Welcome to the Introductions Post! This is where we can all get to know each other, and new members can introduce themselves as they arrive.

Copy/paste the text in the box below into a new comment, and fill it out with your answers. I've done mine below as an example. If you can think of any great questions I haven't asked, feel free to add on to the list.

Besides The Magicians, my other fandoms are: Killing Eve, MCU (especially Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel), OMG Check Please!, Venom, Black Sails, and Hannibal. (Oh, and Supernatural, but I've only seen up to season 5.) In the past, I've also floated around Teen Wolf, Lewis, Victorian Farm, Vera, Discworld, Jeeves and Wooster, Elementary, Doctor Who, Hockey RPF, Stargate: Atlantis, and Due South.
If you've seen me around fandom, it's probably because: I wrote Hawaii Five-0 femslash for a minute or two back in 2011-ish, and I wrote some fairly gen Lewis casefic in 2011-2012.
My other hobbies & interests are: designing and sewing my own clothes, cooking, historical fashion, cultural theory memes
I'm especially excited to chat about: possessed!Eliot's facial expressions
My access policy is: I grant access to pretty much everybody, since I don't really post anything personal here and so I would mostly be using friendslock just for conversations I don't want to be widely searchable.
Anything else you want to add?: Nope!
BONUS: My fave character/pairing is: Eliot Eliot Eliot Eliot Margo Margo Margo Margo Margo <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi, I love it!!

On Dreamwidth, I'm: greywash
Elsewhere, I'm: greywash | greywash on PF when I remember | greywash when I sullenly have to be | @greywash#0699 on Discord where I don't say anything
Besides The Magicians, my other fandoms are: Sherlock, occasional dabbling in the MCU, tawdry past in Harry Potter, due South/C6D is my forever fandom, about a bajillion small or smallish fandoms (Jeeves and Wooster, Endeavour&Lewis&Morse, Spy... I could go on).
If you've seen me around fandom, it's probably because: ummmmmmmmmm I have been writing a Brian|Quentin/The Monster|Eliot story, lately...? which is a sequel (ish) to some mosaic feelings with a side of porn that very kindly got recced on the Rec Center......? I lurk around extremely quietly in the Discord for 39 Graves...? I'm pretty new to The Magicians but I've been in fandom for over 20 years, so odds are good that if we've met, it's been in another fandom.
My other hobbies & interests are: I'm an old, so: work, more or less.
I'm especially excited to chat about: canonical depictions of queer friendship; reasons why I both love and love to rag on Quentin Coldwater, certified Dumbass Bisexual Disaster; the moral and ethical implications of magically-enforced Fillorian marriage; literally anything having to do with Margo Hanson and/or Eliot Waugh.
My access policy is: I use friendslock essentially never, though I do have two poorly-maintained on-request access filters for my originalfic; friend at will and I'll friend you back the next time I'm cleaning out my inbox, which happens... less frequently than it should, tbh. Just lmk if you want on the originalfic filters, though I haven't posted anything in ages.
Anything else you want to add?: I'm going to be watching S4 on a slight delay, so I'm probably going to be pretty spoiler-avoidant for the next few weeks.
BONUS: My fave character/pairing is: Eliot is my #1 all-time forever fave, I fucking adore him. Pairing-wise, pretty much any combo of Eliot, Margo, and Quentin will really wax my convertible; I also really enjoy Quentin/Alice because they make each other extremely unhappy and I am about 1000% exactly that kind of fictional sadist.

Oh my god, yes. It's awful.

[achray]

Hello! Thanks for getting this post going.

On Dreamwidth, I'm: achray
Elsewhere, I'm: achray on AO3
Besides The Magicians, my other fandoms are: Sherlock, MCU, and I'll read fairly widely in other fandoms if I like the author
If you've seen me around fandom, it's probably because: of my Sherlock/John fic, or one MCU fic that I was pretty proud of. Or if you're reading this, I have a couple of new Magicians things. Haven't been around in any interactive way for a good few years though, slowly attempting to change this!
My other hobbies & interests are: currently my hobby is Learning How to Use Dreamwidth. Otherwise, mostly I work, when not working I am generally lying on a sofa trying to read while kids and cats jump on me demanding attention.
I'm especially excited to chat about: anything Magicians-related. But mostly Eliot.
My access policy is: limited access to work-related posts, open access to anything general or fannish
Anything else you want to add?: I'm UK-based, unclear if/when S4 will be available here, but I'm not going to avoid spoilers because it could be months before I get to catch up
BONUS: My fave character/pairing is: Eliot/Quentin, or Eliot & Margo. Or really Eliot/everyone and anyone.

[allheadybooks]

Yes, Eliot/everyone!! I really like his vests. <3

If you've got any recent fic or meta about The Magicians, feel free to share to this comm! I'm going to add some templates for member posts to the sticky post shortly so we can all just copy/paste something to share our stuff.

lol Same!

[necessarian]

hi!!

On Dreamwidth, I'm: necessarian
Elsewhere, I'm: renaissance on ao3 and pillowfort
Besides The Magicians, my other fandoms are: mostly Harry Potter (minor charas & wolfstar), with occasional appearances from the Secret History and Merlin
If you've seen me around fandom, it's probably because: I've written a few fairly well-known (?) fics for a few fandoms not listed above; I used to be big into Jaime/Brienne (ASoIaF), Haikyuu!!, and Yuri!!! on Ice, but the older I get the more big fandoms overwhelm me, so now I dwell in niche interest (like the Magicians) and closed canon (including Harry Potter; everything post-DH is dead to me) fandoms exclusively.
My other hobbies & interests are: doing writing, doing science, but mostly lurking - I'm on a quest to get my original fiction published so for all intents and purposes I don't exist in fandom
I'm especially excited to chat about: Q/Eliot, and every variation thereupon, including different timelines and personas (Brian, Monster!Eliot, Beast!Q), etc. also I think magic is neat and I always want to talk about magic and creative uses thereof
My access policy is: if you're okay with seeing my whiny posts, I'm happy to grant you access :-)
Anything else you want to add?: after having read the books five years ago and only just caught up with the show, I'm finally preparing to jump out of lurkerdom & start posting fic... kind of nervous but nevertheless looking forward to becoming more active around here!
BONUS: My fave character/pairing is: well I mentioned my #1 ship already! my fave character forever and always is Eliot; but specific to the show as a whole, I would say my fave is actually Julia, closely followed by Harriet and recently Fen
