Yuletide Friending Meme!

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!

Name:
Fandoms:
How many years you've been doing Yuletide:
Your fic:
DW or LJ? (Or Twitter, or Plurk, or...):
Journaling habits:
Other interests:
Anything else?:

Have fun!

Name: Travis

Fandoms: Uh, I don't really have a main fandom in terms of writing/reading fic and other fannish activity. I'm more of a "fandom is my fandom" type of person and I write and read in a wide variety of fandoms (I also post about books, manga, and TV shows I am into).

In terms of Yuletide fandoms, I noticed a few years ago that all the Yuletide fics I'd written (assigned, pinch hits, treats, and NYRs) were all in different fandoms, and also were all fandoms I'd written for the first time in Yuletide, so now that's kind of my thing and I purposely avoid writing anything I've written before.

How many years you've been doing Yuletide: Uh... *looks at fics* Seven. Wow. My first Yuletide was 2004, which was the second-ever Yuletide.

Your fic: This year I wrote Halfway from Coal, Halfway to Diamond (HanaKimi), Not an Addict (Maybe That's a Lie) (K-On!), and You're My Best Friend (And I Love You) (Huge). All my fic is up on AO3 as well.

DW or LJ? I prefer DW, though I also mirror my journal on LJ (comments closed) and maintain a small flist there. I am also on Tumblr as nowisgreater, where I talk mostly about transgender stuff as well as other social justice stuff.

Journaling habits: I do "daily happiness" posts to try and focus on good things as well as a daily song rec. I also post a lot of linkspams lately, mostly social justice-related, but also random stuff and fanart, whatever. I also review all the fanfic, books, and manga I read. Occasional fanfic posts (less often than I'd like). Other random stuff. Oh, scanlations and stuff, too.

Other interests: Um, there's a list in my profile, but that doesn't really tell you much. Claymore is the most recent thing I've fallen in love with, though I also just started watching Battlestar Galactica and am really liking that.

Anything else?: I am always interested in new friends on DW, less so on LJ, because I am trying to move away from there and really only reading the few people still left on my flist who haven't moved to DW.

omg, does "Not an Addict (Maybe That's a Lie)" refer to the K's Choice song?

Yep. :D I like using lyrics for titles and as I was scanning the fic trying to come up with something, I saw the line "It was kind of addictive" and that song popped into my head and felt just perfect for the fic. (And as a totally coincidental bonus, my recipient loves K's Choice, too, which I didn't even know.)

the more fascinating part of it is: You know K's Choice! I mean....ehhhh.

I actually haven't heard a whole lot of their stuff, but that song is one of my favoritest favorite songs ever. :)

I'm interested in social justice and trans stuff, and I'm kind of a "fandom is my fandom" person too. Friending you!
