Now That The Dust Has Settled
Dec. 4th, 2018 10:51 pmSince I'm finally starting to get a feel for this site, I think it's about time I do a proper introduction of myself and what I'm all about.
So, hello! I am Ally, but I also go by Geek. I am someangrygeek from Tumblr, but no one will recognise that name because I literally just use my Tumblr to lurk for good meme content. As you can probably guess, I've set up here on Dreamwidth following the amazing disaster of the Great Tumblr Purge, y'know, as a precaution.
Since Dreamwidth seems more about engaging with people than just lurking like I normally do, I'm gonna see if I can't be a bit more sociable, rather than the anxiety-riddled meme gremlin I've been for basically the whole seven years I've been active on the Internet. That being said, onto the kinda stuff I'll be likely to post;
- Possibly just random little rambles of things I might think are interesting or funny? I do this one to my friends on Discord a lot. I'm not sure if they also find it funny or if they're worried about me.
- Fanfic. Okay, I enjoy writing fanfic but it is ENTIRELY for self-gratification and my own personal amusement. I haven't really ever shared my fanfic online, in fact half the stuff I write I write by hand, because I enjoy the feel of writing with a pen. Were I to start posting any of my fic here, be warned, I have about 234972 OCs that I've created, cultivated, redesigned and reimagined over the 10+ years I've been writing for fun, and most of the fic I do write usually has a shippy flavour of OC/OC or OC/Canon Character I Feel Like Exploring. Like I said, self-indulgent stuff.
- If all goes well on the fanfic front I... miiiiight dip my toes into writing NSFW stuff? I do write it, but again I have NEVER shared it, and that would take a huge boost in confidence for me to take the step and do it. It looks like Dreamwidth has options to age restrict specific posts (correct me if I'm wrong) so I can keep my account relatively open and then on the fateful day of me no longer being embarrassed at my own writing, I'll give it a shot. But those are distant days ahead.
That's pretty much it, I think. As you might've noticed, I have interest in a LOT of fandoms, but the way that works is I intensely focus on one, maybe two fandoms at a time for a few months, and just cycle through all of them. You can probably tell what my focus is by what I'm posting. Right now, I am three weeks into a newfound obsession with Magic: The Gathering. Still not great at the card game but playing on MTG Arena is fun, and I adore reading the stories behind it, I find the settings interesting and the characters are great.
Okay! I think that's it for now. It's getting late here in the UK, but I'm feeling good about this new chapter in my internet escapades. Let's have some fun.
