I have been meaning to update this, so instead of fretting about how to go about it, I'm gonna just do it. :D

I've been trying to figure out how to do fandom going forward. It's so hard to find a place to hang your hat these days! I've at this point more or less abandoned Tumblr, I never managed to warm up to Twitter. When I got into a new fandom and realized I had nowhere to post my magnificent tentacle porn art, I knew I had to finally decide where to put up my tent.

So expect me to be posting about The Adventure Zone going forward. Is anyone who's reading this into that podcast? If you aren't, you really should be--it's so fun. I was dubious about it at first, because that is my nature, but if you've ever played pen & paper (or been wanting to play pen & paper), it's super relatable content that ends up turning into a really quite decent story.

For anyone who doesn't know what TAZ is: it's the three McElroy brothers and their dad playing DND and being massive nerds, surprisingly decent storytellers, and also honestly quite funny. My favorite things about it are:

• Taako (of course)
• Clint and his terrible dad jokes that are sometimes not at all dad jokes
• Knowing that for once, I am not the only one who's not getting a single reference
• These moments when I relate so much to Griffin it hurts because, I, too, have DM'ed a bunch of players too fucking dippy to consistently follow a plot
• The Big Spoiler that I won't mention here because, well, spoilers
• Taako, again. He's great.

I've listened to Balance and the one-off arcs (well, almost--I'm halfway through Dust), and am going to be giving Amnesty a miss for now because I want to check out the new arc and maybe find some folks on here who are talking about it. There's theadventurezone which seems pretty dead, but maybe the new arc will bring it back to life. I shall not be discouraged!

Tentacle porn, you said? Why yes, I did.

I also drew Taako (from TV) because of course I did.

Soo, how have you all been? Is anyone doing Yuletide? I need to make sure I don't miss sign-ups, I really wanna try and get something written this year.

Bit late to the game, but here I go with post one of the Snowflake Challenge!

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

I posted links to a few of my recent fanworks in my last post already, so forgive me for including two of those works in this rec. They're my most recent, and therefore the ones I'm proudest of at the moment.

1) FANFIC: Jessica Jones Femslash

I'm including this because it's my first femslash fic and I found it quite freeing to write. It was nice to tell a story about awesome women for a change.

Title: Proxemics
Fandom: Jessica Jones (TV)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jessica Jones/Trish Walker
Word Count: 14,833
Summary: Proxemics: the study of personal space. In which the aftermath of Kilgrave’s death prompts Trish and Jess to redefine some boundaries.
AO3 Tags: Post-Season/Series 01, Self-Worth Issues, Self-Destructive Behavior, Trauma, Recovery, Canon-compliant portrayal of PTSD, some hurt/comfort and some pining but mostly ladies being awesome and overcoming shit, plus a lot of lesbians, explicit and non-explicit, trust me all non-explicit lesbians are in fact lesbians, and of course there’s a happy ending because yuletide

2) FANVID: Ten/Simm!Master Time Lord Angst

Ten/Simm!Master will remain my forever OTP. I know fandom opinions divided on End of Time, but I love those episodes with all my heart. Time Lords are ridiculous.

Title: Weapon
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Tenth Doctor/Simm!Master
Summary: The Master was Rassilon's last weapon in the Time War, but it backfired.

3) FANART: Holmes/Watson Crossdressing

This is very recent and was a quick one-off more than anything, but I quite like the way it turned out, and it did not get a lot of attention on Tumblr, so I'm sharing it here. Besides, Holmes/Watson in any incarnation are always appropriate.

Fandom: Guy Ritchie!Holmes
Medium: Digital art, Photoshop CS5 and Wacom tablet, pencil and watercolor brushes

... as indicated in the title?

I'm so fed up with Tumblr, so I'm trying a renewed attempt at returning to LJ. :D?

Who's still active here? My reading list has a few recent updates, so it doesn't seem to be a complete wasteland ... what is everyone up to?
