Yuletide Friending Meme!

[sarashina]

Hello all! No one had posted a Yuletide Friending Meme yet, so I decided to step up to the plate. This may be on DW, but it is for LJ as well, and all you LJ-ers can comment with Open ID. If you want to meet people who share your small fandoms, want to pimp your fics, or just want to start the new year with some more friends, comment below with the following!

[glass_icarus]

(YAY you did this so I don't have to!!!! xD) Back later, will pimp.

I'll start us off!

[sarashina]

Name: Becky

Fandoms: A little bit of everything? Mushishi, Natsume Yuujinchou, Monster, Princess Tutu, Criminal Minds, Tanya Huff's Smoke books, every DWJ book ever, every other YA book ever, White Collar, Tangled, How to Train Your Dragon, Psych... I could go on.

Yuletide years: This was my fourth!

My fic: The Lonely Traveler in Mushishi fandom.

DW or LJ: Both! My LJ is ruffwriter and it's a bit more... organized, shall we say. I'm also on Twitter as "cafecliche."

Journaling habits: Like I said, my f-locked LJ is a bit more organized! I'm sort of in the middle of transitioning my DW into a mostly-public mirror. I'm happy to be added either place, though! As for content, it's about 50% writing (mostly original), 35% fandom, and 15% real-life rambling.

Other interests: WRITING. Lots and lots of writing. I have a handful of different multi-chapter projects, and like everyone on the internet ever, I'm trying to get published. I also work at the Japanese embassy, so I occasionally ramble about it under f-lock.

Anything else?: Looking forward to meeting some new people! ♥

Re: I'll start us off!

[mercuries]

You work at an embassy? Can I ask what kind of work? I'm trying to get into diplomacy as a career, so this topic is of great interest.

[littledust]

Oh, thank you so much for doing this!

Name: Kelsey

Fandoms: AWESOME LADIES. Right now, I watch Fringe, Community, White Collar, and Glee (despite its MAJOR ISSUES). I dabble in everything from comics to books to TV to manga to movies. Equal opportunity fangirl here!

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: Er, four? I did have to miss one year, alas.

Your fic: I was a bit prolific this year! I wrote Part of the Teenage Angst Brigade (H2O: Just Add Water, Rikki/Zane), The Curse of the Bambino (And Other Love Stories) (You Belong With Me), Home Cooking (The Princess and the Frog), Hello Hello Baby (Telephone, Lady Gaga/Honey B), everything in its right place (Fringe), and Find Your Jesus, Find Your Kubrick (RPF, Lady Gaga/Taylor Swift).

DW or LJ?: Both! My DW is littledust, obviously, and it mirrors my littledust account.

Journaling habits: I blog mostly about fannish things, although just about every entry mentions bits and bobs of my RL. I'm a full-time preschool teacher and a full-time grad student. I also have lots of Opinions about the media I consume. Sometimes I do memes.

Other interests: Teaching! Reading! Writing! Music! Pretty standard stuff, really, except perhaps for teaching.

Anything else?: Yuletide is the best tide! ♥

I never met a crossover I didn't like, and if it's got the potential for a good femslash pairing I'll give it a try. Here's my fic masterlist for a better idea.

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: Three. I didn't think I'd have time this year, but I'm so glad I did it anyway!

DW or LJ?: cleo | cleo2584

Journaling habits: I don't post many personal entries anymore, and if/when I do, it's on DW and f-locked. I'm generally happy to grant access reciprocally. I post a lot of fic and less icons and meta. I love reading and commenting on everyone's entries, though, so I do actively maintain my circle.

Other interests: Have a list of random things I like: cooking, travel, languages, music (all kinds!), reading, writing, cocktails, fashion, SHOES, running (working out in general), cats, movies.

Anything else?: Everyone should know that my partner brought back mint MoonPie crunches from SC for me... My whole concept of reality was shattered. MINT MOONPIE CRUNCHES, PEOPLE!

[scissorphishe]

Yay femslash! And languages! And...mint MoonPie crunches, I suppose! I have never encountered such things before but I am sure they are as fabulous as they sound! Friends?

DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): This is my DW, my LJ is under the same name, here

Journaling habits: Mostly RL but with a fair amount of fangirl squeeing. And lots of fangirl meetups. I know a lot of my flist in RL!
Other interests: Apart from fandom? There's such a thing? In RL, I'm a medical scientist which means I am a giant dork, then I like travelling, hiking, running, swimming, baking (which hurts the last of these), writing, hanging with friends, going to touristy places with friends, nights in with DVDs.
Anything else?: Umm... YULETIDE SQUEE! :D I love this challenge and it would be awesome to meet some folk in these tiny underloved fandoms.

Oh, since I know some people have completely crossed over. I'm exclusively LJ based, so only friend people who crosspost and leave comments open on LJ too.

I respect your opinions, so please respect mine, even if we don't agree.

And finally, HI! *waves*

[krazykipper.livejournal.com]

Coding FAIL. I don't know how to do it on DW. Sorry that it looks all messy. Normally I am vaguely HTML competent. :)

[lysimache]

You have, it seems, very many awesome interests! Friends?

[holli]

Name: Holli

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: Six, which, holy crap.

Your fic: This year I wrote Got So Far to Go, a Hairspray story.

DW or LJ?: Both, as holli

Journaling habits: Some real-life blather, some fannish content, a bunch of original writing lately, and occasional fic.

Other interests: Knitting and spinning, crafts in general, vintage fashion, lots of old weird stuff. Oh, and I just wrote a novel.

Anything else?: Delicious recs are here. Also, and this may not surprise you, I <3 Yuletide.

[karihan]

*fistbumps fellow Vorkosigan fan* Congrats on the novel! I need to kick myself in the butt, turn off my internal editor and work on mine.

[karihan]

Ooo, excellent!

Name: Chris
Fandoms: Books: Lord of the Rings (just about anything Tolkein really), anything and everything written by Lois McMaster Bujold, Doris Egan's Ivory books (I will get Yuletide fic for this one year, I swear it!), Tad Williams, Sector General, James Alan Gardner, on and on and on... TV: Britcoms and other Brit shows (especially Green Wing, Inspector Lynley, Coupling, Jonathan Creek, Chef! Blackadder and so on), Keen Eddie, Max Headroom, Probe, BSG, Babylon 5, etc. Movies: Hunt for Red October, LotR, Buckaroo Banzai, Priscilla and too many more to list.
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This was year #4!
Your fic: This year I wrote Control, the lone Max Headroom fic. Alas, I only had time for the one, but I've already scoped out prompts for NYR stories. ^_^ I also need to port more of my non-Yuletide stuff over.
DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): Both! I'm also karihan over on LJ. I have yet to tweet, FB, tumblr or much else, but I am giving Plurk a look-see.
Journaling habits: A little sporadic right now, but I'm slowly improving.
Other interests: WRITING, RP both on LJ and IJ, cooking, animals, good books and good music, jewelry making, scents (I have a BPAL + other etailers collection)
Anything else?: Yuletide is love, and I always love to meet new friends.

[rekishi]

Name: Sam

Fandoms: Eh, lots. Helpful, I know. So I've written for X-Files, Coldfire, Merlin, Arthuriana, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Football RPF and have created (ahem) just this year Royalty RPF (or at least it seems like my co-author and I created it because, hey, nothing out there; we mostly slash European royalty). I've dappled (i.e. read) in a bunch of others. Liiike Highlander, White Collar, Inception, Historical RPF (my favourite what is is Edward the Black Prince and one day maybe I'll write that story *sigh*), Hockey RPF just to name the most recent ones and ohgodwhatelse. I'm versatile! I love lots! I've been in anime and manga for a long while, although I don't really do the fanfic thing there. Still, lots of stuff. I also write originals. I dapple in lots of stuff.

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: Second year writing, fourth year knowing about it.

Your fic: Soy Celeste (Footie RPF), The Edges of the Frame, Noblesse Oblige, Bomb In A Birdcage (all three Royalty RPF) and Wanderer Between The Worlds (Malazan Book of the Fallen)

DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): autumn_belias on LJ and rekishi here, but I don't really use DW. I also do AIM and ICQ and gtalk, but that's for when I know people better.

Journaling habits: As I said, I don't really use DW. My LJ has been rather silent this past year because I was swamped but I've picked up posting again the last few weeks. This may change again, idk. It depends on how my life pans out.

