Hello and Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my journal! This is mostly a place where I post fannish things, and sometimes about my hobbies and pictures of my pets and garden. I've been away from DW for quite a while and recently got back into using it regularly, so I'd love to make new/more friends! The majority of my posts are public since I rarely share anything personal here. I'm happy to add anyone as a friend, do feel free to drop me a line if you friend me so I don't miss it. I'm not fussed on whether or not we share fandoms - I love seeing/listening to people squee about their favourite things even when they are not my favourite things! (I'm very much kink-positive and ship and let ship.)

I've had a multi-fandom group chat on Twitter for a while and we recently decided that a Discord server would be nice for better organization (especially for things like pretty pics and recs). So, I've started a Discord server and I thought I'd open it up for others who might want a fannish refuge. 

We're an 18+ server (most of us are in our 30s or older), we're respectful of everyone's fandoms, ships, kinks etc. In the two years we have functioned as a Twitter group chat we have been blessedly drama-free and we want to remain as such. We like to share pretty pics and gifs (sometimes nsfw - which has a separate channel), talk about fandom, rec fanworks and music, and chat about general life things. 

If it's something that would interest you let me know and I'll give you an invite. :)

Well hello

Long time, no see, DW friends. It's me, ragingrainbow - my Tumblr got hacked a while back and I couldn't recover it so I decided to change my name across platforms so everything matched. And it was apparently time for an update, because ragingrainbow seemed to be associated with some Minecraft thing now?

I've had a few years of feeling like I was falling out of fandom and just generally feeling meh about stuff (RL happens, and all that), but now I feel like I have the spoons and am ready to jump back into things again!

Challenge #2
In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.


Let's start this post off by revisiting last years goals so I can give myself a little pat on the back for what I achieved!

Yes, I intend to catch up with this! Day 2 challenge was to interact with someone new, and I checked out and replied to some intro posts from other participants I haven't  spoken to before, so I consider that one done. :)

Challenge #1 In your own space, introduce yourself! 

Day 1 )
armanya: (Default)

One of the things I wanted to try to do this year in order to use Dreamwidth more (and also just as a writing task and being better at reccing things) was to make a monthly DW post with things I watched/read/played/listened to and fanwork recs from the past month. I actually starting writing a post for January over a week ago but I lost two thirds of it because computers are annoying sometimes, and I just didn't have the motivation to redo it until now (linking all the recs takes some time!). Let's hope I have better luck this time! 

Two notes: Not all the recs here will be new things, just things I in the given month. Some may not even be new to me - I might end up being excited about old things I dug back up too. I will stay away from major spoilers here - there might end up being some very minor ones.

Some Challenges/Prompt Memes for February )

Stage 5: They're Blocking the Path!
Today, in your own space, talk about your favorite antagonist in gaming. What game are they from? Are they a recurring antagonist or a once-off roadblock? Do they have a cool theme song? And so on.

(Spoilers: This contains minor spoilers for Mass Effect 1/2/3 and bigger spoilers for Dragon Age 2.)
Stage 5 )

Stage 4: Faves and Recs
Part 1: in your own space, decide on your favorite genre of game. Declare it. 
Part 2: Once you've done the above, select three games that you think are the best examples of your favorite genre.
Part 3: State the one character that is your favorite in each of these games. Talk about them.
Part 4: Rec three or more fanwork(s), each of which features at least one of your three favorite characters.
Stage 4 )

Stage 3: Hometown + Community
Today, in your own space, talk about where you go to talk about games: your favorite communities! They can be here on Dreamwidth or off on other sites - which you can link to, if you want - or they can be offline. Wherever they are, they are your communities and today you can tell us why you like them and why they’re the place for you.

Stage 3 )

For those who might want to join this challenge, stage 1 was a friending meme.  

Stage 2: A Gamer is You
As much as we like to say we've been playing video games all our lives, each of us had to start somewhere and go from there. Today, in your own space, talk about your history as a gamer. Where did it all begin? When did it all begin? Which games had the biggest impact on you? And so on.

Stage 2 )

Challenge #15 )
armanya: (P&P Lizzy Pervy Thoughts)


Challenge #14
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) What makes it particularly appealing for you? What do you like in fanworks featuring that trope?

Challenge #14 (in which I ramble about my kinks) )
