I've been really enjoying reading people's ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snowflake_challenge posts, which I vaguely recall enjoying in years past as well. So maybe I should try it myself? Forcing myself to write anything on the regular is probably not a bad plan.
So: Challenge #1 - In your own space, introduce yourself!
Hi! I've been kaydee falls in online fandom since...uh, 1998 or thereabouts. And because I am a stubborn little shit, I still use the fannish name I created for myself at age thirteen, which. Well. Thanks, bb!kaydee, for not going with something like MuldersBae85, present!kaydee appreciates it. There is still X-Files and RENT fic associated with this handle somewhere in the darkest reaches of Gossamer and ff.net. We all just kind of magnanimously agree not to acknowledge it.
In RL, I'm a white cis Jewish lesbian New Yorker with a purple streak in my hair, because I've given up and embraced the stereotype. Also, married. Lapsed professional theater stage manager, currently managing the donor database of a large civil rights non-profit instead.
In fandom, I write fic and make vids. Nowhere near as frequently as I used to, but hey, 2019 was like my big fandom comeback (by which I mean, I actually completed new content -- five fics! two vids!), so here's hoping that continues, because I really missed being creative in the few years prior. Even when I'm not doing much creating myself, though, I am always, always reading fic. Just constantly.
I cycle unpredictably through fandoms as a reader, tend to go on extended kicks of pairings for a few weeks before jumping on to the next (or, more accurately, back to the old). Right now I'm mainlining Finn/Poe (Star Wars) like nobody's business. Also recently cycled intensely through 00Q and Arthur/Eames and Zuko/Katara, none of which I have actually written (well, a bit of Inception when it first came out, but other than that). Writing-wise, lately I've been hovering around my comfort zone of Marvel in general (MCU and/or X-Men), and that will likely continue, but who knows? There's a potential FinnPoe fic knocking around my brain, and hey, I certainly never predicted Good Omens this time last year. (Also, just watched new ep of Doctor Who like an hour ago and BOY HOWDY am I re-invested.) Vids tend to be more random, fandom-wise, and less OTP-centric. I should probably go finish my Festivid now. So...yeah.
And that's me, I guess?

Date: 2020-01-04 12:22 pm (UTC)Haha! I'm still using my original user name, as well. It confuses me when people change their user names at the drop of a hat, which seems to be a new-ish phenom? It happens on Tumblr all the time and I'm staring at a journal name on my follow list going, did you used to be XYZ?!!
Good luck with your goal to create more fannish content!
Right now I'm mainlining Finn/Poe (Star Wars) like nobody's business.
This is on my list of things to do once mod'ing Snowflake gives me more time. Especially given Oscar Isaac's comments. I really want there to be a ton of new Finn/Poe as an FU to Disney.
Good Omens!!!! Loved the show, but I'm not deep into the fandom; I read the occasional fic and reblog the lovely art and gifsets.
I see from your interests that you like Steve/Bucky and Sports Night!!!! So much love for both of them. (I bought the SN DVDs for Christmas one year - my gift from Pip - and watched them, like, three times back to back because I enjoyed them so much. I'm not generally a fan of the sitcom because they rely on 'stupid' humor (ie, someone doing something stupid or humiliating to get a laugh), and this show just seemed so SMART!)
I've bookmarked your fic post for later reading!

Date: 2020-01-07 02:36 am (UTC)SPORTS NIGHT <3. That was such a beautiful little gem of a show, I adore it so much. I'm also not much of a sitcom fan, but man, it was just so clever.
Nice to meet you! Thanks for modding this challenge!
