★ Apparently I can only focus on one site at a time when it comes to fannish participation. I'm sure there are people who frequent both Tumblr and LJ/DW without falling behind on either, but I'm certainly not one of them. I spent most of the summer on Tumblr, and basically ignored DW happenings until this month, when I started lurking on anon memes/![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomsecrets. So now I miss, I dunno, approximately a bazillion posts on Tumblr each day I don't visit. Normally I wouldn't care because Tumblr is 90% amusing but ultimately disposable gifs, but in an ~unexpected twist~ I've been sending in asks and messages to other people/blogs and now I'm having trouble finding the replies, OH NOOOOOOOOO. I feel like I've blown them off. :(
★ Have been reading a lot of ani-manga and comics related meta and it makes me wish there were more communities and journals on DW/LJ for meta. There's a fair amount of discussion on the anon memes/F!S, but I'd really like to drown in some good old fashioned TL;DR fan essays on like...everything. WRT anime and manga,frillsofjustice and the Magical Girl Project have been pretty good sources for mahou shoujo, but for Western comics there's...I dunno?
I've heard there are some tumblr users that post meta, but I'm not particularly interested in looking them up. I'm a skulking lurker type at heart, but even so I'd like the option of an involved discussion which tumblr does not facilitate well.
★ Speaking of TL;DR, I havea lot of FEEEEEEEELSSS some strong opinions on Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan, mostly wrt the pitfalls of using time-travel and pseudo-quantum theory bullshit as a plot point/trope; if I ever get my shit together I might even post them in a semi-readable manner. This is because most of the reactions I've read fall into three categories:
-OMG SO GOOD!!!
-Complaints about the writing/handling of the Before Watchmen series as a whole (with little in the way of specific criticism)
-Is it homage or plagiarism?
Of course I may just let this beautiful 'shoop illustrate my feelings.
★ The two fics I'm currently working on forkink_bingo are completely different from the ideas I initially had a few months ago. I don't know why I keep outline things only to throw them out before even starting them properly.
I am going ahead with Skullgirls, Painwheel-centric creepy!fic, though. It just doesn't involve Valentine anymore.
