Me at a glance
Hi there, you can call me Lunar! Or shopfront, or hey you, I'm not that fussy.

The basic summary of fangirl me is that I'm broadly multi-fandom and multi-shipping with a focus generally on femslash and female characters with a handful of die-hard het and slash ships. I particularly love feminist, queer, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero themed media and fandoms, and I'm trying to get more into book fandoms but generally tend to focus on TV fandoms. I go through bouts of inactivity and lurking depending on my RL situation, though I'm returning after a long hiatus so that may change.

RL me is thirty-something married lesbian, and Australian but currently living in London. I will sometimes write about mental health and food (usually under cuts), love to cook and share food restriction friendly recipes, and have an interest in original creative writing and photography. But mostly this account is all fandom almost all the time.

For people already on my access list on:
Currently only using a filter to talk about my writing progress and goals, which is open to anyone who is interested so just let me know if you want in.




 

For people who haven't met me before:
I generally only lock things that are either personal/sensitive or contain some form of RL information I don't want open to google. The rest of my RL stuff and pretty much all my fandom stuff is public except for the above filters.

If you'd like access or feel free to request it at any time, I generally reciprocal subscribe/access. If you HAVE access but want to only see my fandom things, feel free to also ask me to de-access you at any time. If I've missed reciprocal adding you (which can happen if I'm busy offline, it's a busy friending meme season, or I'm not monitoring my inbox closely so please don't feel shy!) and you want to get to know me feel free to poke me here and ask me to add you back.

Generally speaking I'd love for my feed to be busier, so feel free to say hello or make a request here at any time!

I'm one of your co-mods (even though I'm probably going to be downgraded to volunteer since I have no idea what to do) over at [community profile] ladiesbigbang. Your journal looks interesting, we share a few fandoms and I'm okay with this introduction so I'm subscribing to you.
Absolutely no need to subscribe back, I just want to follow your updates!

Hi,
I'm the one you're kindly making a [community profile] ladiesbigbang complement for. Got curious, and I really like your journal so I'm subscribing in a jiffy. Great to have other multi-fannish people around, not to mention someone so female-friendly :)

Noticed we have a lot of shows in common(watched An Education the other day too, and loved it to bits). Wondering if you've ever seen The Good Wife? I think you would really enjoy it.

TGW doesn't seem to get much notice, fandom-wise, but it's an excellent show. Just had another friend breeze through the first season in less than a week. Great writing, great acting, and you're going to love just how much focus the female characters get.

Hi!

I wandered over from kouredios' friending meme and found your journal interesting, so I added you. Hope that's okay.

Hi, I wandered over here from [personal profile] beccatoria's journal since it sounded like you were interested in finding more OUAT fans. I haven't really done much with OUAT beyond gushing about it with my sister, but I have loved watching the show and I'm interested in finding out if I'd like to talk about it with other people. Also always happy to find people who treat DW as their main journal : )

I suffer from chronic lurker-dom, but I hope you don't mind me following you!

Hi there! New on Dreamwdith and looking to broaden my circles--I'm not super into movie/TV fandoms but heavily into SFF writing, and London based as well... Always happy to talk writing.

Hi! So now that the Space Swap reveals are up I can finally friend you without it being suspicious! (I'm the one that wrote your Reinette/Clara fic, and I've been wanting to friend you ever since jumping into your journal to research you for that, so yay at finally being able to! We do seem to have quite a few fandoms in common! :-)

Hey, I am not at all active these days either, but I'm in and out and definitely trying to connect with new people in fandom now that most of those I used to interact with have moved on, so yay!

Hello! I've seen you a bit around femslash circles and notice we have several fandoms and DW friends in common. I am also a 30-something lesbian and an Australian currently living elsewhere (Germany, in my case) and would love to be friends!

Arrived this week by way of the Write Every Day gallery (I am a [community profile] holmestice regular, several others among the regulars here also fit that category, and I am trailing along in hopes of improving my productivity in the near term).

About me: started reading the Oz books very early in grade school and have kept branching out since. Many geek credentials in SF/fantasy circles, plus interests in Sherlock Holmes (most flavors), Shakespeare and musical theater (as soon as it's medically advisable to go back, and on video till it is), stage magic, folk music, regional history, and the occasional baking of cookies (ask [personal profile] sanguinity, who's owed a batch). Native Oregonian; permanent non-driver (trust me, it's better that way). I have a zero-year birthday coming up end of November.

Current fannish interests: the new Carmen Sandiego series on Netflix (season 3 just dropped); the various new Star Trek series on CBS All Access (I quite like Discovery but have mixed feelings about Lower Decks). And if the brand-new Disney+ teen flick The Secret Society of Second-Born Royals gets a Yuletide nomination (I have no clue how likely that may be), I may offer for it.

We have some other fandoms in common as well; I've written for Agent Carter and various iterations of Doctor Who, for instance. (And did you know there's an ongoing blog-series going on at Tor.com on the DS9 Relaunch novels? Well worth a look if not; note that the page lists entries in reverse chrono order, with the newest at the top.)
