Subscription/Access Policy: Public posts in general, with some members-locked ones. Everyone is free to add, though!
What I chat about: Usually whatever random thoughts are going on, particularly any fandom thoughts I have. I want to post more often, particularly in talking about a couple creative projects I've got going on. So, pretty much anything I feel like posting...? With heavy irregularity; it's not unusual for me to go weeks without using my journal, so don't be concerned if I vanish off the face of DW for a while.
I'm looking to connect with people who: Want to chat, whether about random things or fandom things (even if non-shared fandoms). Collaborators, other creators, or people who just want to have ordinary conversations! I'm not that interested in taking part in discourse or anti culture, and I don't tend to post many negative things myself, but if you wanna chat about something and get it off your chest, that's also fair game.

Main Fandoms: Disney Ducks (particularly the wider Uncle $crooge comicsverse) is a big one, as is Fraggle Rock. Pokemon and Digimon are also huge ones cohabitating in my brain. Oh! And also Megaman, especially the EXE series. These are all pretty equally big fandoms in my book. And Red Dead Redemption 2 and RDO; looking to play RDR1 someday, but that's a little out of my reach right now.

Other Fandoms: Dimension 20, Skyrim, Dungeon Meshi, Fullmetal Alchemist, Animal Crossing, Dreamlight Valley, Undertale and Deltarune, Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts, In Stars and Time, Stardew Valley, The Sims, Sherlock Holmes, assorted other older anime, Dragonlance, DnD as a whole, assorted Disney franchises, assorted Dreamworks franchises, been really getting into CBS's Ghosts, really I've been in fandom spaces for a long time there's a LOT here, I KNOW I'm forgetting some...
What I Create for Fandom: Fanart, for the most part. The occasional fic, but mostly it's drawing.
Other Hobbies: Reading, photography, hiking, fishing, video games, painting

[My partner’s watching a video on how to name your characters.
One of the suggestions is to take an adjective that describes your character and make an anagram of it.]

Only one clearly named top-level thread for each of the following topics:

Discussion of UK politics related sexual abuse and rape culture should go into one properly labeled subthread.

addme

Name: Bizette

Age: 20

I mostly post about: My characters, my art, my life, and just whatever interests me that day.

My hobbies are: Making art, HTML, anime and manga, video games, writing, listening to music, talking with friends, cycling, reading comics, daydreaming and baking.

My fandoms are: None tbh, but I guess I'm part of the glamfur and sparkledog scenes :P

I'm looking to meet people who: Chill folk who can handle my cheesiness, fellow glamfur/sparkledog or even animecore artists who like RPing, other lesbians and gays, and mature individuals who can engage in good faith.

My posting schedule tends to be: Daily and weekly for the most part due to not having a life, lol

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Fandom/flavour-of-the-month/fanfiction posting, constant politics talk or arguing about politics, YouTube spam, homophobes and lesbophobes, bigots of all stripes, bad grammar and spelling, inactive accounts/blank journals, Twitter/TikTok types, white saviour types, religious weirdos, gooners/porn addicts, AI "art" bros, and wannabe edgy lords/mean girls (this ain't 4Chan, blud!).

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a black woman with ADHD and Dyslexia; so please be patient with me and try not to be randomly racist lmao. I do post vents, but only when I feel it's appropriate. I'm basically always free to chat; so feel free to message me :D, I do have an edgy sense of humour, but I'm smart enough to tone it down if needed, I'm based in the UK - so I might not see your message immediately if you're in a different timezone, and please avoid labelling me a furry :/

Current Mood: giddy

renegadefolkhero

Struggling a bit here. My current book is at about 60k and I'm projecting 100k, and "Why Am I Doing This?" keeps rattling through my brain.

One of my colleagues recently made $10,000 on their first novel the first month. Friendly reminder I recently had my best launch month, which was $250. This writer is three decades my junior, and very new to writing comparatively. They made more in one day than I made in a month. They made more in one month than I did in 3 years.

( Read more... )

Anyway, all this to say, this is awesome, and this author is a very kind, hard-working person, but fml. Royalties are reflective of readership, so even if you ostensibly don't care about the money, you actually do care because that's the primary metric by which we gauge interest and engagement with the work.

As a matter of self-preservation, I've recently adopted the attitude "my books don't sell and that's okay," as way to sorta push through my doubts and keep publishing. But the truth is... that's not a very good strategy. Because you need a carrot and a goal. "I write because that's what I do" is neither. So I'm gonna sit down and revisit my goals and think about being a bit more brave in terms of my ambitions and defining my own success.

[ SECRET SUBMISSIONS POST #970 ]

The first secret from this batch will be posted on July 26th.

RULES:
1. One secret link per comment.
2. 750x750 px or smaller.
3. Link directly to the image.

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.

Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment!

addme

Name: Patch
Age: 34

I mostly post about:
Quiet living, books with margin notes, tea blends, visible mending, soft rituals, and the small things that anchor a day — light through curtains, a sentence that stays with you, a note Rae once wrote.

My hobbies are:
Reading (especially secondhand or annotated books), mending clothes by hand, brewing tea like it’s a spell, walking in the woods, archiving, journalling, and noticing the in-between moments.

My fandoms are:
Discworld (especially the witches), gentle fantasy, soft folklore, The Last Unicorn, Stardew Valley, and anything that feels like wool and wonder.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Love longform blogging, notice quiet details, have soft rituals of their own, and enjoy the kind of friendship that builds slowly and kindly over time.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Weekly-ish — sometimes more if I’m feeling thoughtful or tea-drowsy.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty masked as “honesty,” bigotry, mockery, or a lack of care for the softer parts of others.

Before adding me, you should know:
I’m quiet and sentimental, I tag generously, and I write as if I’m tucking things away in a drawer. Rae (she/her) appears often in my posts — she’s someone I love, even if I rarely say it aloud. If you like slow friendships and soft mornings, I’d be glad to meet you.

Subscription/Access Policy: I am fairly easy about access/subscribing/etc. with a few exceptions. No sharing any comments from my posts, mine or others, outside of this platform. And if it's locked, it's locked. I use filters, so sometimes having access to one post is not access to others. Good? Then feel free to read/add/etc. If I like you, I'll do the same. Feel free to read the topmost sticky on my journal (should be public) or any with the ban policy tags for further details.

Fannish Interests: A lot? I'm old. Lots of old-school anime. Doctor Who, old and new (and new new). Musicals and literary fandoms. Mostly I write my own stuff. I'm DameGrise on AO3 with fics from The Scarlet Pimpernel and others.

I like to post about: My life, mostly, fan stuff sometimes, health issues, etc. I have various filters.

About Me/Other Info: Older Southern female librarian stuck in the Midwest. I write, play video games. I'm disabled and queer. Ask?

I tagged big general things if that's okay.
