Morgan Dawn Intro: In The Year 2525....

[morgandawn]

This is an journal for and by adults dealing with sexual and political as well as personal issues. If you are under the age of 18, please get the appropriate consent before proceeding.

Fan:
I am a multi-media fan, love sci-fi and fantasy and have been involved in reading and writing fan fiction for the past 12 years. I am in my 40s (to give you a rough age and experience range). My fan fiction can be found here. Fiction with adult ratings or adult subject matter will be labeled and cut-tagged. Please read responsibly. My fan vids can be found in streaming format here

Person:
My other interest is a rare genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) that I have been diagnosed with.   I also ask that you take time to read this before posting or commenting about EDS.  Please note that comments on typos, grammar and formatting will be deleted. LJ formatting problems may or may not be able to be fixed - do not feel offended if I am unable to respond to your request. Hopefully after reading about EDS, you will understand why it is difficult to type and participate online.

WARNING: If you are looking for more info about EDS please header over to the volunteer EDS Alert blog here. This is a private journal and EDS is not the main topic of discussion. Please do not give out the link to my private journal (unless you are interested in fannish things, vidding or disussions about slash and sexuality). If you're only interested in EDS, I tag my EDS posts here.

LJ Info:
I really don't have a friending policy. In fact I am somewhat haphazard about it. If you are adding me to your journal reading list and want to be added back, it does help to drop me a note who you are and what are your interests. I have extensive filters and try to keep up with people that way. My blog contains a wide range of topics: personal, political, financial, legal. fannish, and medical. I can be silly and serious. cranky and goofy -often in the same post. I have a very twisted sense of humor - if you think something is funny, more likely than not I am intending it to be funny. And sometimes I am intending it to be so even when you don't think it is funny. My humor requires a great deal of ....humour. And last if you are reading this journal or if you've asked to be added to my friends list to read locked posts - you are agreeing to this. Read it. And then if you want to be added to my friends list, drop me a comment with some info on who you are, what topics you are interested in and that you've read and agreed to the things I need in order for me to feel comfortable inviting you into the more private areas of my 'home.'

Linking: Blanket permission to link to my public posts. Heads up appreciated.

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find.....

Are we there yet? And where are the flying cars?
PS. Nothing posted on my blog or in any of my comments is legal advice. From time to time this journal will provide background on legal issues; it does not provide legal advice. Legal advice is tailored to the facts of your particular situation. If you need legal advice, consult an attorney.

When you say it does help to drop me a note I hope that means it's OK to do so here; I'm assuming this intro spot accumulates notes and you delete them as they pile up? Please excuse the untidiness if I misunderstood! So, this is a note to say I'm just going to friend you because your posts are interesting and informative (and because you are an incredible vidder). I am a DS fan from a couple of years back, mainly lurking as I didn't have an lj then, and I currently live in the back pocket of The Professionals. I hardly ever post (I'll just be over here in the quiet patch), just stick my nose in from time to time. Hope that's OK. ::waves::

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

yes that's fine. and thanks for the heads up.

Hi there - take a moment to read this and if you agree with it, let me know. I'll then add you to my friends list

Hi. I hope you don't mind but I put you on my reading list (after reading and agreeing to your personal terms of service).

I really enjoy reading your posts on finances, fannish 'stuff' and legal issues. Feel free to friend back or not as your comfort level and/or interest levels allow :)

Hello there --

I've added you to my flist/reading list, but I thought I'd drop a comment as you requested and introduce myself. I'm Aspen. I found your journal through a shared interest in vidding and the mechanics of vidding, as your name is one that keeps coming up in such discussions, for very good reasons.

I have read and agree to your terms of service, and am also interested in a number of the things that you mention as discussion points. I'll understand if you don't add me back, of course-- it's your space, after all! All the best, either way, and see you around the fannish circles, perhaps.

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

hey there - I moved most of my vidding posts to the vidding newsletter (I do the weekly meta and tech newsletter.) I will still post about vidding and copyright issues here from time to time

what vidding software are you using?

