New Person Poking My Head In!

[superflight]

Hello, hello! New person here excited to find this community. :D

I Am: Kit or MxKit, they/them pronouns!

I Make: Fanfiction, mostly! I'm primarily a writer and I don't write much original fiction outside of NaNoWriMo; I want to get back into writing fanfiction more regularly so I'm hoping this community can help me do that. Other than fanfiction, I occasionally make icons, gifs, fanvids, and fanmixes.

I Like: Oh, way too much stuff. Right now my biggest fandoms are the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon from 2008, the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon from 2002, and the Highlander: The Animated Series cartoon from 1994, but in the past I've also written for various Transformers series (mostly Prime, Bayverse, and Rescue Bots Academy), Gravity Falls, both Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and that bad Kindred: The Embraced TV show that only got eight episodes, and Disney's Hercules. I am also hugely into She-Ra 2018, various DC things (mostly Batman-related properties, and mostly Scarecrow/Riddler when it comes to that, but not solely), a few Spider-Man comics, and the occasional other thing, usually fairly obscure.

I Play: I admit, I've hesitantly snagged a few bingo cards in the past from one or two communities and then chickened out. I'm not sure why. It's been a few years, though, and I love the look and laid-back, friendly feel of this place, so I want to make it my first successful bingo community! I have posted to a few other communities before; I'm a member of fandomweekly though I haven't participated in a bit, and I was active at waywardmixes.livejournal.com back when that was a thing.

Find Me: Posting to this journal is rare, honestly, and is mostly notes for me and the occasional fic I'm not totally sold on posting to AO3. Other than that, well, I can be found on AO3 as MadScientific and on Discord as MxKit#0566. Oh, and I'll occasionally post to YouTube as well, but not usually. I'm not really active in fandom otherwise.

About Me: Other than the above... I'm over 30 years old but don't feel comfortable being more specific than that. I love roleplaying (both tabletop and over text), singing, and music in general; I have four pet cats and LOVE animals; I have... a fashion sense (bright colors, hats, sunglasses, spoopy Halloween imagery). As for my fic, I tend towards focusing on the villains in a lot of stuff, though I usually tend to like at least some of the heroes as well. I like villain redemption as well as interpretations of villains as not that bad or even in the right, and I also like when some heroes and villains change their approach and take a third option/start a third faction. I also have a ton of trans headcanons and prefer to just casually write characters as being trans without it really having too much impact on the story most of the time; a lot of my fic just uses different pronouns than in canon super casually for a lot of characters because I like it. (I will clearly and thoroughly label any smut with trans characters.)

I look forward to writing and participating in this community, and I'm excited to be coming in for the Cotton Candy Fest! /o/

Nice to meet you

Welcome!

This community is good for that. If you want to start small, the Bingo Card Generator has options for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 cards. There's also a Diamonds & Dynamite achievement for small fills.

>> Other than fanfiction, I occasionally make icons, gifs, fanvids, and fanmixes. <<

Most challenges are open to all media of fills. Mostly we get fiction, but I usually do poetry, and we've had folks fill with art or fibercraft.

>> I admit, I've hesitantly snagged a few bingo cards in the past from one or two communities and then chickened out. I'm not sure why. <<

Some communities are high-pressure, have tight deadlines, use restrictive parameters, etc. that make it harder to fill a card. I do crowdfunding, so it's entirely possible for me to black out a card but not have a single line posted, which is really frustrating in a conventional bingo community. So I made this one low-pressure, high-inspiration instead.

>> I like villain redemption as well as interpretations of villains as not that bad or even in the right, and I also like when some heroes and villains change their approach and take a third option/start a third faction.<<

Me too. You might like my original series Polychrome Heroics, which has a LOT of that. Some characters, like Dr. Infanta, it really depends who you ask whether they're supervillains or superheroes.

>> I also have a ton of trans headcanons and prefer to just casually write characters as being trans without it really having too much impact on the story most of the time; <<

That's called "background parity" and is a later stage of identity literature.

You might enjoy my series Schrodinger's Hulk, which posits that because Hulk is a hypermasculine animus, Bruce must actually be a woman. (A man would have an anima instead, an indwelling female spirit.)

>> a lot of my fic just uses different pronouns than in canon super casually for a lot of characters because I like it. (I will clearly and thoroughly label any smut with trans characters.) <<

I am a fan of diverse pronouns in literature, and have used quite a variety of them.

Here is a list of my QUILTBAG characters. Some of my series have trans protagonists, like Frankenstein's Family.

Yay!
