tinyforestspirit... and i think i'm figuring things out. slowly. this is the second time i'm writing this out as i clicked on something i shouldn't have and wandered away from the page. oops.
i spent a lot of time last night just exploring the site, trying to find anything related to my fandoms, which was harder than i had imagined it would be. we over on the hellsite love to complain about how useless the search function is, but at least it was simple. i have no idea how to begin navigating this. i found quite a few icons, though what you're supposed to do with them is still ever so slightly beyond me.
i did stumble across a jeeves and wooster kinkmeme, completely by chance, which was a win. i had read many of the fics over on ao3, but it was cool to discover their origins. it's dead though. like, no prompts filled in 5 years dead. which is a shame as i found quite a few prompts i'd like to take a stab at. i need to learn dreamwidth ettiquete -- is it acceptable to fill a prompt made over 5 years ago? coming from tumblr i don't see why not, but this is a completely different ball game. i've never used a site like dreamwidth before. by the time i was both aware and intrested in livejournal it had been bought up by that russian company, and from what i hear the western side of the site is living on borrowed time. all this to say, i have nothing to go on. from what i've observed so far, most people here seem to have come from livejournal. i haven't.
still, i'm fairly determined to work this all out. i'm intriqued. i worry about the state of tumblr, and need somewhere to retreat to should it all go tits up, which is looking increasingly likely.
i'd like to use dreamwidth as a way of getting back into writing. or, perhaps more accuratly, a new phase of writing. i am very much in the thrall of the adhd gremlins and i only realised yesterday that i'm on the wrong bloody medication. the adhd clinic (private, nhs waiting time for a medication review was an insane two years. like. what.) perscribed me medikenet xl, and the pharmacy have been sending me the regular, which has a large risk of drowsiness. i have been perpetually exhuatsed for weeks now and i only just put two and two together. mum got on to the doctors yesterday who said they'd send out a new perscription, but apparently they can't as the adhd clinic may have written the wrong medication on the shared care letter. so they fucked up. private healthcare really isn't what it's cracked up to be. i would say always stick with our good ol' nhs but. well. *gestures vaguely at the state of it*.
welp, that's it for a first post, i think. i shall now wander back into the great unknown.
