Quick Intro Post

[igrockspock]

Hello!

After many years of clinging stubbornly to LJ, I am slowly moving my fannish presence over here. To get started, here is a really really short introduction to igrockspock.

Fandom: Right now, my main fandom is all the Star Wars, most especially all the Leia things. I also play in the MCU Netflix verse, especially where Claire Temple is concerned. Veronica Mars is the forever fandom that I'll always love and always write in occasionally. Past fandoms include Avengers, Harry Potter, and Star Trek AOS.

Professionally: I am a public high school teacher in the Midwestern USA. Sometimes I post about that, sometimes it shows up in my fic in obvious and not-so-obvious ways.

Personally: I love to travel. I love making budget spreadsheets for potential trips and writing how-to posts to show other people how to travel cheaply. I came home from Romania today and hope to start posting my travelogue soon.

New friends: Please stop by and say hi! My stubborn refusal to abandon LJ meant that I lost touch with a lot of online friends, so I would love to meet new people. I post anywhere from once a day to once a week, depending on how busy life is. Fannish posts are always unlocked; travel and teaching stuff is always locked. The balance of fannish and RL content is probably about 50/50, but varies a bit depending on where I am in the school year.

Hi! I'm glad you're here since I don't get over to LJ much anymore!

[igrockspock]

Nice to see you again too! I'm amazed at how much longer my reading list is over here!

[tielan]

I can't cross-post to LJ anymore, thanks to the Russian TOS, so I don't think I've posted anything there for about 10 weeks now.

And yes! It's nice to have a moving reading list!

Hi! Welcome!

I've been trying to drift away from LJ for a while now. The sad thing is the dreamwidth is much quieter by comparison, but I'm really glad you're coming over! :)

[igrockspock]

Really? My DW feed is already twice as long as my LJ feed, and I only just started adding people today!

Welcome to dreamwidth! :)

So.... what sort of Leia things do you like? <-Also Leia fan, biiiiig time.

Also good luck with the upcoming school year; being a teacher is amazing and stressful as all hell. XD

[igrockspock]

ALL THE LEIA THINGS. Is that too general? I have such a long history with Leia. When I was a kid, I loved "boy" things like GI Joe, and I would sit and wait for the ONE female character to save the day...and sometimes she would, by making a super important phone call or taking very excellent notes at a meeting or something. Then I saw Star Wars, and Leia shot people and got shot and called the shots, and I've been smitten ever since.

Lately, I've been really obsessed with trying to figure out all the gaps between movies. What was her life like before ANH? What was she doing with Ben and Han before TFA? How is she putting her life back together now? And also, I might be just a touch obsessed with Leia/Poe because I really think she deserves some kind of happy ending, even if it's just a fling with a hot fighter pilot.

Welcome! Abandoning LJ was tough; good to see you here :)

[igrockspock]

Nice to see you too!

Hi! Glad to see you here! :) If you want some helpful hints about settling in on DW, I found this post very helpful!

[igrockspock]

Thank you! That was very helpful!

[princessofgeeks]

Great to see you!

[igrockspock]

Nice to see you too!

Hi hi! I'm still not used to Dreamwidth myself, but figured this was a better option than signing that TOS mess. Hopefully we can both figure it out as we go LOL

[igrockspock]

I'm pretty indifferent to the LJ TOS, but I want to be where the people are! Nice to see you over here!

[maplemood]

Hi! I've read and enjoyed your fics (especially your fics for Daredevil and Luke Cage) for a while now; it's great to see you over here. :)

[igrockspock]

Thank you! It's nice to meet you!

Welcome to DW and thanks for adding me! I haven't posted much here yet, but largely because I haven't posted much period - life, and all that. But will have some travelogues of my own coming soon! :-)

Hi! I think we have crossed paths on AO3 and maybe some comments in other peoples' blogs? Right now, I love MCU Netflix (not Iron Fist tho), especially Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, still clinging to MCU Stucky, always love Star Wars. I'm trying to be more fannish again and blog less IRL/political stuff, right now I'm in love with Wonder Woman. also I love your Nat story about her intro to Western lit through books and have recommended it to many people If you'd like to add/friend, very cool, if not, no hard feelings!
