Day 12 : In your own space, post a rec for fannish spaces and resources - comms, challenges, twitters, tumblrs, etc. Tell us about where you hang out. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Most of mine will be on livejournal so let me start with the ones that aren't (and most of them I've already given props to in other Snowflake posts)

fandom_stocking here on DW is always fun (though holiday oriented, so it's one time a year). And there's all_bingo which is fun...and I forgot to go check in with I think last round...

And Queer Sci Fi which I'm active in under my author pseudonym.

In fact, in a way this post makes me sad since nearly ALL my favorite fan comms are dead as a doornail except those that only run once a year. fma_fic_contest just closed up after a nice long run.

So the other places I hang out at are 12_daysofficmas, celebrate_fma (which is new to me), picfor1000 and spook_me.

Locally I like to hang out with airship athena, my steampunk group. I know that doesn't help most of you but hey maybe some of you are in the Athens OH area and like steampunk.

I never really made the transition to Tumblr as I didn't like the format much and most of my fandoms are old. I could use some new ones I guess. It's a shame because I could use a refuge now that my twitter and FB feeds are one long continuous political feed.


Today I got my flu shot then got an email saying Scrappy, my brother's cat was put to sleep. I was expecting it but man it went fast. Two weeks ago another of the cats played a bit rough with her (she was 15) and she went into congestive heart failure. She had surgery and rallied but within days stopped eating and vomited what little she did eat. They stopped her antibiotics/steroids hoping that was the cause but it was not. Scrappy had long blue gray hair, soft as a cloud and tons of personality. We'll all miss her.
