Signal Boost: December meme: look I posted this one before midnight!

Signal boosting for both a handy 'enable to leave kudos on post' code and fandom migration meta.

Though I fervently hope Discord isn't going to become the main fandom hub for upcoming years - not that I mind chat, but at least with my current work and rl level I am never going to be able to keep up with it, nor does Discord lend itself easily to skimming the highlights when one has time, except in very quiet slow servers. I can barely keep up with our little fannish friendsgroup chat on Signal, and as much as I like the idea of getting know more like-minded fen, Discord is just not something my spoons will strtetch to rn. I guess Dw is going to be the main hub for me, with slowly dying Tumblr keeping it's slow fizzle on the background. AO3 I sincerely hope is going to live long and prosper. Pillowfort- we'll see. The networking/federated fandom stuff - who knows.

Reading Venom fic I’m kind of wondering why in none of them Eddie Brock actually buys a bluetooth earpiece and pretends he’s just another obnoxious person thinking everyone else should be an unwitting background participant to their phone calls. I mean, personally, my first reflex thought nowadays hearing someone having an one-sided convo with themselves isn’t ’ oh, are they hearing VOICES??’ or ‘oh, are they talking to an ALIEN GOO MONSTER?’ or anything suspicious, but just 'oh fuck another one of those private convo flashers on the phone’. I mean, obviously culture varies and maybe in good old USA everyone nowadays just texts, but I’ve met those kinds off ppl in many countries, so…

Bye, Livejournal

Tue, 04 Apr 2017 18:06:16 GMT

So, I haven't been really active on Livejournal - just an occasional crosspost - for a long time, and I thought about deleting it several times after the servers moved to Russia, whom I trust even less than the US :) The new TOS finally gave me the kick in the pants I needed. I have many fond memories of the Livejournal, which was for me really the first site for a more in depth engagement with the fandom, especially Highlander fandom, and I am sad to leave, but it hasn't been the same for a long time.
I have imported the content to DW long time ago, so now it was just the matter of downloading both my own LJ and the Highlander100 community that was started by other fen and that I ran in the end for a while - I will see and try about getting that content up to AO3 one day, per the old community rules- (I used BlogBooker) and deleting both the community and my account. I chose the option to also delete all my entries and comments in other communities.
So, one chapter closed. I will now go and donate to AO3 and continue keeping a paid account here on Dreamwidth - and maybe try posting here more often, and hang out on Tumblr (which is a shitty place though if one wants to have any fannish discource in addition to reblogging pretty pics.

Sadness and signal boosting...

You may have seen this elsewhere, but Taselby, whom many of you may remember from Highlander fandom and from vidding and Escapade, has just lost her sixteen year old daughter Parker to a pulmonary embolism. God, I can't even imagine what she's going through. To make matters worse, they racked up huge medical bills because Parker was hospitalized twice this year trying to figure the problem out, and now they don't even have enough for funeral expenses.
The gofundme fundraiser is here. Please signal boost if you can.

...is also calime. Most of what's up there (and most likely what's going to get written in the future) is Highlander.
