fandom is Zilpha Keatley Snyder's Green Sky trilogy; really, more fic needs to be written in this setting! I have found next to nothing on AO3 or ff.net, so if fic exists it's somewhere else. I have written a few short Green Sky pieces myself and have begun planning a more substantial work (a prequel to the trilogy), but that's on the back burner right now because I am also trying to finish my master's thesis in molecular biology.

[rthstewart]

It's wonderful to have you over here and joining the fun and doing so many wonderful prompts and fills!

[transposable_element]

Thanks! As you can probably tell, I've been having a ball.

i've never done one of these before

[archersangel]

DW: archersangel

blogspot: thoughts & things (archersangel)


i'm a fan/into (to varying degrees) of star trek (not the new stuff) star wars, stagate: sg-1, harry potter, james bond (not the new stuff), ancient rome, egypt, & greece. as well as history in general & reading over-all. for further interests, please see my DW profile & my DW introductory post.

i don't really write fic, except for the 3-sentences things (link to the tag for those at my DW) & the old sg1_five_things now defunct (link to the tag for those at my blog)

Re: i've never done one of these before

[rthstewart]

Wonderful to have you and thanks so much for joining in. Is friending OK? Any prompts you are interested in for our final days?

Re: i've never done one of these before

[archersangel]

friending is fine. i don't know if there's anything else, i'll have to look. and thank you for hosting this again, i always have fun with doing these things.

[reeby10]

Hi, I'm Rebecca! :) I'm reeby10 nearly everywhere, but currently voldiebuns on tumblr. I'm on AO3, tumblr, LJ, twitter, and FFN (though that's all old stuff).

I'm a twentysomething recent college grad trying to find a job in publishing. I watch way too much tv and collect way too many books. I like sewing, crafting, anthropology, quidditch (I played in college!), and Southern Gothic music. I dabble in pretty much any writing medium and am trying to improve my photoshop skills.

I've been in fandom for about 8 years and have a terrible habit of hoping fandoms and being involved in way more fandoms at one time than I probably should. I've been into various anime fandoms, Sherlock, and Teen Wolf, but my biggest current fandoms are Marvel (MCU, Young Avengers, and Ms. Marvel primarily), Harry Potter, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, and Gotham. I'm also into Star Trek, The Librarians, Leverage, Jupiter Ascending, Grimm, The Flash, Sleepy Hollow, MisSpelled, Better Off Ted, Almost Human, Welcome to Night Vale, Young Justice, Person of Interest, and probably a lot more I've forgotten at the moment. But I can be convinced to give nearly anything a try :)

[rthstewart]

Nifty! Thanks so much for coming by and joining in! You are braver than I -- I gave up on Sleepy Hollow this season by LOVED the season finale. Maybe it will come back? And I so enjoyed the Librarians. Friending OK?

[reeby10]

Thank you for hosting! It's been a ton of fun so far :)

I'm a bit iffy on Sleepy Hollow now tbh, but I'm holding out hope they'll pull it together lol But the Librarians did not disappoint at all!

Yes, friending is great!

[heliopausa]

Hello! I'm known by several versions of the same name in a few different places:
heliopausa on Dreamwidth
heliopausa on livejournal
heliopause on ffnet
Heliopause on AO3
heliopause on narniafanfiction.net

With all due deference to our noble host, I'm older than older than compost! :) I started writing fanfic in 2012, and have mostly written Narnia, so far. I joined DW at the time of Ruth's last 3SF - I love the way it lets us play around, testing out fandoms and stray ideas and writing styles and having fun generally. I'm not sure where I'll go from here, in writing; time to start a new book-length fic, I think, though work is about to swallow a lot of time.

[syrena_of_the_lake]

Hello everyone! I'm Syrena, and I have been an avid reader but rarely-posting-lurker for quite literally years. I was writing Star Wars before I knew what fanfic was, and I have dabbled in Narnia and Harry Potter but never posted anything until now. This 3SF has been so much fun, though, and you all have been so welcoming that I've decided to take the plunge! My pages are pretty empty now, but I intend to gradually start posting content here on DW and on AO3, as time allows of course... and as I figure out how to use the websites :-p

I have long been a fan of anything and everything by C.S. Lewis and by Tolkien; my TV fandoms range from Star Trek: Voyager, a sentimental favorite, to Agent Carter and Forever (with the Welsh actor who played Hornblower, another literary sentimental favorite of mine). I love anything to do with Spain, and I feel most at home on the shore of a lake in the north woods - preferably with a book or fishing rod in hand.

[rthstewart]

MWHAAAA WE MADE YOU GET AN ACCOUNT

[saoirse7.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'm Saoirse! You can find me mostly on ff .net under the same name, as well as infrequently on LJ (I couldn't figure out how to actually link them--probably can't because I don't have an account on this site--no matter).

My primary fandoms are Narnia, Marvel, LotR, Star Wars... etc, but I write about pretty much whatever strikes at the moment, and I read a lot more than I write.

Not really sure what else to say, so I'll stop before I start rambling, but I hope to see you all around!

[rthstewart]

So glad you've been writing and prompting so many wonderful things!

[marmota_b]

So I've just created a dreamwidth account.
I started out on FF.net, where I'm marmota-b (I still don't know how you do links, okay?) http://www.fanfiction.net/~marmotab
And marmota_b on AO3 http://archiveofourown.org/users/marmota_b/

I like Narnia, Tolkien, Swallows & Amazons; for some reason I've also ended up writing about Highlander: The Series (or rather, namely, Methos) and creating a Marvel AU. I think the latter go to show that fandoms I feel compelled to write about may not necessarily be the things I love most unequivocally (after all, there isn't often that much to add to those). There are lots of other things I like; who knows whether anything will come of it.

I'm Czech and study English, so part of the initial impulse to write fanfiction - aside from the general impulse to write fanfiction - was to find out if I can use English to write fiction (with the opportunity to receive feedback, you know!). Turns out I can, quite well. I mostly struggle with stylistics (right now, I'm stuck on a chapter of Narnian letters that a) have to sound Narnian, b) have to convey the characters writing them. Fun!) And plots. Don't expect anything particularly plotty from me.

(Oh, and if you haven't noticed yet, I like parentheses.)

[rthstewart]

So glad you got an account! Welcome and thanks so much for playing and joining!

[marmota_b]

Thank you for hosting! It's fun, and it's a great exercise.
