fandom intro question meme
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
fandom intro question meme
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
fandom intro question meme
originally from https://fandom.ink/@bts_fanfic/109480796231157795 w/the text based list here: https://tinyurl.com/4373urj7
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 ;)
I don’t usually do question memes but I got tagged in one the other day and I have 20 minutes to kill…
#Ao3TagOfTheDay the plot is sex and the character development is also sex

this yuletide fic based on -- of all things -- a corporate 30-year-plan pdf is... a lot. So good, so devastating, highly recommend https://archiveofourown.org/works/43673575

Today I'm really struggling physically and mentally with my hand pain. So for #DecRecs I'm reccing "Elder, an Aesthetic" by MarbleGlove https://archiveofourown.org/works/40189629 (gen, #TheUntamed, 8k words)
This is a very soothing fic about learning to live with disability

finally following up on this… 
Here is the list of problems that our instance has identified with the Mastodon 4.0 upgrade, and how much work I think it will take to address these issues. I think we will probably want to fix all the things which aren’t labelled “Hard” before we merge in the latest changes here.

Comments welcome!

The culture of describing media on Mastodon is something to be treasured - there's a reason a lot of us hesitate to share undescribed images. The fediverse has a pretty thriving disabled community, and image descriptions often convey more focused information that someone who (for example) can't parse error messages might not otherwise understand.
A lot of media is hard to describe - we never know what to say when we post music, for example - but even something cursory can give context.

Gonna reshare our image description advice thread from April - feel free to share the above around with anyone who might need it!
Alternatively, share these other resources on the same subject:
- @AmaBagins's thread from a Digital Accessibility Tester perspective, which has a bunch more resources: https://mastodon.art/@AmaBagins/109321545433041372
- @M0YNG's extensive guide, which covers lots of different fediverse UIs: https://m0yng.uk/Image-descriptions-on-the-Fediverse/
- @Curator's short and sweet guide for artists: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/108197411515405526
Writing image descriptions can be a hard habit to pick up, and it can be tricky to do, but it makes a difference and you can get good at it and develop your own style.
Thanks for your time!

Todays #DecRecs is for https://stickerguy.com because i’ve had this glow in the dark sticker from @pagrus up for like two years and, even tho the location means its only getting fairly dim LED light, it somehow still glows bright enough to read from across the room

poll that i'm intentionally doing here and not @MindmeshLink
do you identify yourself as "disabled" primarily *to other people* in any context
like, not just saying *what disability* you have, ie "depressed", but do you tell other people "i'm disabled" or put "disabled" or "cripple" or any variant of it in your bios online
i am not asking "are you disabled and do you identify at all with the concept of disability" to be clear, this is a social phenomenon wondering, and nondisabled people are included and should say "never"

#DecRecs copperbadge rarely needs introduction, but i’ll attempt to give him one nonetheless—sam does an excellent job blending his own style with more period appropriate language in this, the result of which is a lot of enjoyable wordplay and other turns of phrase without ever distracting from the narrative
inspired by the bit in the cold open where aziraphale and crowley watch a rehearsal of hamlet, though it’d work well enough as a pre-canon interlude for the book instead if you prefer
A Bard In The Hand (12049 words) by copperbadge
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale (Good Omens)/William Shakespeare, Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)/William Shakespeare, Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)Additional Tags: Historical, References to Shakespeare, Threesome - M/M/M, Trans Male Character, Twelfth Night - Freeform, References to Hamlet, Comedy, RPF, Mention of COVID-19, mention of pandemic
Summary:
Aziraphale finds a new dinner spot, Crowley invents marketing, and William Shakespeare gets extremely lucky.
pagination skips do still work on tumblr blogs w/infinite scroll enabled incidentally so congrats, we’re officially doing worse than tumblr on this lol
…..and it doesn’t work for mastodon 4+ because profiles have fucking infinite scroll now
so if you want to go look at my old posts feel free i guess but it wont work for a decent chunk of people following me
figured it out! ?min_id=0 works
i couldn’t get max to accept nonreal ids which is why id assumed this no longer worked but apparently for min its fine lmao
….am i remembering something that stopped being possible in fucking 2.0????