[wynkat1313.livejournal.com]

howdy,

co-LJer Lori recommended that i take a look at your journal because I was diagnosed with MCS this winter and am looking at needing to file for SSDI and dealing with all that crap. She figured I might learn some useful stuff from your postings.

I also like fan fick and lots of the other things you seem to be interested in... so this seems like an interesting journal to read. I'm happy to be friended back or not as works for you.

Blessings,
Wynkat

Hey. Just letting you know that I am friending you *waves* I'm into vidding and saw you 'God Says' vid on imeem (which is wonderful) and then stumbled across your livejournal. I've read through journal and you seem like an interesting person to know :)

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

waves back! waves back very late. :-)

Hello. I had asked a question in vidding about downloading from Youtube. About four ppl had answered me by giving me links. Why did you delete my post please? I did not have time to check all the suggestions.

I read the rules

. It said that

LENGTHY

discussions should be put behind the cut or would be deleted. My question was really short... hence no LJ cut....; and so were the answers. And its not like the q was off topic either. I wanted to save the answer to memories too... Since you mods deleted my post. Could you please remind me what the programs suggested to me were again? I got download helper so far.... thank you.

Diluvian's Dvds for you

[jencat004.livejournal.com]

Please check out post http://community.livejournal.com/darlingdiluvian/7929.html and let me know how you want to proceed to get your DVDs! :)

[klingoncat.livejournal.com]

I friended you just now - after hansbeckhart (think I spelled that wrong) recced your LJ for a good place to watch for vid recs - liked the ones I checked out just now so I want to keep track of any new ones - you can friend me if you want but I don't post much - so I'm not offended if you don't - I'm not that verbal (as I am a painter and work in pictures more than words) anyhow thanks for the recs. klingoncat (Leslie)

I feel the same.

[ancientsavvy.livejournal.com]

Would you mind friending me back for your fannish filter? Thanks!

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

hi there - my fannish posts, myfic and my vids are unlocked. enjoy!

[ancientsavvy.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

It's KC

Hey mind refriending me? I accidentally deleted everyone when I renamed my journal. Whoopsie.

[cesy]

I just saw your Fanlore icon, and would love to use it, if that's okay. Is it one that you made, and should I credit you, or someone else?

I got them from here

[morgandawn]

they also have banners and just before Bascon we worked on a convention flyer http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fanlore:Graphics

Re: I got them from here

[cesy]

Thanks!

[tuuulia]

Hey, it's Tuulia from Fanlore.
Just letting you know that I'm friending you, you don't have to friend me back if you don't want to (i'm okay for reading anything you're writing), though.

My entries are all public at the moment.

(I'm gonna also add you on LJ under the name: tuuliaxo)

Hi!

I'm an admin over at hp_fanworks, which was recently renamed from hp_fanfiction to better reflect that we take all kinds of fanworks. I was wondering if it might be possible to run promo for hp_fanworks on vidding? I'm trying to reach out to HP vidders, to let them know that they're welcome to promo their works at hp_fanworks, and so I'm asking the various admins of vidding. :)

[morgandawn]

I am fine with it - focus on the vidding angle - it will help pull vidder's attention.

[boundbooks]

I actually heard from par_avion a little earlier, and so went ahead and made the post. However, I did make sure to put the vids and vidding foremost in the post! :)

Hello! Recent DW subscriber here - someone mentioned your recent series of fandom history posts, and that sounded right up my alley. Plus you're another Vividcon vidder, so that's another draw for me. Um, so, hi! :)

[mxcatmoon]

Just wanted to say hi! I've seen your name around fandom, so we probably have had some previous fandoms in common. I love your journal, I see you provide some great info about all those wonderful things, like fanzines and vids. I'm old school, so it's right up my alley.

I have Lipedema, so I've heard about EDS, as you probably know there is a lot of overlap among people with these similar conditions in the communities (such as Facebook groups). So I know the struggle you deal with on a daily basis.

Hi! Leaving a comment here as I have subscribed etc. My interests are vids and archiving etc. I also read your TOS post as requested.