Other interests: Lots? I'm between stages at the moment. I read, I write, I dapple in lots of stuff. Oh and I don't really like football (soccer, for the Americans), usually, I watch World and European Championships. But as I said, I dapple. I might be all over something one month and not look back another, it doesn't mean I don't love but there's stuff that always takes precedence. I'm not a very fannish person, although it has happened that I was. I'm not fickle per say, I just have limited time that I use at my discretion.

Anything else?: I used to be in #yuletide a lot, but time hasn't allowed for that in the last few months, but some people might still know me from there (I mean those I don't know already anyway). But well, everything else, is best directed at my lj anyway. Oh and my LJ profile isn't very up to date so better disregard that. Oh and I LOVE books.

[heeroluva]

Name: heeroluva
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Series, The Fast and the Furious, Inuyasha, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Riddick, Sky High, Firefly, Naruto, Eragon, Four Brothers, Heroes, X-men, The Sentinel, Hellboy, NCIS, House, The Dark Knight/Iron Man, Transformers, Star Trek TOS/XI, Terminator Salvation, Primeval, Live Free Die Hard, Dexter, Torchwood, Star Trek DS9, Zombieland, Avatar, Blade Trinity, Boondock Saints, The Black Jewels Trilogy, Sahara, Tin Man, Spartacus: Blood and Sand
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This is my first year participating because I always missed sign ups, but I've lurked for years.
Your fic: Out dated masterlist or fic tag
DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): Both, though I don't do much on DW
Journaling habits: Fic is public, everything else is locked
Other interests: psychology, sociology, reading, writing, the usual
Anything else?: No one under 18 please.

[ankaret]

Name: Ankaret

Fandoms: Mostly book fandoms, until I fell hard for The Vampire Diaries earlier this year. Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, Antonia Forest, CJ Cherryh, and I'm kind of on the edges of Dorothy L. Sayers fandom. But I love reading meta about pretty much anything, especially other people's writing processes.

Also, a kind of anti-fandom - I am really not rational on the subject of how much I dislike Stargate Universe. I'm happy to friend people who are fannish about it, just as long as you know I'm not. :)

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: I think it's four. *thinks* There was the Ellen Kushner year and the Sarah Monette year and the Dodie Smith year and this year. So, yeah, four.

Your fic:

What Didn't Happen To Edith. Downton Abbey, for Irmelin.
The Opposite Of Swarb, Connie Willis' Bellwether, for Isis.

Symmetry. Mansfield Park, for nano.

Just Another Day In The Secret Base. Disney Princesses Superheroes, for Starlady.

On Three. Vampire Diaries, for faithful4you.

Where's Our Girlfriend? Vampire Diaries again, for redbrunja.

Young Vampire Slayers In Love. Young Dracula for Calasara.

DW or LJ? Ankaret on both. Slight preference for new people to friend the DW, as I'm very gradually moving over here. :)

Journaling habits: I post kind of erratically, and I post all kinds of stuff - the book reviews are public-access on DW, but I also post under friendslock about writing, sewing, fashion, fat acceptance, the things I see out of the windows of buses and anything else that comes to mind.

Other interests: original writing, yoga, the Sims, sewing, and I've just recently got into step aerobics.

Anything else?: This is the first time I've done a friending meme, because the Yuletide community is just that awesome that my feelings of 'but no one will want to friend me and it'll all be embarrassing' are overcome. :)

[holli]

Oh, I'm looking for people to talk to about fashion! Totally friending you.

[estirose]

Name: Selma
Fandoms: Current: mostly Kamen Rider series, older Power Rangers series, occasionally Sentai. Past series (that I occasionally revisit): Starman (tv), Highlander (and Highlander: The Raven), Forever Knight, Tomorrow People (mostly the 1990s one), Earth: Final Conflict, Sliders. Fandoms I seem to write only for Yuletide: Hana Yori Dango, Hana-Kimi (tv), Mei-chan no Shitsuji, Gokusen (tv).
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: four.
Your fic: Yuletide-wise, I have a nice complete list here. Otherwise, I have my fic scattered on fanfiction.net, AO3, and my own archive.
DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): DW is where I currently seem to live. I log into LJ maybe once a month, but I'm not updating there. I should use my Plurk more.
Journaling habits: My journal's mostly fandom (writing and occasionally icons); I post a lot of my personal stuff elsewhere, but I do have the occasional rant that I have to post public. I rarely f-lock my journal.
Other interests: Reading, school (I'm starting to feel like an eternal student), learning photography.
Anything else?: I... can't think of anything.

