STICKY POST / FAQ
Feb. 25th, 2025 11:55 amHello! You've stumbled upon my dreamwidth account. You might know me from Tumblr or Ao3 or something like that, or maybe even Ye Olde Livejournal Days, however I don't remember all the usernames I had on there (I think one of them was disco_prince)
Fandoms I'm Into These Days:
Regarding Stand Still Stay Silent: back when I made this account I was pretty into this webcomic; you'll notice that I still have a large number of fics about it on Ao3. I've since left that fandom - something that's pretty rare for me. I tend to just let my interest peter out over time, occasionally coming back and rediscovering old favorites again. I'm still in touch with a few friends I made through that comic, though I don't think any of them participate in the fandom anymore either, for a variety of reasons. The attitude towards shipping and even mildly slashy works drove a lot of the artists away or into secret sideblogs, and the ensuing "debate" about whether NSFW work should be "allowed" on the forums further drove a stake into the community.
Also, I'm told the author of the webcomic started getting into some weird Christian proselytizing, so. Nope.
( Blanket Statement )
Have fun, don't be a jerk, I love getting comments!
