Post-reveals Yuletide friending meme

[dolorosa_12]

I hope everyone had as good a Yuletide as I did! It's sometimes hard to find people who like the same small, Yuletide-eligible fandoms as you do, so I thought it would be great to do a friending meme after reveals, so that people could find and add the authors, recipients and commenters who made their 2018 Yuletides so enjoyable.

Please feel free to share this meme far and wide. To participate, just leave a comment on this post, copying the code below and filling in your own answers. I've enabled anonymous commenting so if you don't have a Dreamwidth account you can still participate.

People who didn't participate in Yuletide are also welcome to participate in this friending meme — obviously just leave out answers to the questions regarding Yuletide.

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): vae, itinerantvae
Preferred platform(s): Dreamwidth
I like to post about/read about: Personal stuff, knitting, writing, reading, pop music, art music
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Critical Role, Years & Years, anything KJ Charles or Cat Sebastian, anything Seanan McGuire (but not necessarily Mira Grant because I am a wuss when it comes to horror), Shakespeare, Robin Hood, Firefly, A Knight's Tale, many others I am forgetting
This Yuletide I wrote: Operation Lovecraft, teen rated backstory for Barney and Isaacs from KJ Charles' Green Men series
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I haven't had time to read anything except my gifts yet but I will definitely recommend the stunning Sprezzatura by Queue which is an amazing Much Ado blank verse/iambic pentameter monologue by Beatrice
Anything else you want to say: I am always, always looking for more KJ Charles people to squee with, because I don't do Facebook so I am not part of the group there!

I like to post about/read about: I mostly post about life stuff: hobbies, spouses and kid, Judaism. I'm interested in reading other people's journalish things.

Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I'm excessively multifannish. Fandom is my fandom.

This Yuletide I wrote: The Renovators RPF, original She-Ra, The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body, and knitting anthropomorfic. This is pretty typical.

Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I loved every single one of the Foundryside stories, especially the ones that were gifts for me!

Anything else you want to say: I'm in NYC and happy to meet other New Yorkers, especially if you're interested in regular writing meet-ups. I'm a parent of a toddler and happy to meet other parents (and if you're not a parent or interested in reading about kids, I promise I do post about many other things and always tag my kid posts so you can selectively block them).

I'm probably going to take a bit of an internet vacation for the next week or so, but will respond to friend offers/requests after that.

I don't automatically grant access to my locked posts or expect it to be granted to me by people who read me. If you unfollow me/revoke access, I'll assume you had a good reason for it and move on with no hard feelings or "but why???" PMs.

[gingicat]

As you know, I subscribed to you a while ago. I recommend you heartily as a lovely person to follow.

I like to post about/read about: Most of my posts are locked but I am glad to add people. What you find under the lock is a mix of daily life stuff, work stuff (my job is legitimately fascinating: I'm a librarian at a really unusual library), writing (including self-publishing 1920s romance with a bit of magic and mystery plot), magical and religious life (form: religious witchcraft), and other stuff as I find it. I periodically do what my friends call "librarian smash" posts when I hit bits of really awful research, which amuse a number of people.

Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I tend to write in odd fandoms for Yuletide, dabble in a bunch. I have a complex relationship with the Potterverse, which is probably the one I'm most likely to talk about in my journal, and Doctor Who is my second fandom, dating from when I was about 6, in Classic form. I'm also generally a mystery fan. I don't extensively write fic other than a couple of exchanges a year. (I like seeing other people talk about theirs, though!)

This Yuletide I wrote: The Stars Have Never Fallen (Agora 2009)
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? My rec post is over here.

[author_by_night]

Oh, what a great idea! I didn't do Yuletide, but I love meeting new fandomy people.

Archive of Our Own username: AuthorByNight or some variation. (I've had Author By Night as a fanfic name since January 2001. So eighteen years!)

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): author_by_night here and on LJ. authorbynight on tumblr, but the last time I updated, people were still riding horse and buggies. :P

Preferred platform(s): DW/LJ.

