Introductiona nd questions

[astridetal]

Hi, I'm looking for new friends and am an LJ refugee. In fact the only reason I still go on LJ is that I have a paid account there and can't get one here. Does anyone know why DW doesn't do PayPal?

Anyways, I'm 26 and live in the Netherlands. I love journaling, and have wanted to start writing fiction again a million times (I wrote YA stories as a teen), but never actually got down to it. I don't understand what fandoms are, which is my other question. I mean, is it that you pick a character from an exisitng media source and write based on that, or am I totally mistaken? I don't watch TV so I probably couldn't do fandoms even if I wanted to (which I've wanted just to connect to others somehow). I would like to connect to other people and get back into the habit of writing again. Also, I am a craftster, but since I don't have a paid account I can't upload my craft pictures here. I don't know what else I wanted to say.

I've had a quick look at your profile and, though I don't know what sort of films or TV programmes you watch, you'll possibly be more interested in the fic side of things as being more accessible to a screen-reader. There is podfic out there, too, but it's a very very minor thing at the moment, though I've got people on my flist who are passionate about it. There are several communities specifically for podfic and the people who create it - pod_aware, pod_together and podficmeta - I don't know what they're like but they might be worth checking out?
