Age (optional): 19
Gender (optional): lady
Location (optional): New York City
Favorite Hikaru no Go Character(s): Sai, Akira
Favorite Hikaru no Go Pairing(s): Hikaru/Akira, of course! But Hikago is one of the few fandoms where I enjoy gen as much as I enjoy pairing fic.
Describe yourself in 5 words or less: geeky, sarcastic, cuddly, passionate, indescribable (seriously, this question is too hard; no one sitting at my kitchen table with me can come up with words for me! though someone contributed "informative", which I guess I also am, even though it's a codeword for "full of useless trivia"!)
Fandom activities you enjoy (ie. fanfic, fanart, icons, AMVs, etc.): I'm more of a consumer than a creator, but I'm hoping to change that a bit. I enjoy reading/seeing EVERYTHING.
Other Fandoms: I'm not sure at the moment! Right now, I'm mostly a fan of passing my classes. How I Met Your Mother, Avatar, Doctor Who, a lot of other things that I'm involved in to varying degrees. AND OF COURSE thremedon is our (searchsoleil's and mine) fan community for Havemercy, the novel of metal dragons and gay magicians which you all should read!!
Other Hobbies/Interests: Japan! Japanese! I used to have other interests, I swear. ^_^;
Anything else you would like to include about yourself: I like cookies!

Re: ue o mezashite

[searchsoleil]

I disagree, you are full of very useful trivia. Thus, informative!

Re: ue o mezashite

[lian]

oh, hey, Havemercy. Sorry, I have not even read it! ^^; but I beta-read schattenstern's Yuletide story "Spirits of Winter" set in that universe, which I thought I'd plug gratuitiously since Havemercy fanfiction is probably pretty rare. Maybe you'll like it!

Re: ue o mezashite

[ladyseishou]

Greetings Caitlin! "Informative" - I like that! And I know what you mean about wanting to see and read everything. It's a compulsion that's hard to resist, I know ;-)

Good luck with your classes! (passes a plate of chocolate chip cookies) Study hard! Fight-o! ^__^

Random Fact I CRIED WHEN YOU-KNOW-WHO DISAPPEARED in the manga :/

[ladyseishou]

Welcome Dannie! I know that a lot of people are keeping both LJ and DW journals. Me too (for a while anyway). Crossposting seems to be working well for a lot of people and we've set up RSS feeds for this comm and several LJ hikago communities so it will be easy to follow both no matter where you decide to post from. But I have to say that I like the "new car smell" here so-to-speak ;-)

Anything else you would like to include about yourself: My primary base is still livejournal, so there's not much point in subscribing to my DW journal.

(Fair warning: if you post very frequently and/or post a lot of non-fandom content, I probably won't end up reading you for too long, since I'm already following close to 300 personal journals and 200 communities. I just also want a bit more HnG content in my reading, hence my comment to this post.)
