[admin] Welcome & Friending Meme!

[smithens]

Hello everyone! I meant to do this the first day of creating this comm, but life got ahead of me. This post functions as two things: (1) a welcome to 62ruepicpus and (2) a friending meme for canon setting LM fans on Dreamwidth.

As far as the welcome goes: welcome! The comm founder is smithens (that's me). This community was designed to be a place for Brick-based Les Misérables fans on Dreamwidth to share and crosspost their content, as well as to have original conversations and discuss meta, headcanons, etc. Adult content is allowed so long as it is properly age restricted. As of yet, there are no rules other than "be nice to each other". More detailed rules may come along if necessary.

The 62ruepicpus Friending Meme

If you've never participated in a friending meme, it's quite simple: just copy and paste the code shown below into a comment reply to this post, and then fill out the form! Users can then review your comment and decide if they'd like to get to know you better, and you can do the same! Anyone with an interest in canon setting, Brick-based Les Misérables is welcome to participate in this meme, as that's the basis for the community. :-)

You can easily link to yourself on other sites using this format: <user name="USERNAME" site="SITE">. For a list of sites compatible with this code, check out Dreamwidth's "How do I make a link to another account?" page.

Please use the below template to write your comments! All fields are optional, but it's kind of useless without details about your interests, and listing your other identities might help you find old friends.

<strong>Dreamwidth account:</strong> <user name="INSERT-DW-USERNAME"> <strong>Identity on other sites (Tumblr, AO3, Pillowfort.io, etc):</strong> <strong>Old or former identities (Your old LJ or LJ clone, your Frenchboys.net email, LMFFI pseudonym, or Le Café username, that MdN or Abaissé forum account you abandoned, etc):</strong> <strong>What kind of content do you create?</strong> This can be anything from fanfiction to headcanons to tapestries to cosplay. If you're here, you almost certainly do something, even if it's "discussion"! <strong>What do you ship, or do you prefer gen content?</strong> Feel free to specify your OTP and secondary ships, the ship you like but only in one setting, or your favorite platonic ships in genfic. <strong>Favorite characters:</strong> <strong>Favorite parts of the Brick or digressions:</strong> <strong>Other interests:</strong> <strong>What do you post on your Dreamwidth?</strong> <strong>What is your journal's access or comment policy?</strong> <strong>Do you post adult content?</strong> <strong>Anything else you'd like to share?</strong>

Dreamwidth account: smithens

Identity on other sites (Tumblr, AO3, Pillowfort.io, etc): combeferre, smithensy, smithens, smithens. Combeferre on Pillowfort.

Old or former identities (Your old LJ or LJ clone, your Frenchboys.net email, LMFFI pseudonym, or Le Café username, that MdN or Abaissé forum account you abandoned, etc): My old LJ is hazellwood, and I also used this username on Abaissé, musicals.net, and Deviantart, among others (including Tumblr in 2010.)

What kind of content do you create?: I write canon setting fanfiction centered around the Amis! I also dabble very rarely in meta and share headcanons. Most of my fanwork is Teen-rated slash fic for Enjolras/Combeferre, but I also produce gen works.

What do you ship, or do you prefer gen content? My OTP is Enjolras/Combeferre always and forever. I also ship and sometimes write content for Jean Prouvaire/Combeferre, Joly/Lègle, and Courfeyrac/Marius. And I enjoy Fantine/Favourite and Zéphine/Dahlia.

Favorite characters: Fantine, Combeferre, Jean Valjean, Enjolras, & Cosette.

Favorite parts of the Brick or digressions: The Convent section is my favorite of the digressions. My favorite chapters are "Quel horizon" and "Cinq de moins, un de plus", and my favorite books include the barricade-related chapters as well as Book 3 of both I. Fantine and II. Cosette.

Other interests: Re: LM, I love historical fashion, historical education, and proto-Utopian/proto-Feminist philosophy. Not re: LM, I'm a dancer and like fin de siècle and inter-war English and French literature.

What do you post on your Dreamwidth? My public DW has my fanfic, finished sewing & scanning projects, book & film reviews, and icons/graphics. My private DW has all of those things + progress updates about most of them, and also personal nonsense.

What is your journal's access or comment policy? I prefer to have mutual access granted & I allow comments on all of my posts.

Do you post adult content? Sometimes! I always use DW's Age Restriction function.

Anything else you'd like to share? I'm the mod of this comm and hope it sees some use! :-)
