Intro/Update thingy
Like many others, the issues over at tumblr have made me wonder if DW is about to get a little influx of activity. And since I've put my name into the friending meme yonder, I think maybe a little re-intro might be in order.
Hi! I'm Kris. Some call me Pepper--it's a name given to me when I became a "Laser Artist" and I'll tell you that story sometime, if you want. I've been wandering around online fandom since, oh, 1993-4, via *Prodigy message boards (specifically Sherlock Holmes and Phantom of the Opera). There've been significant gaps in there, but I joined LJ in 2005 or so, have an AO3 account, and all that.
When fandom, er, didn't migrate to DW, it coincided with a lot of RL life changes for me, and I feel out of fandom. I've never really found my way "back," partly due to, you know, LIFE, and partly due to the visual nature of tumblr fandom which is fine and dandy and I like pretty things, but I really don't like feeling ignored. And that's what tumblr often made me feel--ignored personally, and vilified generally whenever I saw wanky, anti-type posts about... well, anything. See, I'm a very PoMo fan, in that all things are always and not true at the same time, so absolutist language about fandom has always rubbed me the wrong way.
Putting that aside, for now, hi! I forget how to do this. I'm not sure what I'll be using this for in the future. My main fannish activities are co-producing sci-fi theater in Seattle and doing a lot of DW roleplay, so feel free to ask me about either of those. Or to direct me where I might find some good, old-fashioned interaction!
Other stats:
So hello and howdy! If there's anything you wanna know, or anything you think it'd be interesting to post about, say hi. I guess I'm just announcing that I'm still alive, and here.

Other stats:
- I'm an actor
- I work for a very tiny non-profit related to the recovery of salmon
- I love animals and recently lost my beloved pupper Mr. Darcy but I still have two cats
- I live with a roommate whom I met through the Sherlock Seattle convention so it's kinda nerdy there
- I watch a LOT of older film and love to talk about it
- I will talk about just about anything and I don't have any triggers or things I can't talk about. It's pretty hard to bother me that way.

Your fannish fall out sounds similar to mine. Time and Life getting in the way. I've slowly been posting more here on DW, trying to get back in. Tumblr was also a challenge. boo!!!

I think I'm going to be here more often, as well--if I can figure out what to post about, after all this time!
