A lot of my Tumblr friends are not as far as I know on Dreamwidth, so I've been going around subscribing to lots of people who I don't yet know, just on the basis that you're friends of friends and on a cursory glimpse I liked what I've read in your journals. But finally it occurs to me that you might like to know something about me.

I'm a fan-crone by now. I got my start on Yahoo groups when I was in Star Wars TPM fandom, left them for LJ, where I passed through Silmarillion fandom and Pirates of the Caribbean fandom and ended up writing for Loki fandom from the first Thor movie.
I started off as galadhir and changed to potboy with the shift to PotC.

Then I went to Tumblr and cycled through Stargate SGU and Star Wars TFA, and TLJ with a heavy interest in Hux, to which I'm more or less clinging on for lack of anything better.

I didn't like to share anything very personal on Tumblr - it didn't feel like a safe environment - but when I had my LJ it was a mix of fannishness and personal life, so I hope to revert to that here.

Personal life wise, I am ace and agender. I'm an indie-author of mm romance, sf/f and cozy mystery, and I'm probably likely to talk about morris dancing a lot because that's my major hobby. I'm in three different morris sides and I dance three nights a week and a lot of weekends too. It doesn't leave time for much else.

Hello! How nice to meet you :) and yes, same. It's nice to have some fandoms that you know will always feel like home, even while you miss the excitement of having new ones. I was a gen writer in TPM, though always a slash reader. Then I had a few years of writing slash going through Tolkien fandom to Pirates of the Caribbean, but recently I've been going back toward gen. The slash writing period was a source of enormous religious and self-discovery, but obviously not something I wanted to do in the long run. Meh. Show me a permanent state of the self, Mom ;)

I am finding it difficult to get off Tumblr, where I've finally become comfortable, if only because I've blocked a whole load of people and also I rarely say anything. But I do miss the better community and discussions of LJ days, and every so often I have a 'must get back to DW and try actually blogging again,' phase.

Because this Potboy LJ is tied to Tumblr, so it's full of Tumblr reblogs, I started up a new DW where there wasn't any of that stuff. So this is me on my new DW where I am logged in permanently. I think I may have friended you over there anyway. Your name looks very familiar!
