Who am I? I'll tell you.

[catharsis_logs]

* - I am a recent new/old fan of BBC Modern!Sherlock.
* - I am also a fan of the new movies
* - am also fond of the books, which I have yet to read in their entirety.
* - Sherlock/John is my main pairing in that fandom, though I can also be convinced to read almost any other pairing, especially if that pairing includes Moriarty in some way.
* - I am also a fan of Green Lantern. Primarily in it for Sinestro when the man/alien isn't looking too particularly ugly. There are pretty versions of him, and then there are UGLY versions of him. I'm a sucker for pretty!criminals. Yes, I can be completely shallow as well.
* - I am bisexual.
* - Person of Interest is my main fandom at this moment though it has been slowly overwhelmed by BBC's Sherlock.
* - I ship Reese/Finch(Person of Interest), Hal/Sinestro(Green Lantern, Sherlock/John(Sherlock), Raven/Starfire(Teen Titans), Kirk/Spock(Star Trek), Kirk/Bones(Star Trek), as well as many more, including Starscream/Optimus Prime(Transformers), as well as many others.
* - I am a writer, looking to get back into fanfiction AND original fiction (mostly science fiction and modern fantasy.)
* - I am FTM. (Look it up if you don't know what it is)
* - I idolize Michael Emerson
* - I'm still waiting for my True Love
* - I have a Tumblr. (Just ask if you want to know. I have a trans account, and a regular blog where I reblog stuff and post my own entries)

I think that might be enough for now. Nice to know you, and hopefully the same is true for you.

*awkward wave*

Hello there! I spotted one of your entries on Latest Things a little while back, and I've been trying to work up the nerve to introduce myself ever since. It seems like we have some things in common -- I'm a huge Person of Interest fan, a relative newcomer to Dreamwidth, an aspiring writer, and... let's say, a little more familiar with depression than I'd like to be. (Plus there's the thing where I might be trans, of the FTM or FTWTF variety, but that's something that still confuses me on a daily basis, so sometimes it's harder to talk about.)

I'm pretty bad at introductions -- at least insofar as I hardly ever make them -- but since it sounds like you might be going offline for a while, I figured now would be a good time to be brave and at least say hi. So -- hi!

*awkward wave back/blushes like a madman*

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that someone can read my angst-filled journals and weird crack-kinks posted variously on here. If anything, I suppose that they might be interesting? Well, this comment (yours) was written today, so I suppose I haven't scared you away with my rampant shipping. (lol)

LOL at the going offline for a while. That entry was written on the 14th and amazingly, I had the luckiest day of the year yesterday. My life basically changed. Still depressed, still pretty much hate myself, still have no faith, but I got a surgery date (for top surgery the 27th of August!), AND accepted to the only college that I submitted an application for. So I will be going to school again in the fall, and with a flat chest too! :D

Anyway, the 'Great Escape' is my backup plan in case things REALLY go to shit. Just knowing that I have that option and that I can be prepared for that possibility makes me feel safe. Like I have an out, one that doesn't involve killing myself. :/

Anyway, thanks for reading my TMI journal!~ :)
And if you ever need to talk about anything (like possibly being trans or ANYTHING really) I'll be here. :)
*goes to update journal/check out your journal*


Out of pure curiosity, do you remember which entry was the first one you found on latest things?
And thanks for commenting and subscribing, I know that contacting someone for the first time can be (really) hard.
Nice to meet you!~

[enemyofperfect]

It's nice to meet you too! :) It's kind of embarrassing to admit how long I've been putting this off, but I think this is the entry that caught my eye -- especially the first few lines, which struck me as really funny and touching at the same time.

And yeah, no, your posts haven't scared me off at all! The angst, well, I get it -- and as far as crack goes, my most recent plotbunny involves introducing magic into Person of Interest pretty much specifically to give Reese gender angst, and then shipping him with Carter while they try to prevent an apocalypse, so... I would have pretty much zero ground to stand on, there, ahaha. Anyway, it's your journal, and if something isn't my ship or whatever, that's what the scroll bar is for, you know?

I hear you about the escape plan. Actually -- I wasn't sure how much you'd feel like talking about this, but I really admire you for putting in the work and thought to have some kind of fallback short of suicide. And I'm so happy for you that there's been good news since then!

Thank you for that offer to talk about things, seriously -- I might take you up on that. Agh, I can't even tell if I'm actually confused about what my gender is, or if I know and am just in denial because I know my family would flip out and I have essentially no social network beyond them. But anyway, that's a story for another day.

Contacting people is definitely pretty hard, you're right. But I'm glad I made the effort in this case. :)

Hi? I stumbled on your journal on Dreamwidth.

I'm alatefeline, I enjoy a lot of fanfic and sf&f and am, I guess, peripherally awre of most of your fandoms. I love Doctor Who and the Sherlock Holmes novels so I know I have to get into BBC Sherlock eventually. I have loved Star Trek for a long time but have drifted and want to get back into that fandom. Teen Titans and Person of Interest are both things I think I need to try eventually. I've read a lot of Marvel fanfic and seen all the MCU movies but I like the fandom more than the canon.

Also I'm Aspie and have some anxiety-ish depression-ish stuff sometimes. I'm genderqueer but not trans although I try to support the trans people I know. The things you post about coping with are things that resonate for me.

I think you write about interesting things and post interesting music and I would like to subscribe to your journal and probably blather a bit in comments, but not if that would bother you.

[catharsis_logs]

You can definitely subscribe and comment if you want! I welcome you. :)

I'm not as heavily into fandom as I once was (mostly due to chronic depression) but I'm always willing to talk about stuff including fandoms. I guess my current fandom is Steven Universe and various video games but I definitely come back to Star Trek and Marvel a lot.

I'm also honored that you like my music taste!~

But yeah, feel free to comment and just generally hang out.

[alatefeline]

Okay! Yay! Feel free to subscribe back or not.