[krazykipper.livejournal.com]

Earth:Final Conflict! I loved that show. :) Spent an episode of White Collar this season going - LOOK IT'S BOON! My friends thought I was nuts.

[mercuries]

Name: Mercurie

Fandoms: Currently into The Good Wife, Community, and Doctor Who; also love Farscape, Futurama, Caprica/BSG, the Lymond Chronicles, Star Trek, everything Tolkien, Buffy, Firefly, Coffee Prince, Nodame Cantabile. Really multi-fandom and a multi-shipper!

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This is my third.

Your fic: Revels, a Lymond Chronicles fic

DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): LJ! I have the same username there. My DW is private and only for occasional ranting and to-do lists. I'm also on Twitter as _mercuries.

Journaling habits: Usually I update about once a week, though sometimes I get lazy for a while. It's a mixture of real life, memes, and some fannish reactions. I comment a lot and like to be friendly w/ my flisters (more than just a reading list, in other words). I also post a fair amount of pictures (travel and baking).

Other interests: History, languages, travel, food, CHEESE :D

Anything else?: PS FEMSLASH ROCKS

[krazykipper.livejournal.com]

We also have Firefly, Farscape, Futurama and (a non-F fandom), I like DS9 unless you meant the ST film?

And femslash does rock. :)

[merriman.livejournal.com]

Name: Merriman will do nicely for now.

Fandoms: My main active fandom is Highlander - but! When it comes to Yuletide I've got a variety.
I've written for: Black Books, The Magicians, Circle of Magic, Valdemar, Buckaroo Banzai, Neverwhere, Lost Boys, Ocean's 11, The Prisoner and Fight Club.
I've received: The Dark is Rising, Here is Greenwood, Sandman, The Muppet Show, Swallows and Amazons, Anna to the Infinite Power, Logan's Run and Push (2009)
I've asked for: Elfquest, House of Stairs, Dragon Prince, Hancock, Mass Effect, The Avengers, The Changeover and Unwind.

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: 7 as of this year.

Your fic: All of my Yuletide stuff can be found here: http://archiveofourown.org/users/merriman (OpenID seems to not like link tags). I'm going to be moving some of my better HL stuff and the cracky Sandman/Box of Delights crossover over soon.

DW or LJ?: LJ, please, under this name. I have a DW but I don't use it.

Journaling habits: Minimal, at the moment, but I'm hoping to change that to weekly posting and more writing/commenting.

Other interests: I knit, but really I love books and movies and television. I'm a librarian and spend most of my time on children's/YA books. And I own over 500 movies on DVD and am working my way through them, one a day (308 as of today). That's about where I'm at.

Anything else?: I'm really an introvert and while sometimes I get in the mood to leave a lengthy comment, often I just can't manage to get up the oomph to be terribly active. I read anything I recognize the fandom for, though, so I do try.

[silverflight8]

You do Dark is Rising? *friends*

[summerstorm]

Name: Lix
Fandoms: Vampire Diaries, The Good Wife, Castle, Community, the occasional RPF ship, probably Pretty Little Liars when it comes back.
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: 2010 was my third!
Your fic: I wrote about a fifth of this year's Vampire Diaries (TV) category: Too Restless to Unwind (Damon/Stefan -- main assignment, I do not actually ship this), Some Other Direction to Drive (Bonnie & Damon), Balance Point (Jeremy & Tyler), Give to the Shore, Turn the Tide (Elena/Stefan, Damon/Elena/Stefan), and Keeps Me Alive (Jeremy/Tyler). I also wrote a short Madness treat for Easy A, Bad Influence, and a long-ass treat for Disney RPF, Scribble Down Something That's Sweet.
DW or LJ? I only use my DW to read and comment, but my LJ is updated fairly regularly -- summerstorm.
Journaling habits: I mostly post fic and talk about fic and writing and TV shows. There's the occasional movie review and other random stuff, but my journal is largely fannish.
Other interests: Movies, languages, poetry, baking now that I finally got a working oven, and I've been slowly teaching myself how to play guitar (an arduous task when you have no ear for music).
Anything else?: I've been feeling really trigger-happy re: adding new people these past few days, so don't be shy!

