So, um, hello.

I've been debating whether to try participating in fandom on Dreamwidth for about two months now. Yes, since November 2022; yes, it's not accidental. But I'll talk about my discontent with Twitter in a later post.

Right now, I want to start things here by introducing myself, so that I can start participating. I've been looking at random communities from time to time in the last few months, and I've always been amazed at how active and engaged the community as a whole is here. I didn't think it was possible, not after all this time on social media. Mind, I've been on LiveJournal, once, albeit briefly; I've run my fan fiction archive; I posted my stuff on FFnet when AO3 wasn't around yet. I've seen things. Then I went away. When I came back in 2020 (again: it's not accidental), I accepted that fandom had changed, and that for my current fandom, the reason I came back, it was either Twitter or Reddit.

And you know...

Oh, well.

So, here I am, aquietjune. I usually create stuff for just one fandom at a time. Since my current fandom -- Attack on Titan -- looks mostly asleep here, I postponed this moment for a long time, but then, discovering the snowflake_challenge (yeah, no idea of what it was two days ago), I decided that if there was a moment to give it a go, this is it. Besides, there are so many stories that I love, and so many things that I like to do... I don't think I won't find correspondence here. What do you think?

Answering the questions of Challenge#1, in a conversational manner, to cover some bases.

Transformative Works Policy: See, now I feel like an illiterate -- coming from my fandom on Twitter, I didn't even know this was a thing. I care about these topics, but I want to learn more about the culture here before I copy-paste something that may not represent me. In general, however, for me contributing to the fandom means sharing my ideas and my world-building, and if someone finds them so enticing that they would like to use it I'm overwhelmed with joy.
Current Passion: Since July I've been working on a longfic about Annie Leonhart. I first write, then publish, and despite many shortcomings due to other commitments, I'm at around 85k words now. I'm so looking forward to writing certain scenes, and discovering what happens in the interstices of the narrative. This project has me very excited.

Other than that, in the past weeks I've read all the currently available chapters of Oshi no ko by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, and my, I can't wait till April when the anime comes out. It has a lot of what I like, a lot of focus on the inner workings and dark side of show business and a lot of fun, engaging drama.

I knew of Aka Akasaka already, but I never read nor watched his Kaguya-Sama: Love is War before. Well, now I'm doing that. It has great comedy and I'm enjoying it very much.

I'm currently preparing the costume for a LARP I'm playing next month. It's rushed, it's complicated, and I haven't figured out the totality of it yet, but the process is fun, and that is what matters.

Where to Find Me: At the moment, I'll say that you can find all my fics on aquietjune and that's it.
Master List: This is another thing I'm not really prepared for. I have a chronological master list of my fics on Tumblr, but since they're all Attack on Titan and they're all in the same timeline (for now), you can also head directly to my AO3 I think -> aquietjune
Anything Else: I embroider, I sew toys and ragdolls, I'm passionate about books -- classic and postmodernist literature, gothic and liminal horror -- and many other forms of stories, especially of the ARG/Unfiction kind. I have a bizarre taste for things and interests that are worlds apart. I like trivia and learning how things work.
