returning with a fanfare!

DW folk: Okay, it's... been a while. Yes. Quick run-down of the last few years: I got my BA at Portland State, and I'm finishing up my MA in English lit at... a place in northern California, and teaching. My fandom stuff has all been at Tumblr and AO3, but Tumblr was always an awful platform and is disabling its few good features, so... yeah. My main fandoms over there are The Borgias (Showtime and historical; I have basically no squicks left at this point) and the eternal Austen/Tolkien/Star Wars (I am very!! excited!!!! about TFA). There's also been a smattering of pro- and anti-social justice rhetoric stuff, along with cats, Cascadia, and Catalonia.
Tumblr folk: DW IS REALLY GREAT YOU SHOULD JOIN US HERE. *cough* I mean, this was my favourite fandom platform and it has many less glitches, though it's sadly inferior for gif purposes. But it's great for anything texty, especially fic/meta/random stuff, and vastly superior as far as replies are concerned. Uhhh, I was actually even more aggressive and opinionated when I was posting here, if you decide to go trawling through the archives (which is fine! I don't believe in deleting! just be warned). This one's only been around since ~2009, so you shouldn't have to suffer through my misspent youth, though some of my positions have ~evolved~. ALSO THERE'S F-LOCK AND REVOLVING ICONS :D

on 2015-11-06 05:42 am (UTC)I was actually opening up my inbox and feeling a bit sad that it'd been so long that you might not be here any more, but no! :D
I have long thought wistfully about a SW/P&P mash-up, can't lie.

on 2015-11-08 02:06 am (UTC)And, yep, I'm still here--- probably will be until DW either dies somehow or (highly unlikely) a platform comes along that is run by people even more committed to the kind of privacy + community that is what I love about this place, lol.
Oh, man, an SW/P&P mashup = BEST THING EVAR. (And, seriously, the "stuff" in SW:TOR about sith purebloods and similar just SCREAMS OUT for a P&P remix, lol.)

on 2015-11-08 06:12 pm (UTC)I've never played TOR (I'm a GW2 stan, haha), but I may or may not have plotted out a P&P-in-SW AU. Haha, it was set a couple of generations after ROTJ, so if I ever get back to it, I'll have to see what happens in TFA. :D
