Accounts: [personal profile] cordialcount / [livejournal.com profile] cordialcount
Name: cordial or any conceivable variant of my username
Age/Location: 20s / California, U.S.
Fandoms: Utena, Loveless, Inception, Hyakujitsu no Bara, Kuroshitsuji, Vorkosigan Saga, sf books (Alliance-Union, The Culture, Bel Dame Apocrypha, His Dark Materials, The Administration, Takeshi Kovacs, and more)
Also into, although not quite as fervently: Hannibal, Darker than Black, Orphan Black, Shingeki no Kyojin, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Durarara, Baccano, Ghibli films, fairy tales & mythologies, an assortment of lesser-known canons
What in fandom interests me: Discussion-- including with people who disagree with me. Meta, squee, fic. Narrative kinks and genre, fandom treated as a fandom in itself, the many different ways we can read a text or understand a show. Intensely dysfunctional or damaging relationships, femslash (and gen and het and slash), worldbuilding.
What in fandom does NOT interest me: People who don't act in good faith or can't assume the same for others; along similar lines, the idea that there is only one valid interpretation and all others lead to hell. Also celebrity culture and some huge fandoms and popular tropes, but I have an easy relationship with my scroll bar. :D
Major non-fandom interests: Fandom is totally a mindset. Mathematics, economics, languages & linguistics, modern China, poetry, historical tidbits
My LJ/DW contains or will contain: Primarily fannish things (media reactions, casual commentary, now and then a ramble of meta) and fic, the occasional snippet of real life; lots of semicolons, dubious em dashes, and asyndeton
Other: If you're posting about stuff I'm fannish about, I'd be delighted to subscribe to you even if you don't want to read me. Hi!
I have days when words feel like a thing seen but unreachable through glass, so I want to note now that slow replies have nothing to do with what you commented or posted, and don't at all mean I don't appreciate having you or your thoughts. ♥

Ooh, a fan of His Dark Materials? And you're into meta and discussion, including of fandom itself? You sound awesome! Mind if I add you?

Added you. :D

Asriel/Marisa were one of my first ships-- fellow heretics and mad scientists jumping together for the cause, oh yes-- I loved how passionately they felt about each other and how nonetheless their ambitions and competence meant more to them than romance. I also adore Lyra (and had my heart broken by her separation from Will) and Serafina and the ontological arguments implied in Dust and the darker streaks of the Magisterium. Which is to say yes, please! I'm always happy to find more people who still care about the series as more than a tag for daemon AUs, although I like those too.

I've got to say that it's a breath of fresh air to find someone who's into HDM itself, and not simply interested in giving dæmons to characters in other canons! HDM was my first fandom, and the first friends I made online were fellow HDM fans, so it's something that's very close to my heart. I look forward to getting to know you.

And I'm sorry I'm only responding to you now. It's been a very hectic week.
