Fandom Snowflake: Day Two

[brigdh]

I am way behind on this. In my defense, I am dying of consumption have the flu.

Day 2: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Antagony & Ecstasy is a very, very wonderful movie review blog that I have been reading for years and love no less today than I did long ago. Tim (the reviewer!) is hilarious, thoughtful, and full of all sorts of film knowledge and insight. In particular, I recommend his in-depth series on all of the Disney animated movies; Summer of Blood, where he reviews horror movies; or, because reviews of bad movies are always the best to read, this take on Homefront.

The Comics Curmudgeon - Josh reads daily newspaper comics. Which I can't deny is kind of a weird thing to write a blog about, and yet somehow it is SO FUNNY. I never knew I could be so invested in the plot of Mary Worth.

Fallen London - a very entertaining and addictive (also free!) browser game. Imagine a crossover between a Steampunk London, the Cthulhu mythos, the revolutionary parts of Les Mis, and Good Omens. I have recently married a Master Jewel Thief, and am spending a lot of my time in Mahogany Hall, performing on stage.
If anyone else already plays, feel free to send me actions. I am Draupadi, an irresistible, breathtaking, inescapable and sagacious lady.

OH someone on Facebook was going on about Fallen London a while ago and I forgot to go back and look at it - thanks for the reminder!

Okay, so I've got to sign up for Fallen London. Too many awesome people I know play it for me not to.

Would you recommend signing up a certain way? (Twitter vs. email vs. facebook.) Does it affect the game in any way?

What a fabulous résumé!

Feel better soon!

It's a lot of fun!

I just signed up using my email. If you use twitter or facebook, it allows you to report snippets of the plot (a lot of the game is short bits of story or world-building, written as though it were part of a book), but I don't use that feature. If you think you'll want to, twitter or facebook makes more sense.

Ha, one of the funnest things about Fallen London is the way it addresses you or describes your character (every time you log into the game, for instance, it reads "Greetings, Delicious Friend").

Thank you! I think I should be over it soon.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

You totally should! It's a lot of fun.

Oh yes, I remember Fallen London being horribly addicitive, which is why I stay away from it

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Haha, that makes a lot of sense.

Yes, but what do you do in the game?

I do love Comics Curmudgeon.
