General Stuff

I'm following enough active people that my Reading page is now active enough to have more than 20 entires and I'm missing posts. Hurrah? I think. LOL.

Still trying to figure out the Fediverse, so that's been keeping me busy. That and yarn. I have done so much knitting and crochet to try and manage the absolute stress of the world's insanity right now. *eye twitch*

Also obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog at the moment. Sorry previous fandoms, I've moved on again. LOL. Already writing fanfic for it. I'm doomed. XD

What else? What else. Um. Yeah, that's all I've got. I'm hunkering down with Yarn and Edgy Hedgehogs.

Hope you guys are hanging in there.

Hurray for growing your Reading Page! When I got started, I did feel pretty accomplished when I got a steady stream of activity up on mine... but I ended up following too many writing comms so I had to pare them down, eventually ^^;;

How's Mastodon treating you so far? I've been half considering joining it, but I can't tell how much fandom presence there is on it compared to, idk, Tumblr? (I haven't really used Tumblr for anything other than hosting images to post here, so I'm not sure if that's still the touchstone for peak fandom activity lol). Also, it feels like everyone's getting into knitting and crochet these days... it definitely sounds like something to keep peoples' hands occupied while all of the... everything... is happening in the world right now.

New fandom! Fic writing!! That's always exciting :0 I came out of Sonic 3 absolutely obsessed with how cool Shadow was in it, lolmao, so I've been drawing fanart since I saw the movie ^^; I have to finish a fic assignment for another fandom tho lol, but once I'm done with that, I will probably be rejoining you in Sonic hell hahaha xD Although I may not branch out much further than the movie-verse and a bit of the games... the Sonic world is so big that it scares me a little, haha.

I have mixed thoughts on Mastodon and the Fediverse. Lol. I think it has a lot of great features, but it is hard to wrap your head around the fact it's more like a separate internet inside the internet (all the different apps types talk to each other; Mastodon is a software and each server that hosts it is run by different people, etc).

There's a lot of cool chill people there and a lot of super elitist "if you aren't on the free federated web you're an idiot" peeps. Lol. Thankfully block works. XD

Fandom wise, I've found a bigger knitting community. But that may also be bc I'm on a general server. An anime focused server probably has more (federation reach is variable based on a lot of things o-o).

Fedi.tips is a life saver. XD

Good luck with your fic efforts! :D

That's an interesting setup that Mastodon has going on... as long as the platform has a good blocking system (unlike Tumblr >_>) and fun fandom/hobby discussions to browse, then I might give it a try! The chill vibe is definitely a plus in that regard, haha.

And thanks!! The deadline's coming up and I really need to buckle down on it so I definitely need all the luck I can get... haha ...

...you know you can click "Previous 20" and see the posts before the most-recent 20, right? There's no need to miss things!

[greyliliy]

Yes, I know I can click previous. Lol. I just mean I skim while I'm scrolling multiple pages so I tend to miss things. XD

[erinptah]

Oh, good! (Seemed like it should be obvious, but you never know...one time somebody asked me to personally message them about AO3 updates, because they had fully missed that "Subscribe" buttons existed.)

[greyliliy]

I 100% believe that.
