qaf_challenges was started. It's still going strong bringing us great challenges such as the Icon Challenge and the Challenge in Two Parts, just to name a couple. I can hardly wait for this month's Clusterfuck Challenge. *happy squee*qaf_icons had the brilliantly inspired theme "Bare Chests." Don't we all need more bare chested icons? *grin*qafmaniac for the icons and banner!maxymama asked in her journal how to set up a header, and outlander hinted that it would make a good post for this community. I just wanted to say hello in this community and to IJ in general. I'm an old fandom fan I guess you could say. I joined in June of '03 and I haven't really stopped since then. I remember hearing all about Qaf when it first came out but I was watching so much TV at the time I couldn't keep up. Not to mention, I was in high school so I had a lot of homework and that's where my concentration was going.
So, when I graduated from high school in the summer of '03, the first thing I did was marathon Qaf and I was immediately hooked. Like I said, I've never really let go. As far as my online life is concerned, it revolves around 2003-2005. Sure, I'm interested in other television shows now, catching up on old ones that I've never seen, and involved in other side projects. But nothing is going to mean more to me than the Queer as Folk community.
I remember during what I like to call "The Great Schism" when people separated from LJ to IJ, I stayed with LJ because that's where my fandom friends were. I've known them since '03 and though they had moved on and I hadn't, I still liked being part of their lives in that type of a forum. I hadn't participated in fandom in a major way then. I had written and done some icons but I hadn't fought with anyone or had disagreements with anyone. I just wanted to stay somewhere I felt comfortable and that is and always will be LJ for me.
That said, I'm probably more involved now in fandom more than I have ever been which is strange since the show ended four years ago this August. I write, I icon, I travel, I go to events, etc. and it'd be nice to know people who are still interested in those things. That's why I'm over here now and writing this already ridiculously long introduction (apologies).
Examples of things? Okay.
• My LJ journal is here.
• I have Gale icons here and Randy icons here.
• Writing a story and the first chapter is here with the second chapter here.
• I'm knee-deep in nostalgia and have posted nostalgia about fic here and here.
• And this is how I'm feeling right now. :)
So, feel free to add me and I'm looking for people to add too. No harm in double journaling it as I like to say! Thanks for allowing the rambling.
