Introduction Lilly C

[lilly_c]

I am: lilly_c and am generally quite shy when it comes to introducting myself to others. Hi.

I make: fan fiction and icons, with occassinal wallpapers, music videos and original fiction.

I like: far too much. These days I tend to focus on a few TV based fandoms that I've been involved with for a number of years, and I'm currently rewatching most episodes of Taggart (I don't have all the DVDs yet). Music is my main source of both entertainment and inspiration, most of creative work is inspired in some way by music. Rugby league is my favourite sport, I grew up watching it and for several years worked at the local ground on matchdays when I was living in England.

I play: cottoncandy_bingo it was my first time trying a bingo challenge and I admit that I failed rather spectacularly with this because I didn't create anything at all but I am looking forward to attempting it again when round two opens. I rediscovered my card from round one in October and have been using some of the prompts as inspiration. I'm currently doing genprompt_bingo and so far I'm managing to create fills. I also take part in several non-bingo prompt challenges too and have got a pile of unused prompts that I go to when I'm stuck with a creative project.

Find me at: lilly_c is my main account which is locked with a few posts set to public.
alittleimprobable is my little kingdom where I post all of creative works and everything is public.
l1lly_c my prefered social site.
pr1nce55k1tcat is mainly used for posting prompt fill fics and I also have few personal favourites posted on there too.

About me: I live in the North East of Scotland and have done for almost five years, moving here changed my life for the better. I don't own a TV so any shows I get into are usually via DVDs, either borrowed from the local library or bought second hand from Cex. I have learning disabilities (dyslexia and dyspraxia) and although I tend to just get on with it, I do have bad days with both conditions and usually make grumpy "I can't spell and I'm clumsy" statements when I'm feeling frustrated with the way my brain works. When it comes to writing I started out by writing music while I was still at primary school and over the years got into fan fiction, although I loved working on my music I fell out of love with the process and I do find that doing something creative helps to improve my written vocabulary. I've also written two articles on self injury for the annual awareness day. Around 8 years ago I went through an extremely difficult patch and wrote poetry to reflect what was going on but I never posted them online.

(I could have worded all of this so much better. Oh well.)

Introduction: elizabeth_rice

[elizabeth_rice]

I am: elizabeth_rice. It's my fandom pseud and I've been using it since 2005.

I make: fanfics. I've started writing meta again (last time I wrote meta was in 2004). Recs.

I like: lots of things. As long as the fictional work (or fanwork) is entertaining, I'll enjoy it. I love games, especially action and puzzle-solving/mystery. I don't like sports except for baseball, skateboarding, archery, martial arts, horse riding. Besides bows and arrows, I love swords. Especially curved blades. My favourite genres are horror, mystery/crime, and comedy.

I play: I started participating in bingo challenges last year so it's a small list: ladiesbingo, kink_bingo, and genprompt_bingo. I've only posted my fills for KB so far. I'm also waiting for cottoncandy_bingo to open. :)

Find me: you may PM me at elizabeth_rice or elizabeth_rice. My fanworks are at elizabeth_rice and fanfic_by_lizzy. My recs and informal meta posts are at lizzys_study. Anon (screened) commenting is on at my DW comms and on AO3.

About me: I'm an artist. Besides art, I've also studied sociology and psychology. Luckily I only took an introductory course in psychology because it turned out to be a huge mistake. Taking sociology was the best decision of my life. In fact, I was preparing to study criminal law but I changed my mind because of the apathy and corruption in the justice system. (Hm, I'm being very chatty. Might as well spill it all.) I'm also a survivor. I've mostly moved on but I'm still recovering. I've got major anger issues, triggered by witnessing someone else being bullied or discriminated against or treated unfairly. Trust issues, intimacy issues so extreme that I cannot even receive or give internet hugs. Anxiety disorder. Slight OCD tendencies, tendency towards depression, slight tendency towards suicidal thoughts. And nightmares. I compartmentalise and have developed a rather dark sense of humour, gallows humour = coping technique. I'm very sarcastic but mostly not online because sarcastic jokes heavily rely on tone of voice and facial expression and it just doesn't work online.

January Community Post

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is the allbingo community post for January, 2014.  What were your bingo activities during the past month?  What are your plans for February?

It's been an exciting first month here.  We currently have four affiliated communities, crosslinked with cottoncandy_bingo, genprompt_bingo, ladiesbingo, and origfic_bingo.  According to our profile, we have 66 interests and 35 subscribers.  Several folks have already posted introductions; more would be welcome.  Somewhat more people have gotten bingo cards.  Yay, progress!

Remember that cottoncandy_bingo is scheduled to reopen on February 1.  Stand by to get your cards!

Also, allbingo is hosting a Bingo Valentines fest from February 1-21.  Play with a card from any suitable community or make your own.  Would you like to team up with someone else?  Post a comment asking for interested partners.  Fests like this are especially fun when folks link up art/writing/other goodies featuring the same characters.