I like to post about/read about: Fandom meta (I post more general than specific fandom things these days, but love meta about shows/books I love), thoughts on various media, creative writing, genealogy, social commentary. (Generally less political and more "why people do this weird thing".) Some real life, but very few "day to day" posts. I also get a little snarky and silly from time to time. I'm here to both go deep AND have fun.

b>Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): The Good Place, Harry Potter, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Other fan interests (that I'd totally read meta and maybe fic for) are Firefly, Buffyverse, and Mad Men.

This Yuletide I wrote: Nothing.

Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection?

Anything else you want to say: I don't really have a "policy" when it comes to unfriending or whatnot. That being said, if we interact a lot I'd like to know why you defriended me, but I also realize that sometimes you add people and just realize after a while that you have very little in common. No hard feelings whatsoever.

Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Um... lots? I prefer ratings of Gen, PG-13, and Teen. Love most pairings.
One probably unknown fandom is Polychrome Heroics, written by ysabetwordsmith, dialecticdreamer, and siliconshaman, published on DW and LJ.

Anything else you want to say: One of my holiday wishes this year was for remixes of my fics. I can't participate in remix challenges because I rarely write more than one story in any given fandom.

[hamsterwoman]

Hi! I found my way to your journal (and then here) through your Yuletide story -- Dragaera ♥! -- and only then realize I also had you to thank for reccing my Hamster Princess story.

I definitely need more Dragaera fandom friends -- as well as people of discerning taste, obviously ;)

Friends? (or at least I've subscribed)

[shadaras]

Archive of Our Own username: Shadaras
Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): Tumblr: Shadaras; this is my Dreamwidth
Preferred platform(s): I use tumblr and Dreamwidth for very different things; I reblog pretty aesthetic stuff and fandom stuff and puns on tumblr, and actually occasionally post about my life on dreamwidth now that I'm actually using it.
I like to post about/read about: People's lives and what they're reading! Also fandom meta is cool.
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Things I'm actively fannish about: Star Wars (inc. old EU, not inc. new EU), superhero movies (+fandom-osmosis of comics), Friends at the Table (podcast), Star Trek (mostly Discovery, but I have a fondness for the rest too), Killjoys (TV).
Things I just like: A lot of books! I'll list out some authors, in no order other than when I thought of them: Ursula K. Le Guin, Tamora Pierce, Yoon Ha Lee, Aliette de Bodard, J. Y. Yang, Ann Leckie, Max Gladstone.
This Yuletide I wrote: For my assignment: be/loved (Star Trek: Discovery) - Michael Burnham and Ash Tyler talk about their feelings and trauma/hangups about potentially beginning a relationship.
As a treat:Work Your Way Our (Friends at the Table: Twilight Mirage) - A series of vignettes about Signet and Grand Magnificent and how they and their relationship have changed over the years. Grand Mag character study across the show, really.
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? Post here!
Anything else you want to say: I like people! The tumblr exodus is what brought me to dreamwidth, really, so I haven't quite gotten used to how it works yet -- but I'm trying to figure it out and talk to people more here. :)

[dolorosa_12]

I'm always keen to add people who are interested in book fandoms, and most of yours (Le Guin, Aliette de Bodard, J. Y. Yang, Max Gladstone) overlap with book fandoms of my own. Would it be okay to subscribe to you?

[mk_tortie]

I’m also into JRPGs - my primary fandom these days is Persona, but I’ve played Chrono Trigger (definitely due for a replay, it was quite a while ago!) and I’ve started but not yet finished Trails in the Sky. Mind if I subscribe?

