LJ; all the bingoes; of course i started something new; Aussieaussieaussieoioioi!

[kellifer]

-> Wow, LJ is MUCH QUIETER these days. I only had to click earlier once and I was on where I was up to YESTERDAY. I'm enjoying being on tumblr but it's definitely not the same. *shuffles feet*

-> I have absolutely no willpower. I signed up for a longfic_bingo card. It's multifandom though and I'm pretty sure I have enough stuff jammed in the WIP folder to fill this and my trope_bingo card easily. I'll have to post them here so I can start updating IF I EVER FINISH ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. Argh.

-> Speaking of scatter-shot writing, I just wrote 2,200 words yesterday of Stiles trying to stealthily obedience train the werewolves. I'm might try and squish it into my trope_bingo card and get it done and posted in the next day or so.

-> Australia Day this weekend which means a long weekend. I usually don't really do anything special for Australia Day other than laze around at home or maybe drag myself to a BBQ but this year I'm going to be on a ferry in the harbour which should be very cool! We figured we needed to do something special since flatmates will most likely have moved back to the US this time next year.

Long fic? You mean, like Wolfies? *blinks innocently*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Wolfies is going to be my Big Bang I think - if you're happy to keep cheer leading! :D I want to get that damn story done.

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm just teasing you, bb. *pulls pigtail*

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

♥!

Time to dust off that story again! :D

[shinysylver.livejournal.com]

I can never resist the bingos either. They are so seductive.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

IKNOWRIGHT??

Argh. I figure I don't have to do the whole card and it might make me get some stuff done.

Sounds interesting!

Please say that he uses a spray bottle, please say that he uses a spray bottle!
I have liked all your werewolf fic you have done so I shall wait impatiently for this <3

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hee... he might resort to a spray bottle eventually - although Derek will be unimpressed with a capital UN.

I just slipped from my armchair because I laughed so hard at that mental picture.

:D

Ferry on the harbour? Dude. jealous. Take the sunscreen. Just don't succumb to the boganism of temporary flag tatts or I will disown you.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hahahaa... ! No way!

Ugh, I'll be wearing my invisible zinc - I am the palest!

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

Hahaha in its heyday I had problems finishing my f-list! Those were the days...

Woo, how do you guys usually celebrate Australia day? :D

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

I know right? I've got a filtered reading list because it was getting out of control and now I don't think I really need to use it anymore. :(

It's a public holiday and people will usually have bbqs/parties. We decided to do something spesh this year because it's the last AUS day here for the flatmates possibly.

Hooray Australia Day!

I have been trying to find my entry point into Tumblr, but when I search for discussion on episodes (what I'm in fandom for) all I find are animated GIFs, even when I click on tags. Am I not getting search right, or do people on Tumblr just stick with photos?

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

It's honestly more image based than anything else. There's no real discussion - sometimes there'll be a meta post but they're pretty rare. I've basically linked to a couple of rec blogs and then a bunch of people I know from LJ and I'm still wading through the same 5 gif sets each day most of the time. Heh. I tried searching through tags and it was pretty much impossible because people will tag all sorts of ways too. You can track one particular tag but you'll still end up with about 80% repetition and gifs. I have found the particular tumblrs for a couple of shows and while it's still image based, there is also news and set photos which is good.

Maybe link to a couple of people you know and are comfortable from LJ and ask for a couple of blog recs for particular fandoms to start off.

I think there's more fandom discussion on Twitter although that's the last social network thingie that I'm resisting. :)

[adannu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sticking my toe back in the LJ pool and had much the same reaction. :/ Tumblr is indeed fun with all the eye candy, but I do miss the discussions.

That said, omg obedience training. I fully admit I giggled maniacally at the mental image.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

:)

I get why it's happened - there's only so many blackouts and issues and changes people can deal with before they start abandoning a site but it still makes me sadface. I get why tumblr became so popular so quickly but it's definitely not the same. I have no idea who anyone is, I can't remember who I'm following and the constant drive to have more 'notes' on your posts just is really odd to me...

I might just have to bite the bullet and get a twitter... *shudders*

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

I know right? LJ is so quiet, but then I get into the trap of "I'll come back to it later!" and end up having to go back days to find posts again.

bingo cards = crack. No other way to put it. I have... 6? 7? and NEVER DID A BINGO. I still hoard them, they are so shiny. I am also VERY excited to see you've taken that one, because it means more long fic from you *score*

can't wait for that stealthy obedience training one, lol!

hope you have a great time on Australia Day! think of me, at -40C, and enjoy it!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Hahaaa.. I only have 2 so I don't feel so crazy! :D

Actually, I have an Avengers one that I think I've forgotten about, oops!

It's more than likely going to be +40C for me - we'll be at opposite ends of the scale! ♥!
