Hello, new friending meme people :)

Since there are some new people following me from the friending meme, as well as a number of new people having added me over the months since I got into MCU fandom, I figured an introductory post would be in order.

- Most people added me on the basis of MCU/Steve-and-Bucky stuff, and I am still into that; I just haven't been posting about it. I've gone kind of lurky. But I'm definitely not out of the fandom yet! I've also fallen back into White Collar somewhat with the new season airing (it was my main fandom for about three years) and I'm just getting back into Invisible Man, early-2000s sci-fi show, for which I'm about to put up an episode discussion post in a minute.

- About me: writer, artist, lives in Alaska. I have a sci-fi webcomic (there's an update tumblr, kismetcity, where I also reblog stuff related to science, astronomy, or other things in the same general line as the comic). I try to keep my fannish stuff at least plausibly-deniably separate, though I'm generally more careful about not talking about the fannish stuff on the realname side than vice versa.

- I don't post much stuff locked. Usually when I do, there's a reason -- original-writing brainstorming I don't want to share with the world, personal stuff involving other people, random whining, that kind of thing. But most of it's public.

- I also don't have notifications of friending/subscribing/etc turned on, so I usually will not notice if someone new is following me. I never mind new people dropping in to comment on posts. You don't feel like you need to introduce yourself or anything (although you certainly can). If you see something interesting you'd like to comment on, please go ahead!

Invisible Man watch/rewatch - 1x01 Pilot

Welcome to the Invisible Man watch/rewatch! If you'd like to join in, Hulu has the entire show for free. There are also a number of full-length episodes on Youtube (search "Invisible Man 2000" or "Invisible Man tv"). You are welcome to join the discussion at any point, whether or not you're watching episodes with us.

Because some people are watching it for the first time, spoilers for future episodes or plot developments (anything in advance of the episode we're discussing) should be hidden. For spoilers, please use your choice of the following:

• rot13 (copy-paste text into the cypher window to code or unencode it)
• LJ spoiler cut: <lj-spoiler>spoiler text</lj-spoiler> -- does not work on DW
• spoiler span text: <span style="color:white;background:white;">spoiler text</span> -- does not work on LJ

Otherwise, anything's cool except for bashing other people's character/pairing preferences (but I don't think anyone would do that anyway). Critical discussion and squee are equally welcome.

LET'S GO!

Invisible Man 1x01 - Pilot

( Comments under the cut )

Tell me your thoughts!

Also, for the next episode, shall we try two episodes a week to start? I can put up a post for the next one, "Catavari", in the middle of the week on Wednesday or so, and then a post for 1x03 this upcoming weekend. We could also wait and do "Catavari" on the weekend if people would like more time.

Some Invisible Man icon sources

It turns out that trying to find LJ-style icons for a show that's almost 15 years old and has next to no existing fandom is really hard. I keep finding places that USED TO have icons but now have sad little white boxes or "journal deleted" notices. (And yes, I could make my own, and I may do that at some point, but I'm lazy. Part of the problem is that making screencaps is an enormous pain since Apple in its infinite wisdom decided to make it as hard as possible to take screenshots from a DVD. I get not wanting people to be able to rip it, but screenshots? Seriously?)

Anyway, I did find some icon posts still active, in case other people want some!

Icons from the pilot
More icons from the pilot
Still more icons from the pilot
Assorted icons from the first few episodes (no major spoilers that I noticed)
General season one icons (contains some spoilers)
Invisible Man icons as part of a misc icons post (no spoilers I noticed)
Invisible Man icons in a multifandom icon post (didn't see any spoilers)
Icons mostly from episode 2 (lots of needles in this set, for the needle-averse)
