*taps mic* Is this thing on?

[seraphina_snape]

Name: sera (not my real name, but that's what the internet at large calls me)
Age: 33
Location: Germany
Other: If you find a seraphina_snape somewhere, there's a 99% chance that's me. I'm really only 'active' here and on LJ (that is, I crosspost), and on tumblr (where I mostly reblog all the fandom stuff I currently care about and almost never post original content)

Describe yourself in five sentences or less: I am a master procrastinator - I can put off anything (I'd probably put off dying if I was in the middle of a book) - plus I'm lazy (that's a dangerous combination). My mother is my roommate (long story). I occasionally make icons and other graphics and sometimes I write fic (sometimes more, sometimes less). I love land comms and I really wish more of them were still active (because see first item in the list, I'm a lazy procrastinator, so having challenges and deadlines gives me a focus for my creative impulses that otherwise fizzle out into the 'maybe I'll make some icons tomorrow' abyss).

Top 5 fandoms: (I love ALL THE FANDOMS, or at least a lot of them, and while I don't produce much fannish content these days, I consume a lot, so limiting me to five is ridiculous, but I'll try. Still, here's a complete list.)
- Leverage (I will love it FOREVER AND EVER ♥)
- The Librarians (one of the few shows I'm actually excited about and want to see back on my screen ASAP)
- OMG Check Please! (I ship all the things, but mostly on tumblr.)
- Teen Wolf (sort of - I kind of stopped watching, but I'm still enjoying the fanfic? ...that tends to happen with most of my fandoms, tbh.)
- Doctor Who (I'm super excited about DW starting up again, but I'm mostly a lurker. I might write a handful of episode reaction posts, but nothing too involved)

I mostly post about what books I'm reading (lots of steampunk right now, and usually along the lines of mystery/crime/supernatural/fantasy/YA/LGBTQ+), what my family has been up to, pictures of the cutest 'lil dog I'm occasionally dogsitting for my brother and his gf, my adventures in cooking.

I rarely post about fandom, sadly, because I'm behind on everything and in a funk about what's currently on the air (except The Librarians, but it's not airing right now :/) (but I'm trying to change that), politics & religion, current events

My last three posts were about
- my coworkers and I goofing off at work and trying to copy money (to see if it's true that you can't copy money) (it is.)
- family update, food and dog pictures, minuscule amount of TV talk, books, LJ fuckery
- family update, plant update (I'm trying to grow peppers... I usually kill everything, but so far it's a success), dog pics + books

How often do you post? Depends. Sometimes I update more, sometimes less. My life is pretty boring so I usually go at least a week between posts, sometimes more.

How about commenting? I think I'm pretty good at commenting. If you post four times a day I probably won't comment on everything, but if I have something to say, I'll say it. (And I always reply to comments I receive.)

A GIF to describe how your day has been so far:

OK, so I've decided today to try and revive the slightly moribund doctorwho comm, since it's new episode day and all. I notice that you have Doctor Who in your fandoms list. Care to join me?

[seraphina_snape]

You know what? I think I will. *g*

[miss_s_b]

YAY!

[serpentine]

Leverage is an awesome show and The Librarians is on my to watch list.

(Actually, thanks for reminding me to watch it XD)

Would you like to be friends?

[seraphina_snape]

Leverage is amazing! And The Librarians is lots of fun.

Sure, let's be friends!

[springviolets]

leverage! PARKER! also i see from you full fandom list that you ship chad/ryan which i haven't seen in forever but is near and dear to my heart.

i'm also a big ya+lgbtq fiction reader and love talking books.

friends? :)

[seraphina_snape]

Parker is the BEST. *g* I have many fond memories of Chad/Ryan - sadly the fandom seems to be mostly dead, but I still see the occasional post on tumblr. :p

Oh, great - I love talking books.

Yeah, sure! *adds*

[worlds_of_smoke]

I am a huge fan of steampunk/YA/LGBTQIA+ books. :D Mind if I add?

[seraphina_snape]

I don't mind at all! :D

[savvyliterate]

I ADORE Check, Please! I just got the hardcovers from the Kickstarter. I'm adding you if that's OK!

[seraphina_snape]

Absolutely! I haven't found any Check, Please! fans not on tumblr - I'm so glad to see we exist out of that website, too! :p

[savvyliterate]

Yeah, I don't really dab into the fandom very much, but I was convinced to try it when a friend of mine shared Ngozi's table with her last year at TCAF. The line was so huge for her that the TCAF folks found another space for my friend so Ngozi could have the entire table. It was really, really cool to see. It was the same way at ECCC this year as well.

[swingandswirl]

Eee, Check Please, Harry Potter, Librarians and Leverage? /adds/ Not that I'm in any way up to speed on the last two, but still.

(also, yes, non-tumblr omgcp fans exist! I don't know how to do the HTML for it (fail, Tam) but there is a comm: smh_team. Come join us!)

[seraphina_snape]

\o/ Don't worry about being behind on stuff. I know the feeling, I'm, uh, years behind on some stuff.

(Thanks for that! I'll definitely check that comm out!)

[olivia_beige]

Yay for book posts! I'd love to follow you, please. :D

[seraphina_snape]

Sure! I'm always up for book talk. *g*

[feliciacraft]

Buffy fan and transplant from LJ here. You're the first person I've "met" on DW who has Buffy listed as one of their fandoms! I'm not active in other fandoms but I love reading about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, discussions about books, and OMG the Internet needs moar dog pics! ;)

Wanna be friends?

[seraphina_snape]

Really? Surely there must be more of us!

I'm not "active" in most fandoms - I tend to cycle through them, lingering here for a bit and then there, until something new (or old) catches my eye and diverts my attention - but I read fanfic in a lot of them. And I'm always up for some book talk and dog pics. I have several people on my flist who I openly admit I friended mostly because of their adorable dogs! *g*

Yeah, I wanna be friends!

Edit: I am now also following your tumblr for all the awesome Buffy content. *g*

[fleeting]

Hey! I'd love to add you if you want (I'm Lucy). I love Leverage as well, and I'm familiar with Check Please, though I think I'm behind, haha.

[seraphina_snape]

Yeah, sure! Always nice to meet more Leverage fans. *g*

[timetobegin]

oh man, i'm not sure why we haven't been friends on LJ, i guess i haven't been adding people in so long...anyway i was everythingshiny, now holtzmann and i'd love to be friends!

[seraphina_snape]

Yeah, sure. Just added you. :D

And I don't know why we weren't friends yet. Maybe we interacted enough in various comms that we never got around to it? IDK.

[timetobegin]

i think landcomms were just one big extra flist in the day!

[spindle_ella]

love leverage and librarians, and also books and cute dogs. Mind if I add?

[seraphina_snape]

I don't mind at all. *g* I suspect I'll have a lot of fun looking at all your craft projects. :D

[spindle_ella]

I think I'll have fun with the book reviews *g*

[charlies_dragon]

Hi there *waves*

If it's ok with you, I'd like to friend you (or whatever DW calls it) as it's always good to have another Leverage & Librarians fan as a friend! Also, your comment about Teen Wolf is pretty much mine too, though I think I'll finish season 3 off and think about it after that.

So, um, yeah, I'll go and do that friending thing :)

[seraphina_snape]

Yeah, sure! I love meeting Leverage (& Librarians) fans. :D

[charlies_dragon]

Awesome, thanks!
