Recs and General Fandom Love
May. 25th, 2009 08:52 pmI never followed American Idol - not even the first season, and I couldn't name any Idol winners other than Kelly Clarkson. My only exposure to Idol was the occasional post on my friendslist. But I was bored, and the Idol finale performance show was on, and I thought - why not, I'll watch it. And easy as that, I was invested in these people - I fell in love with Adam and Kris, I wikipedia'd and googled, watched their performances on americanidol.com, and read everything that
astolat was writing, and couldn't wait for the results show. Because I'm easy like that, because you tug on my heartstrings with a touching story and I'm hooked. And now I can't stop reading Kradam fanfic - I love the excitement of new fandoms, sharing in other people's squee. And I love finding story gems - just all around beautiful writing, characterization, emotion:
( AI Fic Recs )
And there are so many other stories I want to rec and haven't time to re-read and write about. Between American Idol and the new Star Trek (Reboot? XI? AOS? Has fandom come to a consensus yet?) movie, I am just loving all the great new fic.
Oh, and before I forget, I do have two Dreamwidth codes, if anybody would like them - just comment.

First Post!
May. 1st, 2009 08:27 pmDespite the fact that I was not expecting to obtain a Dreamwidth account any time soon, here I am!
I had a completely wretched day at work yesterday, working at the office until 9:30 in the evening and then going home to work some more. I went straight to sleep once I finished, being entirely too tired to turn on my personal computer, so it was a very pleasant surprise when I checked my email this morning before work and found a Dreamwidth code in my inbox!
Like my Livejournal account, I won't be making many posts. I have always been a fandom lurker, and I am planning on using this journal mostly as a means to consolidate my fannish reading. I may on occasion post fanart and graphics, and perhaps I might start posting fanfic recs here as well, but please don't feel the need to suscribe!
