thelittlebang | "Hi! My name is..."

Here we are, officially in our second week of the initial creation phase. Here's hoping everyone's busy creating, or plotting, or outlining, or whatever else it is that you do in the early stages of creating!

So to start things off, we would love it if everyone could introduce themselves, and pimp out their fandom, talk about their characters, etc. We will be having an "official" pimp your fandom post next week, so don't panic if you don't have any info to pimp your fandom here. This is primarily to a little "meet & greet" so we can all find out what everyone else is doing. And if you get excited by a project, let the person know!

Back in 2009,

havocthecat made a sample form you can use, if you're more comfortable with structure. Or you could do a more freeform comment. Or you could introduce yourself over in

bangalittle or your personal journal, and drop a link in the comments here for us. Whatever makes you the most comfortable!

I'm going to post mine in the comments here, so you can see an example of one way it can be done. Again, the stuff in the text box is just a guideline. Feel free to take it, leave it, alter it. :)

And speaking of

bangalittle, feel free to pop on over and post about your project. Squee, bitch, moan, freak out, plead with the muse(s), whatever. Just remember that when you're posting there, we ask that you follow these three simple rules [that I'll add in an intro post over there, too].

no flames or hate speech of any sort. act like an adult, even if you don't think like one.
don't go about spoiling people for shows/canons whose fandoms are currently operating under spoiler warnings. it's just not nice.
don't post fic/links to fic that are unrelated to your tlb project. there are many other places you can do that.

Name:

oparu
Fandom: Star Trek: the Next Generation/Voyager
Pairing: Beverly Crusher/Kathryn Janeway

Why did you choose this pairing?: I adore them. They're both mature, intelligent, professional women who have lives and great families (in the biological/non-biological sense) around them. I love the Star Trek universe because it's huge, and I have all of it to play with. I can have domesticity in space. I like that.

It's also far enough in the future that I can absolutely ignore any prejudice anyone might have because it's utopia-land, dammit, and no one questions why you'd go from canon relationships with men to women, and I get gay marriage (and babies) without any issues.

Other fandoms: Doctor Who, the X-Files, Battlestar Galactica, the West Wing, Sanctuary, Lost Girl, Legend of the Seeker, Body of Proof, the Good Wife, the Closer, Rizzoli and Isles, Castle, Leverage.

Anything else you want to tell us about your fandom?: It's an odd one. Star Trek is massive and full of a surprising amount of fannish forward motion, even though it's old. I am in that odd (typically femslash place) where I'm the only one truly obsessed with my pairing, but I'm supported, which is great.

Any fun links about your fandom or pairing to share?:

sophia_gratia wrote this awesome, quirky post-Endgame Beverly/Kathryn fic. with flying machines and aviator goggles It's brilliant.

abydos_dork makes much fabulous Star Trek crossover art. like these that go with sophia's story. I know it's an old fandom, and it keeps changing, but there's a lovely (small) group of femslashers with varied tastes, but it's still out there, which is great.
