Welcome New Friends!

So, as the LJ friending meme seems to be winding down I thought I'd do an introduction post so friends old and new can see what they've gotten themselves into by friending me.

I discovered livejournal through Torchwood and for the longest time Jack Harkness was my fandom. I read, wrote and had numerous discussions about him and the rest of the Torchwood team and that spread to include Doctor Who as well (in all incarnations as I'd been a Classic Who fan from way back). After a bit it occurred to me to spread out fannishly; I watched NCIS, why not find comms for it and participate in it as well? Some fandoms I eased into via crossovers (Jack Harkness is so easily crossed into other fandoms) and others through my flist (which somehow I developed despite not really meaning to).

Currently my fannishly activity has cooled a bit. In some cases it's due to a lack of interest in current canon (I never did finish watching Miracle Day and current NCIS episodes make me angry) but is also a result of a lack of new canon (Sherlock S3 isn't until when?) and the fact my flist had gotten rather inactive, which I'm hoping will change due to the friending meme.

I write a lot, or try try to anyway, and generally write short. Approximately a third of my stories are drabbles (and I'm of the belief that a drabble = 100 words exactly). I don't have a true sense of how many of my stories are ficlets (between 101-999 words) or full length stories (longer than 1k) but only four are greater than 10k- 2 Torchwood bigbangs, a Jack Harkness in Atlantis Torchwood/SGA crossover and a Merlin fic. So don't expect to see a lot of epics here.

Do expect a lot of fandoms though, I think the most recent count put the list somewhere at about 60 different ones. Quite a number, however, are once offs, either a [livejournal.com profile] yuletide present, written for [livejournal.com profile] consci_fan_mo, a comment-fic fill or a wacky crossover.

So, that's me. Fannishly speaking anyway. But, since I'm a lot better at fannish squee than talking about anything else, it's probably the best place to start. Stop on by and say hi or take a gander at the ficlist links I've on my sidebar and see if anything strikes your fancy (they need a bit of an overhauling, sorry) if you'd like. Welcome to my LJ and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Will have to work on the number of caffeinated beverage icons I keep on hand, just for commenting in your journal.

I heartily approve! :)
