Okay! Every so often, we've passed a handful of Newbie Crops, the people who are going to stick around having decided to do so, and the people who aren't, having wandered off, and everyone is happy and friendly and swapping stories and forging friendships, and all the lovely stuff this community is, at its heart, built on. The problem is, everyone wants to hang out with their friends, swap cool stories, fanart, plug fanfic, etc - and everyone wants to do it simultaneously, and we wind up with a lot of voices going unheard or underheard because of the din.
This is where I remind you all that in addition to this lovely Posting Board, we've got a lovely IRC room (two, actually), and all PPCers are welcome* there. Chatting is awesome, chatting is fun, come hang out with us! And each other!
In addition to that, though, a lot of us have accounts other places - blogs, story-blogs, Deviantart accounts, GTalk accounts, Dreamwidths, et cetara, and I think a lot of us would benefit and be happy-fied by following and hanging out on each other's spaces thusly. So - consider this a free-for-all plug-your-space... uh... space.
Before I give out my own info, though, I'll hit the "Plug" end of this. If you're on the IRC when I am, you may have noticed my tendency to post links from Slacktivist. I'm here encouraging y'all to check this blog out, because it's awesome, quite honestly my favorite place on the internet 'sides this one, and if you're into theology, philosophy, politics, pie, snark, and/or general geek culture, this is a place you'll fit right in.
And down to the selfish contact plugs.
On GTalk, my name is the same as it is here, with an @gmail.com attached. I'm generally comparable to a badger or especially ornery snake in terms of vicious snapping, beware. On Tumblr, my account is http://vmthecoyote.tumblr.com/, and I'm also snarky and aggressive as well as frequently NSFW - beware. I have a DA account that's horribly inactive, but most of my writing, and a coming "Interesting Things Are Happening" feature, are located at http://thulcandran.dreamwidth.com/. Come check it out!
What about y'all? Where do you hang out?
*albeit, with the same "Don't be jerks to others, read the rules and abide by them" caveat that the 'Board carries.
