double_dutchessAlways doing the unfashionable thing, I finally gave myself an LJ account as a Christmas present. A very cheap present it was too, because I don't expect to be posting enough to merit a paid account.
I know BtVS fandom on LJ is no longer thriving as it once was, but I still look forward to making new online friends, connecting to existing ones, and getting better access to all the Buffy (or actually, mostly Spike) related goodness that can be found on LJ. I like all of BtVS and AtS, but Spike is the main reason for me to be in the Buffy fandom.
Due to a severe lack of time outside the holidays I won't be posting much, apart from the occasional vid or image. I don't manage to make more than 2 or at most 3 vids a year, but I still have some old stuff that I intend to post occasionally to make up for my lack of productivity. Also, I will do my best to comment on other people's work, but I'm afraid I won't have time to write anything longer or more thoughtful than your basic variations on "I like it".
Anyway, LJ here I come!

Date: 2014-12-31 04:10 am (UTC)I do want to get better at it though because I love doing fic banners and the right text on an image can sometimes really make the difference. I haven't gotten seriously into PS yet but it has text effects I simply don't - the ability to wrap and shape text, to curve it around an object, etc - but there are also tricks I could still learn with ipiccy.
Megan used to do a wonderful job of setting off dark text with a light/ translucent "mist" and I never got around to asking her how she did it before she passed away. *le sigh*
