DPP: Mix Masala

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Hello Shipper Nation!! My name is Reshma a.k.a rdave1 . A shout-out to jeebs83 for hosting such a fun-filled week! I know I have big shoes to fill and I hope you all like what I have planned for the week!!

To start the week off I thought we’d do a mix masala style, a little bit everything thrown together.

So, yesterday jeebs83 posted that she opened up tumblr account for pilot love. What I want to know is how many online accounts, communities, photobucket type accounts have to set up because of pilots??

Also, since the conception of DPP and before, we always get great recommendation from other shippers on fics of all kinds. What makes the fics so memorable? Is it because they are well written? Is it a certain scene or a particular dialogue that makes it memorable in your head for so long? Do you have favorite quotes from fanfiction?

And lastly, we have some great writers in our nation who can come up with some great things in matter of minutes. We’ve done various types of round-robins. I would like to combine a few of those styles and do one. sci_fi_shipper did six word ficlet during her DPP and jeebs83 did a gif round-robin last week. Let’s combine the two, someone post a pic and then the same person or someone else come up with a six word s to go with it. The challenge is that next six words has be a continuation of the previous six words, you can add pics to go with every entry if you like. I figured a pic for every entry and continuation may be hard but hey we’ve got tons of great artist and that’s what photoshop is for right?:)

So let’s begin the party!!!! Have fun!!!

**On a side note, this week is Military Appreciation Week! Please give thanks to any service personnel that you know whether they be military, police, firefighter and such.

Well lets see, I started my livejournal because of my love for pilots and BSG. And that in turn has gotten me into photoshopping which I first started uploading to Photobucket (for those of you who still use PB, don't do it!!! Unless you have a premium account, your stuff will eventually be corrupted). I wouldn't say I started my personal Tumblr because of the Pilots, but I did start a Kara/Lee Tumblr for them. :)

As for fic, at this point I've read so many that it either has to be really well written or I won't read it more than once. Of course I have my sentimental favorites because they were some of the first fic I ever read for the fandom, but now for me it really does come down to the quality of the writing.

I have do have a photobucket account just for storage of pics for posting, nothing else. I know you didn't start a tumblr because of pilots but between you and Eugie, I need to check it out.

I remember when I first got into fandom, I would just about read anything but things have changed since then. Content does matter, the story has to be fluid and make sense and they have to stay close the personality of the characters. Of course, I make exceptions. I do have some favorites that I can read over and over again and still make me laugh and cry like As Earth... I just want to scoop up Kaia and hug her to death, she is adorable.:) Yes, I'm sucker for pilot!babies.

I've been noticing that everything uploaded to Photobucket looks horrible. I'll need to find a new host.

I upload my stuff to my lj scrapbook. :)

I haven't tried lj scrapbook, is it easy to deal with?

It takes a little getting used to, but I love it. You create and upload to your own folders, just like PB.

I might give it a shot. It seems easy.

I use shutterfly. I like it becasue you can turn the pics into a website as well. I'll see if it works with inserting pics and such in comments easily.
