Introduction

[pettycoat]

So. 2018. I never thought I'd be feeling nostalgic for livejournal, but seeing as the site is currently populated by Russian bots and nearly every person I've ever pestered there has moved on to some place slightly less depressing, I thought I'd try dreamwidth. I'm probably just screaming into the void. But there are certain itches tumblr just can't scratch.

I've been fairly active in fandom for the last twenty or so years. If I've subscribed to you, you've probably encountered me under another name. I don't intend to share those names. But rest assured, you more than likely found me obnoxious. I've been getting back into fanfic after a years-long hiatus and am always looking for constructive criticism. I will try to keep this as a strictly fandom-based journal. I'm most active in the Nier, Drakengard, and Dark Souls fandoms, and Kingdom Hearts has somehow stuck to me for all these years despite spiraling down into something utterly batshit. I also adore Furi and think it's a criminally underrated game with a tragically small fanbase. There are dozens of us!

Expect a lot of video game blabber and general fannish nonsense. I'm hoping to keep this place more active than my LJ ever was. Time will tell!

I'm very curious to know what name I might have known you under, but I can understand the need to be private about it! In any case, it's good to meet you (again?). I'm always happy to see videogame blabber on my reading page.

Sorry, I commented on one of your Until Dawn fics a few weeks back and wanted to follow your journal because I like your work. As far as I know, we never interacted on LJ. If you're not comfortable giving me access because of that, I understand completely.

[rionaleonhart]

Oh, yes! The time loop fic, right? That was a lovely comment; thank you! It's good to meet you on here, in that case. And I'm absolutely fine with giving you access; I hardly ever lock anything anyway.

[pettycoat]

Yes, that was the fic! And that's great! I'll go ahead and set up mutual access. I don't plan to lock many posts, but you never know.

Hi! I just stopped using livejournal as well (though I never liked it much anyway). This is a new journal of mine but I've been here since 2012 and I like it! I'm not sure if we know each other, but I see we have some things in common and I'm cool with video game talk so I'll give you access. :)

[pettycoat]

Hello, and thank you! I'll be happy to give you access as well. I look forward to reading your journal!

I don't think we know each other (and if we do, I guess I had no idea you liked KH this much) but we share a lot of fandoms, so... pleased to meet you! :D

My flocked posts are boring life rambling so you're not missing much, but if we do know each other from the LJ days I don't mind giving you access.

[pettycoat]

Hi, there! I believe we interacted a few times in livejournal comms, but we never friended or messaged each other. I don't mind giving you access, but I understand if you wouldn't be comfortable giving the same to me. Either way, I look forward to following your journal! :)

Hi! I have to admit trying to figure out if we knew each other on LJ, but definitely understand not wanting to get into it.

I've just started getting back into fandom (FFXV entirely, I'm afraid, it's kind of consumed me). I super love getting comments on anything and everything, but am in it entirely for fun, so I'd prefer no constructive criticism if you can help it! (I am totally fine with giving it though, when requested. I used to want to be an editor back in the day and haven't completely outgrown it. XD)

Hello! We were casual acquaintances on LJ, if you could even call it that, but trust me when I say that I had nothing of value to contribute back then. I completely understand not wanting criticism. I still have yet to beat FFXV, but I'm loving everything I've seen so far, and that is definitely saying something considering I have mixed feelings about the Final Fantasy series as a whole. Look forward to following you!
