sticky post, but not friends only

[meganbmoore]

 

This journal? It's only "friends only" once in a blue moon. Pretty much if I just talk about personal stuff. I'm not overly picky about who reads most of my stuff...if you don't like my opinions, you don't have to read my LJ, and I see little reason to keep myself from making new friends on the off chance someone will leave a nasty comment because they don't like my opinion. I do, however, like knowing when I get friended, or when someone wanders in from a mutual friend or community. I'm always up for another person to squee over something with, or to have a debate with, as long as it's a respectful debate that keeps a person and their opinions separate. (In other words, if I loathe a character you adore, or I adore a character you think is wretched scum and should die, that's cool, just keep in mind that liking or disliking that character is one of several thousand qualities and opinions each of us has.)

My interests range from classic movies to urban fantasy, to mysteries, to us comics, to fantasy, to anime and manga, to 18th-19th century british romances, to asian live action dramas and more...essentially, if it interests me, I'll probably check it out, and I'll probably post on it.

The posts themselves range from two or three line comments to pages of squeeing and meta or massive(or smaller) posts of picspams and youtube vids.

Mosts of my posts are about whatever I'm into at the moment-of late, primarily-but not exclusively-anime, manga, YA and adult fantasy, fiction in different genres set circa 1800-1940s, and live action asian dramas.

As a fair warning, while it is typically plot, humor or action that will draw me to something, if there's a canon pairing I like, then 9 times out of 10, that's what I'll end up talking about the most. On the flipside, if it's all about the angst, romantic or otherwise, with the plot as an excuse, then it'll probably put me to sleep.

Just outta idle curiosity. I see you friended me on the F_S friending meme. What was it that piqued your interest?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi! I did that maybe 15 minutes ago, so hadn't commented yet.

Mostly Gen X, Deadpool and Gargoyles(though I see you also have Darkness in your interests.)

[anarchicq.livejournal.com]

Yay Gen X fans! (Penance/Chamber OTP)
I miss Gargoyles but I haven't bothered with the new comics.

As for the Darkness, the first series was great, but the second and this new third one...I'm not impressed.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm sure that, when the series was first running, I shipped something in GenX, possibly several something, but all I can think now is "platonic OT7."

Ditto on Darkness. The second series had some high points, but too much of it was serious angst(and not the fun angst of the first series.) I haven't read any of the current series yet except the preview issue and what's shown up on scans_daily. The drug thing is a serious turnoff, and Jackie having sex with the creation kinda ruins the whole point, though I do get twisted!evil!angst!lostlove!joy out of his trying to make the creation be just like Jenny.

I couldn't get into Darkness vol2 past issue ...9 or so. The scans_daily scans made me go WTF?

Even today the main GenX ships seem to be Jubilee/M, Paige/Jono, Paige/Jono/Angelo or Jono/Angelo.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

There seems to be a good bit of resurrected Jubes/Jono going around, and some Ange/Jubes/Jono, though I'm sure that's at least in part because of New Warriors.

That they don't know about Penny being in LA (or whereever she is now...I haven't read the last issues of Loners yet) DEPRESSES ME. Come on, Marvel...will I ever get my GenX reunion story?

[anarchicq.livejournal.com]

You do not want to know what they did with Penance! *Headdesk headdesk headdesk*

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

THEY HAD HER TOUCHING PEOPLE AND KISSING AND TALKING!!! That alone was bad enough...

[anarchicq.livejournal.com]

Oh. So you do know.
*Sigh*

Hi, commenting to let you know I've friended you back. Yay, another CLAMP fan! :)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi!

Newly minted Clamp fan! Currently slowly working my way through their mass of titles.

[ryanitenebrae.livejournal.com]

Greetings!
I have friended you - I did so because we have many things in common, and a mutual friend. Also, I think you're a very interesting person, and that your journal is fun to read. Nice to meet you!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll probably friend you back sometime today.

[mierin-sama.livejournal.com]

Hello there! Did you friended me from the TRC friending meme? Guess you'll have another Clamp fan on your friends' list :P

By the way, that has got to be the most extensive tags list I had ever seen for an individual LJ. I like to read as well, although I think I haven't read as much as you do.

And nice to meet you! Thanks for adding me!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi! Yes. About 15 minutes ago, so I hadn't commented yet.

I'm an obsessive tagger and an obsessive reader. (Thogh the tagging system is currently stalled out mid-remodelling...getting all the authors under "a: name" and all the anime and manga stuff and "anime:" "manga:" and "manga/anime:"

[mierin-sama.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a lot easier to find posts if you tag them that way. My profile is undergoing construction as well, so there's nothing to see right now ^^

Hope I don't bore you with my posts XD

[ms-treesap.livejournal.com]

Hello :D I've just been reading loads of your book/anime/manga reviews, and friended you to keep up with them or anything else you have to say. (No need to friend back- I'm not very interesting).

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi! That's fine.

Though I'll probably just friend you back anyway, if we have a few things in common.

[crystal-hoser.livejournal.com]

Hey, we talked a bit on the obscure fandoms meme and you have a lot of neat review on your journal so I friended you. Hope you don't mind!

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi! That's fine.

[badtzphoto.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm friending you to read more about High School Debut and Wild Ones and other reviews and squeeing, I hope you don't mind. No need to friend me back :)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi!

That's fine. (Though I likely will friend you back anyway...)

[chaos-harmony.livejournal.com]

My interests range from classic movies to urban fantasy, to mysteries, to us comics, to fantasy, to anime and manga, to 18th-19th century british romances, to asian live action dramas and more.

Well, whaddaya know, I like all of these things too. I hope you don't mind my friending you (at the risk of sounding like a total Internet!stalker, I found you via annwyd's journal, and your icon caught my eye - is that from the cover of Ombria in Shadow? I loved that book.)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hi!

And yup, it is. I discovered McKillip earlier this year and have been working my way through her backlog, though mostly her stuff from the last 10 years or so. Ombria in Shadow is one of my three favorites so far, if not my favorite. The other 2 are In the Forests of Serre and Od Magic.

[radarsparks.livejournal.com]

pretty sure i saw you around the redux of the small fandoms meme and the one(well, technically two) that came before it so i'm gonna go ahead and assume that's where you found me, too. |D you seem pretty neat, so i'm gonna add you back. 8D
