(Mostly) Friends Only

[author_by_night]

Updated 1/1/2025

Friending Policy: Friend away, but let me know you're doing so because I might miss it otherwise. My posts are mostly protected, so if it looks like I never update, that's why. I update pretty regularly, in fact.

While this isn't strictly a fannish/media blog, I do talk about fannish/media things a lot. This might be a dealbreaker for some people, which I understand.
  

Fannish interests: Schitt's Creek is really the only fandom I write fic for these days, but I'm also into Our Flag Means Death and 911 meta and such. Other fannish interests include Buffyverse, Firefly, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Parks and Recreation, and Heartstopper.

 Ao3 and Policy: Find me here. 

 If you want to write something based on something I've written, double check with me first, but for the most part I'd be flattered! I'd also love for someone to do a podfic based on my work. 

If you recognize me from older fandoms, I apologize for any teenage/college kid stupidity you might have witnessed

Other things I talk about: Why people do the things they do, fandom thoughts, general media and entertainment thoughts,  random observations. I'll often find questions on the internet (Quora and AskReddit, mostly) and answer them. Sometimes I also tackle reddit advice subs.

I don't talk about my personal life very often, but I get into it here and there.  I occasionally discuss paranormal things and spiritual musings (not specific to any religion or belief system;  furthermore, when I say I'm open to all beliefs, I really do mean that, as long as they don't infringe on anyone else's rights).

Hi! *waves* I got an email from katieay saying that we're practically neighbors!

Mind if I add you as a friend? This is pretty cool, everyone I know IRL is mostly on facebook (old classmates, my son's friends parents, etc), not LJ, which has been my fandom haven.

Basically, I live with my husband and kids "in town" (you can see the firehouse, parking garage and library all from various points in my house) and my husband and I graduated from JC in 1990 and moved back here to be closer to our parents after going to college at Widener and spending several years in Philly. We've been back for almost 10 years though.

Hey neighbor!

Hey! Do you have IM of any kind? *Goes to add to any IMs anyway, before waiting for answer*

Just had to comment and say... I LOVE FIREFLY! I'm currently beginning to watch Buffy, are you a fan of that show? I just ask since you mentioned you are a Dr. Horrible fan as well.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

I'm from Mezz's page and don't want to randomly add you, but I /do/ want to friend you... so here's a brown coat and hoping this isn't too odd :P

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

It's not odd at all! :) I'll add you right back.

[vifetoile.livejournal.com]

Count me!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

I'm confused... you're already friended...

[nival-vixen.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I originally saw one of your posts in the bsc_snark comm, and when I saw your Firefly icon, I was intrigued.

I've read your profile, public posts, and as I have the naive ability to trust anyone who likes both Harry Potter, Firefly, Castle and Glee, well... I'd like to be your friend please! :)

I write Draco/Ginny fanfiction mostly, but also write Firefly and other fandoms when inspiration strikes.

Okay, I'm stopping before I ramble.

Look forward to hearing back from you!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Sure! It's nice to meet new people. :)

[nival-vixen.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thanks :D

[tresjolie9.livejournal.com]

Lurk on bsc_snark your post rocked, adding you as a friend!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Adding back. :) (Heh, now you can scroll down to see me rant about one of the things that inspired the post...)

Also, icon love.

Hello, I'm not a troll except maybe in Michigan. People in the Upper Peninsula call us "Trolls" because we live under the Bridge. We call them Yoopers, like the group Da Yoopers.

[jade-bennett.livejournal.com]

Hey there, not a troll. Just hoping to make a new friend! : D

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

I added you back!

[jade-bennett.livejournal.com]

: D thank you!!

[lila-werewolf.livejournal.com]

Hello. I saw your post in the dyscalculia community, and am interesting in friending you... maybe we could give it a shot? Thank you. If not, that's cool, too. Have a good day. ~ lila_werewolf

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Sure! :) I added you. Have a good day too!
