Intro Post

[trickytricky]

Hello! I’ve seen these intro posts and appreciated them on other journals, so thought it was time to finally sit down and do a quick one for myself.

I use she/her, late-thirties, currently living on the east coast in the U.S. (but I’ve lived in some other pretty neat places and hope to continue moving around/exploring in the coming years…California, Italy, and South Korea have been my favorite places to live, they’re each wonderful in their own ways!)

Fandoms I’m currently active in are Star Wars and Guardian for the most part, but in the past I’ve gone through high intensity periods of adoring many, many things under the sun, and sometimes dip my toes back into, including but not limited to: Highlander, X-Files, Stargate(s), Gundam Wing, Hikaru no Go, Farscape, Harry Potter, The Untamed… I was even quite into Supernatural for a time. XD Oh, and I adore the Dragon Age and Witcher series of video games.

Fanworks I’ve created are here:

You’ll find mostly Star Wars fanfics and fanvids there, but I’m slowly branching out.

If you want to hit me up/connect on other social media, best bet is tumblr and/or discord:

Hi! Dropping in from Snowflake.

Highlander, Stargate(s) and FARSCAPE!!! I just looked at those three fandoms and had the notion how diverse my experience was with all of them. Highlander was a smaller, close-knit fandom where everybody knew everyone else. Stargate was a vibrant behemoth. And Farscape was all about the show for me, I never delved into fandom (even though I discovered in 2001 that fandom was a thing that did exist on the internet).

Guardian and The Untamed are all over my f-list, but I've still only managed to watch one ep of Guardian. o_O

Hello there! I wasn't interacting much with fandom back when I was heavier into those shows, more just in 'consumption of fanworks' mode, but yes, everything you said there makes perfect sense to me regardless! Highlander always had a smaller, tighter vibe to it, Stargate was so very sprawling with such a wonderful bounty of works created for it, and Farscape was really just so well-produced and the characters were taken on such wonderful continuity arcs, that it was really easy to get most of the pay-off as a fan from the show itself rather than feeling the need to explore fandom quite so much for emotional pay-off/satisfaction.

The Untamed is great fun and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit, and the fandom is definitely on the larger side and putting out tons of great content. But honestly Guardian really does hold my heart right now, and I'm finding it more re-watchable between the two... it's not a show I would recommend to people who have trouble getting past occasional low production values/occasional very bad CGI or who aren't interested in easing past some cheesy moments and plot holes. But for people who are in it for the absolutely beautifully emotional character moments and deep, meaningful connections... yeah, that show delivers in spades.

Thanks for your comments about Guardian. In the first ep, it was so hard for me to see the two main actors as their characters because they looked so young! *g* But I've got the eps, so I shouldn't waste them, right? *g*
