Lake Lewisia #628

It had been a hard year for her, full of the petty and the perilous alike: the car repairs and the generational curse, the poltergeist infestation and the vet bills. Too old to stay up till midnight, instead she rose with the first sun and sat sipping tea on the front steps, almost but not quite cold enough to retreat inside. Within, she could hear one of the decoy rubber plates being hurled by the poltergeist and failing to break anything, so she smiled into her mug and readied herself for at least one more year of overcoming it all.

Fandom Snowflake 2021: Challenge #1

Snowflake Challenge! A thing I definitely did not forget existed until I started receiving new post notifications again! Yay!



Challenge #1: In your own space, introduce yourself!

I'm reusing last year's intro, mostly to save compiling all those links again!

The Basics: I'm Joyce Sully, aka freshbakedlady. (They/them pronouns, please.) I write fic and record podfic, not as often as I would like. I also publish original fiction; some of it is free. I'm chronically ill. I have a lot of animals and even more plants. I have a day job in manufacturing, and I used to work in a restaurant.

I'm on tumblr, where I mostly reblog photography, social commentary, weird stories, and fandom stuff.

I'm on dreamwidth, where I mostly post microfiction, art and photography, life updates, and fandom commentary.

I'm on AO3, where I mostly post traumatized superheroes, found family, and hurt/comfort.

I'm technically on twitter, where I mostly don't do shit because twitter is terrifying.

I'm on my own website, where I mostly sell original fiction.

Fandoms: I've accepted that my fandoms are, for now at least, mostly in cryostasis. I read very occasionally, I make sure I do one podfic a year, and I trust that I'll get active again when the time is right. So the following list is fandoms in which I am some level of conversant, even if I'm not active in any of them just now.

MCU, Teen Wolf, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam Wing, Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, Supernatural (early seasons only), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sailor Moon, The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Leverage, Losers, Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Files, Sherlock Holmes (various iterations), Captive Prince, Jurassic Park/World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Good Omens, Studio Ghibli movies (various), Pokemon, The Old Guard (the new kid on the block)...

It occurs to me, looking over this, that I engage with meta a lot more these days than I used to and more than I engage with anything else. That list has a lot of entries for which I have read hardly any fic, but I can think of multiple pieces of meta/commentary that really excited me when I encountered them. I live for LotR meta on tumblr, frex. I do love me some media analysis.

I should look into making audio versions of entertaining meta...hm...
