Friending Meme?
(Mods: please do delete this/let me know if you want me to change anything if I've breached any rules)
Given the current combination of lots to talk about (i.e. Yuletide!) and lots of people wandering around wondering what to do with themselves over in Dreamwidth, it seemed an ideal opportunity to squee about Yuletide happiness and make some new friends/add some new subscriptions at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone, and all that. Soooo... in comments, feel free to answer as many of the following questions as you like:
1. Your name - however you wish to interpret that.
2. Your journal
3. Did you receive anything in this year's Yuletide? Link?
4. Did you write anything in this year's Yuletide? DO NOT LINK! Or give it away in any other manner, obv.
5. Have you made a recs post? Link?
6. If not, are there any stories you'd particularly like to share?
7. Favourite Yuletide fandom(s)?
8. Favourite fandoms that are Too Big For Yuletide?
9. What do you hope somebody's going to write for NYR?
10. What do you do during the rest of the year? (after all, there are nine other months to fill...)
11. Anything else you'd like to mention? (Anything! Anything at all! BEARS!)
12. Anything people should know about your journal? (e.g. content warning, or your thoughts on subscribing etiquette)
Then, go ahead and talk to people!

no subject
2. Your journal:
3. Did you receive anything in this year's Yuletide? Link?: I received three wonderful stories! Seriously, I'm pleased with them, so pleased.
The Lord of Joiry (Jirel of Joiry)
Smile (The Playboy Club)
Relieved (Cairo Time)
(FWIW, people browsing for stories, I think the first two can be read without prior canon knowledge~! The third, I think it helps to know who the characters are, so go watch Cairo Time--it has Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig, you won't be sorry--and come back to it.)
4. Did you write anything in this year's Yuletide? DO NOT LINK! Or give it away in any other manner, obv: I wrote two stories, which I'm pretty pleased with.
5. Have you made a recs post? Link? I don't tend to make recs posts, because I'm not particularly fond of the way they end up clogging the LJ comm and don't want to add to that. Maybe I'll do one in a month or something, though, because there are some stories I think are just wonderful.
6. If not, are there any stories you'd particularly like to share? I'd have to go back through my history and look.
7. Favourite Yuletide fandom(s)? I like seeing new fic for Little Women! And for old Hollywood films (actually, I started writing a theoretical request for It's a Wonderful Life fic for next year...), and things like that. I don't care as much for the viral video type fandoms.
8. Favourite fandoms that are Too Big For Yuletide? What people call Yuletide, I call Sunday--my fandoms tend to be very small in general. I guess Homestuck, but I'm not actually that into the actualfax Homestuck, just the opportunity to write stories about the Dolorosa and the Signless.
9. What do you hope somebody's going to write for NYR? My DS9 request for ancient Bajorans exploring space, because I'ms selfish. Honestly, I don't really hope for NYR stuff, because the stories that get written seem to be far less likely to be of interest to me. IDK, I think it's the smaller pool of stories.
10. What do you do during the rest of the year? (after all, there are nine other months to fill...) I write other stories and work full-time and sit around on my butt watching TV.
11. Anything else you'd like to mention? (Anything! Anything at all! BEARS!) :D?
12. Anything people should know about your journal? (e.g. content warning, or your thoughts on subscribing etiquette) I've been bad at using it lately, but I'm trying to improve that. I also have a tumblr, where I am twohandedengine.
