Fandom Intro Post!

Hi! I'm Capella, and I'm a college student who adores speculative fiction/fantastika. I will post completed fic here as well as on Archive of Our Own; there may have to be a perma-post linking to it at some point.

Consider this particular entry a perma-challenge post: I often struggle with wanting to write, but I don't know what, so if you get in touch with me and have a prompt and rough word count target in one of the following fandoms, or using one of the following pairings or characters, I am likely to accept the challenge.


Fandoms:

-Animorphs
-Battlestar Galactica (1978)
-Myst (all games and books, including Uru)
-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
-Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (both)

Pairings:

-Veovis/Anna (Myst)
-Veovis/Aitrus (Myst)
-Aitrus/Veovis/Anna (Myst)
-Boomer/Athena (BSG 1978)
-Athena/Sheba (BSG 1978)
-!Revan/Carth (SW:KotOR; female)
-f!Exile/Brianna (SW:KotOR)
-m!Exile/Atris (SW: KotOR 2)
-Tobias/Rachel (Animorphs)
-Jadzia Dax/Ben Sisko (ST:DS9)

Comment on this post and I will choose six interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

And... I will also:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a colour, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Associate you with a character/pairing.
5. Give you a "this or that."
6. Tell you a random song I associate with you.
7. Tell you my favorite user pic(s) of yours.

I figured out why I ship femWarrior/Quinn 
despite not being particularly het

it's because for me anyway my female Warrior PCs are idealized!me in the SW universe (where I'm strong and powerful and free to express how I feel and rely on hate and Sith and lightsaber-wielding-y. (and female, and liking it))

but Quinn is what I would actually be in the SW universe if I was Imperial (dedicated to work and a cog in the machine and practical and stable and above all normal, and also male because if I'm imagining I was born in SW I can imagine I was in a better body)

so shipping f!War/Quinn is actually shipping idealized-female-me/realistic-actual-me

this probably says something really weird

(this post brought by sleep deprivation due to tropical storm)

Dreamwidth Friending

Are any of you on Dreamwidth who I have not friended yet? I'm over there as catpella. I'm going to be spending a lot of time making fannish posts over there in the new future- mostly The Old Republic stuff for a bit- so I thought I'd make sure people know I'm there and add people who I haven't added yet.

[fandom] meme!

I need something positive right now, so give me multiple characters, multiple fandoms, ask lots and lots!



Give me a character from a fandom I'm (at least passing) familiar with, and I will tell you three to five bits of personal canon about them.

[real life] money raising

I don't normally post real life publicly, but. My financial aid has hit a sudden unexpected snag, and I may or may not have to drop out of college. If I do, I'll need money to ship my stuff home (and to take myself home). If I don't, I'll need money towards the term bill. So, either way, I'm offering up items I have on sale. 

I will also write fanfic for money, but I am expecting exactly 0 offers for that.

Kindle

Is a Kindle 2, with 3G but it's not the international version. Does not have wi-fi. No visible damage, defects, or flaws. Battery in excellent shape. Has been homed in the official Amazon unlighted case since day 1. Will come with Kindle, case, Amazon wall-wart charger and monoprice cable. $80 is the starting price.


T-Mobile Nokia Phone

This is a T-Mobile-branded GSM phone. I purchased it for use on T-Mobile's old contract-free monthly plans. Comes with phone and charger. Is going new for $60, would sell to you for $30. Simple flip phone with 1.3MP camera on the back. Would be good for prepaid use, for small child's first cell, etc.


iPod Touch 2nd generation

Second gen iPod touch, 8 GB, no serious marks or blemishes. It's been in a case its whole life, but case is not included. Battery is still solid enough for a day's worth of music and light use like reading. Would come with wall wart. Would not come with USB-Dock connector cable or earphones, as used earbuds are weird and anyway I think everyone hates the stock Apple ones who isn't me. Would prefer $75. (Apple lists it for $150 on their refurb page, so really, this is a steal by comparison).


General Information

I think I've priced everything fairly, but let me know if you disagree with any call. I'm willing to negotiate my prices somewhat, because I need to sell ASAP; major crisis is going on at home and I need everything I can get basically by August 1. I'm willing to cover shipping in the US. If international offer, please talk with me about shipping costs via PM. Pictures can be provided of any item on request.

[fandom] random prompt meme

I'm going to be in waiting rooms for long periods of time, so I would love people to answer these so I have something to do.

Meme 1: Prompts

Step 1:
Give me a fandom
Step 1a: make more specific by picking a pairing or character (optional)

Step 2: Give me 5 one-word prompts.

Step 3: I'll write you short ficlets based on them (min 100 words each)


Meme 2: Fandom

Ask me anything about me and fandom. They can be specific to a single fandom or about fandom itself. Examples range from the very broad (what's your favorite fandom, why?) to the more specific (what's your pet peeve about the Star Wars EU) to the specific about me and fandom (what is your least favorite thing about your favorite fandom). Go wild, ask anything!


Meme 3: Remix

Pick one of my fandoms and make me change it. For example, you might ask me to tell you what I would change about it. Or you might give me a change and tell me to explain how things would be different if that was to be canon.

[fandom] tumblr, how do you work it?

 I tried to make a tumblr to showcase Myst fan creativity (fanart, cosplay, created items, maybe even fanfic?) and put up three test posts to figure it out. Except I don't actually know what I'm doing. So uhm, here it is! Any tips on what to do besides "link to pictures here" and "link the tumblr elsewhere for people to look at"? Are there other Myst tumblrs out there?

Fandom Memes

I feel bored and wish to do some memes that involve fandom. Short fic on demand memes, favorite character memes, fandom love memes...if you have an interesting thing to fill out that involves fandom, show it to me so I can fill some!

Fic Betaing

So as I'm trying to be more involved in fandom, it would be great if I had beta readers! I'ma set up a filter for people who would like to beta works for me so that I don't spam everyone with the unfinished; the finished will be available to everyone.

Right now I'm currently writing fic in:

-Myst
-Battlestar Galactica (BSG; 78 ver)
-Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR)
-Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9)

Just reply with your name and which fandom or fandoms you'd be cool with beta-ing and I'll let you in! I have at least one Myst piece coming up soon (as in within days).
