STICKY POST / FAQ

[solovei]

Hello! 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:

• Star Trek (mostly DS9 but have seen all except ENT; not caught up on DISCO/PIC but have started)
• due South (I know, I'm like 20 years too late)
• Yuri on Ice!!
• Our Flag Means Death
• The Old Guard
• Haikyuu!!
• Gentleman Jack
• Hades and TSOA/Patrochilles more generally
• Probably something else I'm forgetting, I'm sorry, I get into so many things, seriously just ask me!

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 Fanworks Statement

In general, as long as you link back/credit, I'm happy with almost anything made in good faith. That's how we build networks and community and help each other discover cool stuff. I would also appreciate if you let me know in some way because I live for external validation.

• Translations: Yes!
• Podfic: Yes! Please send me a link, I'd love to hear it.
• Art: YES PLEASE!!! (♥_♥)
• Sequels/Remixes/Companion Fics: Sure, though if it's something really extensive, get in touch with me first. Also link back to mine or use the "Inspired by..." feature on Ao3.
• Fanmixes/Playlists: Go ahead!
• Reposting to external sites: No idea if anyone has done this, but please don't. This includes Goodreads.

+ If I'm posting some code or data stuff, go ahead and re-use that if you want for your own project. Most of mine is cobbled together from other sources anyway, so I don't claim any rights. Still, I'd love to see what you make! :D

Have fun, don't be a jerk, I love getting comments!
