New year, new President (in the US), new server sites for Livejournal. The future is little bit scary right now, and scary is better faced with friends. Meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and expand your reading circle.

[ratcreature]

DW username: ratcreature
Preferred pronouns: she
Other platforms (please specify): ratcreature, ratcreature, ratcreature, ratcreature, also ratcreature on goodreads
Active/primary interests or fandoms: (keep this fairly short, so people will read it!) Marvel Cinematic Universe, Check Please, X-Men First Class, Rivers of London, Star Trek...
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: (how might people have seen you online / in fandom?) I've been around for a long time without changing my pseud? and was more active back in SGA and before that on Sentinel mailing lists, also I mod fanart_recs
I post about: (fandom, real life, combination - do for each platform, if you want) on DW it's a mix of fandom (public), RL (mostly locked); but tbh currently fandom content is somewhat aspirational, i.e. I'd like to get back to posting fanfic recs and drawing fanart again, but even at the of best times my jornal is not bustling with cool fannish conent; RL stuff is mostly locked; on Tumblr I don't reblog, but only post my fanart, which sadly is rarer than hen's teeth these days
I post/check my feed: (daily, weekly, twice a year, etc) I check daily and post a couple of times each month
I want to find people that post about: (specific fandoms, fandom in general, books, RL, SJ, etc) Fanart (Western, not anime), fanfic and book recs, also meta about sources I like (I'm not very interested in fandom meta, fandom sociology etc.)
I am most interested in interacting with people on: (DW, Twitter, Tumblr, etc) DW
My blog is: (public, selectively public, friends-only) public for fandom content and set to be included in search engines, most RL post are locked, some are filtered; I generally give reciprocal access to my (non-filtered) locked posts automatically when given access, also when asked
Anything else you need to know about me: (A good place to talk about your fandom shipping preferences, characters, type of fic/art/etc you like. Or link to your intro post. Or put a cute photo of your cat.) I've failed to significantly update my intro post since 2005, but things there are still mostly true, except that my fandom list expanded and shifted, and I post locked RL stuff more often. Sadly I currently don't have cute rats for a photo.

I'd like to add you, if you don't mind. I am mostly locked, but I grant access pretty freely.

[ratcreature]

Sure, that's what a friending meme is for. :D Would you like access too? (no need to be reciprocal, it's just without extra communication I interpret plain subscriptions without access granting to me as just interest in my public fandom posts)

[quiara]

I'm interested in learning about you as a human as well, so please, if you're comfortable giving me access, I'd like that. ^_^

[roga]

Hello! I'm adding you as well & if you don't mind, would like access too - I like getting to know people more than just fandom, if your non-fandom stuff is private.

[ratcreature]

Sure, though myusually locked posts aren't witty or riveting, but mostly me whining about my latest cold or annoying neigbors and such.

[delight]

Currently reading RoL (though I don't ship Peter/Nightingale, which apparently means that I am in an enormous minority fandom-wise), dig all of your other fandoms, I like RL stuff. I will add you if that's cool.

[ratcreature]

Certainly!

I'm almost always very flexible wrt shipping and read gen as well. Even in fandoms like The Sentinel back in the day, I read gen and both slash and het pairings (though the latter were hard to find in that fandom, that established fic warnings for the appearance of certain canon female characters -- so much wtf). Anyway, in RoL I like Peter/Beverly as well.

[st_aurafina]

*waves hello* I know you via things lilacsigil has said, so I hope it's okay to add you.

[ratcreature]

*waves back*
Of course, wouldn't have participated otherwise.

Cool that you bit the bullet and started this friending meme, btw.

[maeve_of_winter]

I love Marvel and Trek! Mind if I add?

[ratcreature]

I don't mind at all. :)

[sineala]

Hello, fellow Marvel and Trek and RoL fan! Can we be friends?

[ratcreature]

Sure! I've seen your fic around. (Of course that Eagle loyalty kink story <3!, but other stories too.)

[dhw]

Another Rivers of London fan! I had no idea there was much of a following until this thread - and now I've found two so far! I'm a big fan of the books - never explored the fandom, but now I know it exists, I am so, so up for it!

Would you mind terribly if I added you?

[ratcreature]

Not at all. I don't really post much about Rivers of London, though now and then fanfic I like will show up in my fanfic bookmark collections on AO3 and Pinboard.

[esteefee]

Happy New Year, ratcreature!

[ratcreature]

To you as well.

[digitalwave]

Hi! We've always shared a lot of fandoms in common and I'd love the chance to get to know you better. :)

[ratcreature]

Sure! Hopefully I'll post interesting stuff now and then. :)

[digitalwave]

I'll try my best to do the same. :)
