Hello there! It's been almost a year since I last posted here, although I never went back to Tumblr anyway (leaving Tumblr was the reason why I joined DW). I've mostly been on Twitter but I thought I might try being here again. How is everyone doing? I hope you're all safe, here in Spain we've been on lockdown for at least 40 days I think, and it's honestly a lot.

I've been distracting myself by watching tv shows. First I finished watching Xena, which I had started watching already, and although I hated the ending I loved the show. I watched it as a kid so it brought good memories, and of course I LOVE Xena/Gabby. After that I watched Battlestar Galactica, which I also loved and actually had an ending that I liked (controversial, I know). I'm a bit obsessed with Gaius, as I think he's the most interesting character in the show, and with Six (especially Caprica) and their relationship. Finally, I decided to start watching Star Trek a few days ago. Mind you, I've been wanting to do so for years, but the amount of tv shows and films of the franchise intimidated me. I felt that I was ready now! I'm enjoying TOS so far, I hadn't watched old sci-fi since my Doctor Who days when I'd watch some random classic Who serials.

One last question since I'm back. Are there any active comms that you are enjoying lately?

welcome back! what kind of communities are you looking for?

[dickinsons]

Hi! I was thinking fandom comms in general.

[singedsun]

fandomcalendar which is good for tracking upcoming fandom projects/events
covidcoffeecorner is a new daily community with chatting prompts every day for chatting during this current lockdown time
sunshine_challenge should pick up in June will regular fandom based posting prompts // a sort of sibling community to January's snowflake_challenge
fictional_fans is a regular prompt topic chat community about fandom as a whole

Maybe those will help? I've found a lot of people and great conversations through those communities alone.

Thank you so much! Some of those are new to me, I hope I can also find people through those comms.