[dolorosa_12]

Archive of Our Own username: Dolorosa
Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): I'm obviously dolorosa_12 on Dreamwidth. I have a reviews blog on Wordpress (dolorosa12), and am on Twitter and Instagram as ronnidolorosa and ronnidolorosa, and am happy to be added by people on any of those places. All I ask is that if your username is very different to the one you use on Dreamwidth that you let me know who you are! I'm also on Pillowfort, but don't post there — I'm only there to ensure that no one takes the Dolorosa username!
Preferred platform(s): Dreamwidth and Instagram.
I like to post about/read about: A mixture of fannish and non-fannish things. I post book reviews, recs posts of both fanfic and original fiction, as well as longer meta posts. Occasionally I post about politics, and about being a migrant. I also post quite a bit about my everyday life - I'm a librarian in an academic library, and I used to be a medievalist academic, and I post about both those things from time to time. I'm online for discussion, commenting and interaction, and I love talking to people about things that interest them.
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I'm both extremely multifannish, but extremely loyal to the fandoms in which I'm invested. Most of my fandoms are small, Yuletide-eligible book fandoms: Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and Sally Lockhart Mysteries books, The Pagan Chronicles series by Catherine Jinks, Galax Arena and the Space Demons trilogy by Gillian Rubinstein, pretty much everything Victor Kelleher has ever written, the Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon, the Romanitas trilogy by Sophia McDougall, the books of Kate Elliott, Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology, Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle, S. A. Chakraborty's Daevabad series, Katherine Arden's Winternight trilogy, The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton, Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver and Uprooted, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and a whole lot of mythology, folk tales and fairytales. In terms of larger fandoms, I dip in and out of the MCU (I love Thor: Ragnarok and, indeed, everything Taika Waititi's ever done, really enjoyed Black Panther, and am looking forward to Captain Marvel), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Daria, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Veronica Mars are my TV forever fandoms, and I adore Mad Max: Fury Road. I'm also a huge fan of Briseis from the Iliad, and am always on the lookout for Iliad retellings that focus on her, and on the other female characters (although please don't recommend The Song of Achilles to me).
This Yuletide I wrote: Four fics: my assignment, Winter Branches, a pre-canon The Dark Is Rising fic about Merriman and the Black Rider, After Exaltation, another pre-canon Black Rider and Merriman fic, Drink the Earth, a post-canon, canon-divergent Bran/Elia fic in the Queens of Innis Lear fandom, and What the Sky Looks Like from Your View, which is Vasya/Morozko fic in the Winternight trilogy fandom.
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I've written an extensive recs post here.
Anything else you want to say: I absolutely love talking to people about books, and I get a large number of reading recommendations from my Dreamwidth and Twitter feeds. I'd be very keen to friend anyone who's interested in talking about books! More generally, I'm online because I like talking to people, so I'm always keen to add good commenters, and I try to be a good commenter myself.

[shadaras]

Aha I just read this, and, of course I like you; you're an academic librarian and medievalist. That's basically the kind of people I grew close to in college and still love and talk to a lot as it is. :)

I recognise most of the books you mentioned, even if I haven't read all of them! I look forward to hopefully talking to you more as time goes on. :)

I like to post about/read about: I mostly post about my life, photos often enough, and sometimes reviews about books or TV shows. I'd like to be more fannish in my journal, though, and I enjoy reading about other people being fannish, even fandoms I don't share. Fannish enthusiasm is contagious! At the moment I'd love to find other Rivers of London fans to discuss Lies Sleeping with.

Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I am multifannish. My main fandoms are Rivers of London, Merlin, Sherlock, Veronica Mars and Firefly. I adore costume dramas and I enjoy most cop/mystery books/TV shows.

Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I've only started dipping into the collection today, so not yet. Christmas is a pretty busy time of year and I have a newborn.

Anything else you want to say: My journal is mostly locked because I talk about my life a lot, but I grant access to anyone who asks for it.

I have two kids but I promise I am not one of those parents who just talk about their children all the time.

[lyr]

I agree that fannish enthusiasm is contagious, and it always makes me feel good to be adjacent to it, even for fandoms I don't share. I can't really add anything to a Rivers of London discussion, I'm afraid, but I've got you on the rest of those fandoms. Subscribed!

Anything else you want to say: ...hi?

Ooh, Sense8, ATLA, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and other small fandoms? I'd definitely like to add you. I post a lot about small fandoms myself, especially books.

