thanks to @annathecrow for the tag! kinda feel like everyone here who’s interested has already done this at this point but maybe @Lady and @ljwrites could be convinced? :D

16) What are 3 tags that will make you click no matter what?
i tend to sort more based on recs than tags

14) How did you get into your current fandom?

time travel

10) What's the last fandom merch or craft you got?
this lovely guardian postcard from yue 💖

11) Rare pairs, big ships, or gen?
rare pairs, or more accurately small fandoms. I like hanging out in fannish spaces where you can at least kinda know everyone

very multi-fannish as evidenced by my #DecRecs submissions lol

7) Who's your ult OTP?
this is not a relevant concept to my relationship with fandom

8) Share a pic that would convince someone to fall for your current fandom!
are there people who can get baited into a fandom from a single pic? not even sure where to start with this tbh

9) Have you ever met a fandom friend IRL?
several! no one currently on fedi but purringvulcan, sadieyuki, flannellizard, & i all spent a weekend together in DC back in 2016 & i’ve since hung out with them offline a few times each for various occasions. my best friend and i have also been dragging eachother into various fandoms for over a decade now

4) What was your first fandom?
first fancon was harry potter (leaky chicago), first fanfic i wrote was james bond (long story), but the emotionally correct answer here is star trek tos

5) How often has fic made you cry?
…struggling to think of a time i’ve cried over a fic tbh. im sure its happened! but not recently lol

6) Rec a fic that you love!
i reread stark_burnt_heart’s How Does Distance Look? when i can’t sleep (so…often) & when the light goes out by
janonny is the classic postcanon guardian fixit for me

1) How long have you been in fandom?
It’s difficult to pin down exactly (does being fannish irl with friends count, for example?) but definitely over a decade!

2) Which fandoms are you in now?
Guardian & cdramas in general (I have a lovely watchparty group that I hang out with), star wars (prequel era mostly), & kpop are my main three

3) Do you create transformative works (fic, fan art, podfic, etc.)?
Not that you can currently find online ;)

@Lady @essentialrandom mh yeah i was going to say i’d only be interested in alt text getting embedded as metadata if it somehow preserved the ability to retrieve alt text without the actual image for slow connections, limited data plans, & browsing old sites where 3rd party embeds have failed (ive been in all 3 situations at various points). and that seems logistically p difficult lol

@tempest kitty is all holidayed out and settling in for a long winters nap instead

@ian@hachyderm.io if you live in the US, Upton Tea is a fairly reputable importer! i recently reviewed one of their black teas here: https://glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/109280800945589593 (think i forgot a direct link to the tea itself in the thread but thats https://www.uptontea.com/yunnan-black-tea/loose-leaf-china-black-tea/p/V00972/ )
