Mood: Anxious? Unsure? Ambivalent?

[thedeadlyhook]

I'm having a very odd moment of stage fright. It's been so long since I've posted regularly to LJ, that I've even had time to read my Friends page or check in with anyone, that coming back to the journal I've had for... holy crap, nearly 10 years(!) is starting to make me feel like a bit of an intruder. I have no idea what anyone's up to anymore or if anyone's even interested in reading Buffyfic these days.

Would it be weird if I started posting new chapters of my WIP? Bueller?

Hello! *waves*

And fic sounds lovely! <3

Dude, I was just listing you the other day in a list of WIPs I would give a finger (OK, one of those little cake things shaped like a finger) to see more chapters of. By all means post!

Weird! Nope, not at all.

Lay it on us! Speaking just for myself, I would be thrilled to see more.

So, the news is fairly simple. Those lucky ducks in the UK just had their summer weekend writerconUK event in Coventry, and you and I were not there. Boo. summer_of_giles was very active this year. sb_fag_ends continues to have good stuff. A lot of fandom happens on Tumblr these days, but I want to read, not just look a pretty pictures. FF.net has had a flurry of very nearly decent new Spuffy activity, though I don't trust that it won't do something to piss off the authors any day now. AO3 is the archive for all the cool kids. It's not pairing or fandom specific, and it doesn't have a lot of wacky rules and regs. Kalima / Lord Shiva, Celesteavonne, Laure Alexander (sp), Sadbhyl, mintwitch, kallysten, and many other classic authors are putting their old stuff up there, so you should, too! One caveat: the site lets people download to their reading device of choice, so there's not a lot of incentive for people to come back and comment when they've finished.

I know I'm forgetting something. Not exactly new news, but you did read knifeedgefic's stories, right? Also lostboy_lj's Clocks of the Long Now? Because if you're in a reading mood, those will hold you for awhile.

Hiya!
:) Hey, the Buffy fandom is alive and well, if a tad smaller, these days. I say, go for it!

**adds my waves to the crowd** A continued WIP is a loved WIP. I'll just pull up a chair and settle in for a read.

Hey you! I was just thinking about you the other week :) And continuations to old WIPs are always welcome :)

:Waves:

How wonderful to see you! How've you been? I can't believe it's over a year since we met.

It wouldn't be at all weird of you to post your fic. Please do, in fact (though am busy this weekend and may not get around to reading it till next week).

I am just happy to see you here again!

Post away!

Just saw this. It's weird trying to post again after being absent from LJ for a long time. For me, it's been a over a year since I did any regular posting, and before that it was several years. One of the great things about LJ is how welcoming people are and how forgiving of those long, RL-driven absences. I feel barely able to post these days, so I've decided to read and comment as a way to getting back in.
