omphale23 - Profile (original) (raw)
on 15 September 2005 (#8294961)
Obligatory Warning: I won't friend anyone I know to be a minor, no matter how much I like you or your writing. Sorry, I can't; no exceptions.
Past and Present Fandoms (an incomplete list):
American Idiot (for all of the obvious reasons, and some others besides.)
Avengers (okay, so I mostly love Tony Stark. And Black Widow. And Nick Fury. And the Quinjet.)
Band of Brothers (canon designed especially to make me flail my arms and say ridiculous things. Constantly. To complete strangers, even.)
Bandom (pretty boys, eyeliner, music I love. It was inevitable.)
Burn Notice (flawed hero, random violence, strong female lead. I have a Type.)
C6D (everything Canada. Almost. Well, no. But the explanation is long and takes almost exactly two hours to tell.)
Combat Hospital (Bobby Trang, and his epic man!pain.)
The Crow (my first copy of the comic has kool-aid spilled on it. What does that tell you?)
Defying Gravity (I'm actually embarrassed to type that.)
due South ('homosexual subtext')
Eyebrows/Pants (the best crossover-fandom-based-time-traveling-tragicomic-AU ever.)
Generation Kill (repeat after me: I am not attached to this fandom.)
La Femme Nikita (angst, het, sunglasses. Also, explosions.)
Life
Merlin (they'll be coming to take my BA away any time now.)
The Middleman (love it enough to mail perfectly good chocolate to the network. WTF, show?)
Numb3rs (math, science, dead bodies. Public health and pretty boys.)
The Pacific (come inside, let me talk to you about Bob Leckie and the War of 1812.)
RENT (no, your criticism isn't appreciated. You heard me. Shut up.)
Ron Livingston (I am declaring him a fandom. So there.)
Rubicon (code and complexity and counterespionage.)
SeaQuest DSV (the one with the Mary Sue)
Shame (I will be a fandom of one if necessary.)
Shelter (best gay surfer movie? Or best gay surfer movie EVER?)
Sherlock Holmes (ALL the Sherlock Holmes. Holmeses. Whatever.)
Slings & Arrows (the ideal typical narrative made real. Neener neener, Max Weber.)
SouthLAnd (and here I always said I didn't like cop shows.)
Sandman (it's nice not being the only geek in the house.)
Standoff (he shoots his CAR. Also, Epic Eyebrows/Pants is EPIC.)
Torchwood (Jack/Jack is canon, and everyone is experimental.)
The West Wing (political banter = love.)
Looking for a fic index? You'll find it on the Archive of Our Own, HERE. I'm perpetually working on an index post, but never quite get to the end. You can also try the my fic tag for the most recent updates.
DISCLAIMER: All copyrighted characters belong to their owners, and not to me. More's the pity, that. In addition, all characters based on real life are just that, characters, and if you think they're anything to do with the real people you're very, very confused. I draw the lines between fiction and history very clearly around here. And then I put fences between the two. And minefields.
Modly Duties:
Together with 
caersmane and sansets, I run 
cranky_zen. Dedicated to the love of all things Eyebrows/Pants, and the fixing of a fictional WWII pairing through the judicious application of COMPLETE AND UTTER CRACK. Matt/Charlie is canonical there, and if you have to ask, you might not want to know.
Along with emiliglia, I'm in charge of bob_rewatch. We're on hiatus but not the permanent kind.
Other stuff that may be useful to know:
Friending policy: Friend away. This policy is currently under review, but when I make a decision, I'll post it.
I almost never friend people first, but when I friend you, I'm reading your journal; I don't read on a filter. And I'll try to comment, but I suffer from intermittent internet access and a permanent state of overscheduled panic.
I assume that people who defriend me don't want me reading their entries, and as soon as I notice, I'll reciprocate.
Filters: Fannish discussions and fic are public. However: I filter or f-lock a) posts about my personal life, b) certain efforts to celebrate my favorite media, c) rps and most meta related to it, and d) sneaky plans.
Other than that, what you see is what you get. I try to always cut for spoilers, but if you attempt to guilt me into it or tell me I'm required to do so, I'm likely to stop out of sheer spite. Same goes for giant blocks of text; usually I cut for long discussions, but sometimes I don't.
Bottom line? My journal, my rules.
You can find me loitering about on twitter in the following places: (a) my personal twitter (locked) and sometimes (b) the group twitter for cranky_zen.
I'm now posting as omphale on Dreamwidth. The comments are only really monitored on DW.
I may also be on tumblr and instagram somewhere. IDK, I'm not even here most of the time.
