hmpfHello. Anyone still around?
Since December I've developed a mild Doctor Who obsession. (Not for the first time; it's like a sort of fandom malaria that only flares up every four years. This is the third flare-up since 2005.) I want vids and fic, urgently, but as usual the fandom isn't really in tune with what I want and isn't writing any of the stuff I want. And as for vids, I'm not sure how to look for them anymore these days. Woe.
Here's a tumblr sideblog I made about Peter Capaldi. (Not that much happening there, as you can see. This is a minor obsession, and also, I've been working like crazy for the last five weeks or so, which doesn't leave me with much fandom time.)
I've also been posting a bit on reddit, when I got a bit too desperate for fannish conversation, lol. Also, I just miss forums as a format for conversation.
The other major internet place where I still do anything on a regular basis is goodreads, in case you're curious about what I'm reading. (Damn, I need to catch up on my reviews there.) I'm curious about what *you* are reading!
In theory I'm also on twitter, but I find it difficult to check that regularly.

I miss forums, too. I think they're still around for some things, but I'm so jaded with recent excursions into fandom that I just can't be bothered any more. Which is shit, I know. One of the points of fandom, for me, is having fun with other people, generally related to this thing we all love.
Hmm, I keep wavering about a goodreads account, but you and another friend are on there, and it may be a way to keep track of my books read this year. Also you could check out my generic book tag if you're that curious to know what I've been reading ;)
