So I seem to have kind of forgotten about this journal...

Bleh.

In part, I suspect, because my recent fannish activity has actually been on LiveJournal. (The kink_las challenge that I've been involved in. Which seems to have stalled out for the moment.) And in part because I've been trying to diminish my fandom involvement. Apart from kink_las, I've barely written fic in a while. I haven't really been involved in active fannish discussion and general geeking/squeeing, outside of a few in-person friends, for years.

I miss it.

At any rate. I'm going to be trying to make use of this journal again. For fandom stuff. As was its intent. I also need to scrape together an update of my fic archive, as it's been several years. (Which means I need to re-acquaint myself with the slapdash PHP code I put together to streamline the indexes. Here's hoping I remembered comments.) In the meantime, I'm considering uploading to Archive of Our Own. Because that's an archive that I like and actually seems to be active. Skyehawke used to be my secondary archive, but I haven't used that in a while. I also can't quite decide whether to put up everything at AoOO, or just the stuff that I'm proud of and/or is popular. (i.e. do I bother with all my old FMA drabbles and crap like that?)

I defaulted on kink_bingo this year, because as the deadline was coming up, I was feeling overwhelmed with the concept of being involved with fannish stuff again. And not having much luck writing something. And I wanted to give myself an excuse to not sign up next year and get pummeled by the challenge again (as happened the first year I did it.)

And...yeah. Fandom. Of course, the two fandoms I'm currently most interested in either don't exist (Xenosaga) or seem to have faded considerably with time (Kingdom Hearts). Such is my luck.

I have things to attend to. :D

Testing this magical new thing...

So I have a Dreamwidth account. This is not actually new. However, I may just start using it.

At the moment, am testing the cross-posting to my LiveJournal. If you wish to friend me on Dreamwidth, feel free. Note that I will be using this journal, if I use it much at all, entirely for fandom stuff. Given that I am not writing much fic these days, this may be a fairly quiet space. On the other hand, I'm kinda planning to write more fic. So here we go.

Full disclosure: this sudden move on my part is motivated almost entirely by the fact that there are Xenosaga prompts available for the claiming on areyougame, and that comm is not on LiveJournal. Because I will whore myself out for more Xenosaga fic, even if it's written by me.