[mercuries]

The Good Wife & Community are my main fandoms right now and I'd love some other fans on my flist (especially for TGW). Also, baking! Friends?

[crantz]

Name: John/Crantz/Rosencrantz/Benedict/Sepiamagpie/Ghengis/SuperCricket

Fandoms: I'll just list the main ones I can keep up in a conversation about, because there's nothing I really participate in, and my posts are different everytime: Lord of the Rings, Comicbooks (old stuff, anyway, I've fallen behind. But I like hearing about what's been happening), Lovecraft (although half of what I say when I talk about it is 'did you really just go there, HP?), Diana Wynne Jones, Pokemon (show, game, comic), Ranma, City of Heroes, Narnia, Sherlock Holmes (original, the new movie, and the new BBC iteration. I also love the old radio shows!), Tintin, Asterix, CSI and CSI NY, Bones, Criminal Minds (I follow these crime shows by season releases, so I'm always a season behind. But I don't mind spoilers at all. I try to avoid spoiling others though, so you don't have to worry about me posting about it without a cut if I do catch up), Supernatural (first two seasons. I won't be able to add much other than reaction to what you're saying about the later stuff), Due South, Wizard of Oz (Sort of! I've read the first few books and working my way through the rest), Avatar: The Last Airbender, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett (I've read most of his books, even the non-discworld ones. So I'm putting it as a general Pterry fandom stuff. One day... one day someone will want to talk about the Bromeliad trilogy with me), and did I mention City of Heroes? That's the mmorpg I play and love incredibly dearly. I rarely post about it, but it makes my day to find fellow players. I've probably forgotten a bunch. Oh! And I'm a big mythology geek. If you know cultures I don't, please share! I love learning more.

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This was my first! It was super fun.

Your fic: Millions of Cats, which I wrote for Naatz. It's Howl's Moving Castle/Chronicles of Chrestomanci.

DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): crantz at dreamwidth.

Journaling habits: I read books. I post about books. Sometimes I post some other things, but a lot of my posts will be about what book I'm currently reading, what I like about it, and stuff like that. If I ever post anything NSFW, it will be a quote from something, and I don't post NSFW images. I keep anything that may get you in trouble at work under cuts, but my posts tend to be of a medium length with the sometimes long one. I like to include post relevant graphics, like covers of books, panels from comics, or squirrels. The books I usually read are children's books, but I do adult fiction from time to time. I also take suggestions as long as the books are low on sexual violence. I also like to write and will post about that from time to time, even if it's just a 'this would be a cool book idea'.

Other interests: Hamsters are cool. I haven't done it in months, but I like to draw silly comics from time to time.

Anything else?: I'm a fandom_wank mod. This isn't so much a warning about me (I'm pretty mild) but I know it's not always a popular community and I don't want anyone to get an unpleasant surprise. Also, I am Canadian. I feel that is v. important.

[lysimache]

I think the shoe thing sounds awesome. And I really enjoyed your post about Christmas in Finland. Friends?

[butilikethewayyouplay]

Name: Carly
Fandoms: It used to be all Buffy all the time, but now my main fandom is Val Kilmer. Most of my fannish work these days is Thunderheart, but I've also dabbled in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Saint, Tombstone, Top Gun, The Salton Sea, and The Ghost and the Darkness.
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This was my first!
Your fic: You can find my stuff at my AO3 account or my LJ. I wrote three stories for Yuletide this year:

Notes from the Frontlines (Sidelines) (Burn Notice, Michael Westen, Sam Axe, PG)
Nobody's Pool Boy (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Harry Lockhart, Perry van Shrike, R)
The Laying on of Hands (The Saint, Emma Russell/Simon Templar, PG)

DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...): LJ; I only have the DW for occasions such as this. I'm on LJ as carlyinrome
Journaling habits: Largely fannish (read: lots and lots of Thunderheart fic), though I do go on about my personal life, which includes graduate school in Savannah, Georgia, a mental illness, and a small dog.
Other interests: Writing, perpetual motion machine stories, learning Italian, writing literary analysis of Val Kilmer movies, the things I listed in the previous field.
Anything else?: I feel "yay!" is a valid answer here.