I'm not on Tumblr any more, but I'll add you on Dreamwidth if that's okay.

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): raggedclause on LJ (but I haven't updated that in a kajillion years); erroursden on Twitter; I never got into Tumblr, alas. I also used to blog at The Midnight Garden a few years ago.
Preferred platform(s): uh, Twitter, but hey, maybe I'll start blogging again.
I like to post about/read about: YA lit, romance novels, science fiction. I like to read about teaching and academia but won't post about it myself.
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Currently, Killing Eve.
This Yuletide I wrote: a 16th century RPF fic, "On the Subject of Magnetic Bodies" ( linked here)
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? This was a particularly wonderful Yuletide. Some of my favorites were: Battle Lines (Gilgamesh), rosy as a flushed red apple skin (never been as sweet) (Medieval Manuscript Illuminations), and Life, Death, and Breakfast (The Good Place), among many many others.
Anything else you want to say: I just started this Dreamwidth account (so there's nothing on it as of yet). But I could always use more people to chat about romance with. And/or Killing Eve. And/or early modern England.

Hello, new person. Hope having someone reading you will encourage activity.

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): sweetsorcery - on all those
Preferred platform(s): mostly posting on Tumblr for convenience, but use them all
I like to post about/read about: my pairings and fandoms, poetry, art, literature mostly pre-1960, history, paganism, classic movies, music... I'm interested in a lot of different things
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Fantastic Beasts, HP, Hornblower, LOTR, Master and Commander, The Singer not the Song, The Terror and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (have yet to write for those), Star Trek, many others; I tend to love historical fandoms and am really glad this Yuletide nudged me into writing about the Romantic Poets, so there'll be more of that in future :)
This Yuletide I wrote: Adonais, Besieged - Romantic Poets RPF, Keats/Shelley and Byron/Keats/Shelley
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I'm afraid I only had the time to read my own gifts so far, but I definitely rec them both - Everything is Permissible by spring_bloom - The Singer not the Song (1961) Father Keogh/Anacleto, and Studiously Yours by misura - Hornblower (TV) Hornblower/Pellew
Anything else you want to say: I'm all about m/m slash. I've long since stopped pretending I want to read or write anything else, in fandom terms. I'm tolerant of everything that doesn't hurt anyone, so unless you're any kind of bigot, we'll probably get along. The writing I post is frequently explicit, so if you friend me, please be an adult. :)

[ng_moonmoth]

You had me at "writer of m/m slash". Not that I'm much for the actual slash, but that I'm likely to find someone who says they're all about that worth engaging with.

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): kangeiko on DW, twitter
Preferred platform(s): DW
I like to post about/read about: knitting, writing, books, films, personal stuff, fannish things
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Lots of comic and comics-adjacent fandoms (MCU, Marvel comicverse, Transmetropolitan, DC comics, Apollo & Midnighter, Fables, Sandman, etc). Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly, most other space shows. Historical fandoms (including RPF), book fandoms (including the films) including Austen, Shakespeare, Mieville, Harry Potter, Seafort Saga, Culture, Discworld. 80s and 90s films. Theatre. Fairy tales and classical mythology. I do multi-fandom challenges and am very eclectic in what I read and write for.
This Yuletide I wrote: The Harvest of Orhoch, a Left Hand of Darkness fic.
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I haven't had a chance to do much reading this year so I'm rather behind. However, as well as my lovely gifts (which were in The Nanny and Seafort Saga fandoms), I really enjoyed the Culture fics this year, and Sail is particularly delightful. The Amazing Adventures of Gay-bi-wan Kenobi and Bicurious Lad (an Askewniverse fic) made me laugh out loud and is perfectly in character.
Anything else you want to say: I'm always looking for book recs, so if you have a grand space opera you want to recommend, I'd be very interested.

I always love massive multi-fannishness! And I know I remember your name from crossing fannish paths before; I think on sga_talk ages ago, and I'm pretty sure you've left me feedback on AO3 before, too. Subscribed!
