When did you start watching BSG? approx. 4-5 years ago, but got around to finally finishing it only two months ago.
Why do you ship K/L? Because they make every other couple in film or TV look shallow and insipid in comparison, and if I had to go on about them I'd probably exceed the maximum possible length of a comment on here.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Adama and Madame Airlock, though pilots have pretty much ruined me for feeling this intensely about any other pairing anywhere.
How did you find this comm?: I'd been avoiding comms for years because I didn't want to get spoilered (my pace of watching has always been a little behind everyone else) but a search for places to discuss pilots led me here.
Favorite character(s): Lee, Kara, PapAdama, Madame Airlock
Least favorite character(s): as far as BSG goes, I have more dislike of stupid plot points than characters, really. But Blanders and Dee in S3 were plenty annoying.
Favorite episode: I'm expected to pick just ONE?
Favorite scene: For being the moment that cemented my pilots love forever, Kara ramming her Viper up Lee's in the miniseries. That his return from the dead, which basically made them my OTP. And confirmation in Daybreak that for pilots, it was love at first sight. And their reconciliation in Unfinished Business. (can't even start to pick just one)
Other fandoms: Buffy, Harry Potter, Firefly, Cardcaptor Sakura, Battle Royale (at least, those are the ones I still read fic for)
What do you post on your journal? personal stuff, once in a blue moon.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? I'm fine with adding people, it's just there's nothing in my journal, so if people don't mind that...
Three random facts about you:
1. My favourite sweets are wine gums (hence the username) except for the liquorice ones, those are disgusting.
2. I've met the founder of wikipedia.
3. I love lemons, and anything that smells or tastes of them. I've eaten enough raw ones to erode about twenty layers of tooth enamel, but nothing's happened so far.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Since we're here, I'd love to meet Kara or Lee, maybe lock them in a cupboard in the hope that they'd frak instead of beating the snot out of each other. But IRL, I'd love to meet Joss Whedon or J.K. Rowling, if I don't faint from nosebleeding fangirlism first.
Anything else you'd like to share?

When did you start watching BSG? ...January?
Why do you ship K/L?
Because they're prettyI really really love their best friends/sibling/past history/rival dynamic a lot.Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not really, but there are a couple of pairings I don't want to burn with fire?
How did you find this comm? Someone may have linked me to it? Possibly after I started creepily friending the authors of fic I liked? Probably

Date: 2011-07-06 10:19 pm (UTC)Age/Location (if you want): 27, Canterbury in the UK
When did you start watching BSG? February this year
Why do you ship K/L? Because they're several different kinds of awesome and they're the characters I identify with the most in the series. I was hooked on Pilots as a ship by AoC.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not in any hardcore way, though I do think that Helo/Athena are actually kind of cute. I like that they made it work, and not just because they had a child together. They really had something :)
How did you find this comm? Not gonna lie, I googled for "What if Kara had been grounded in Maelstrom?" and it led to a post here - I can't remember which one. Then I looked at the community as a whole and added it to my RSS reader cos I was too scared to join properly ;)
Favorite character(s): Lee, Kara, Helo, Cottle, Baltar (I'm not so sure it's Baltar himself I like so much as the fantastic job James Callis does portraying him).
Least favorite character(s) I run a bit hot and cold on Laura. I think she can be amazing but I have major issues with some of her decisions and a lot of what she does in s4 annoys me. Tory winds me up too, as does Kat (especially in Scar - when I first saw that ep I started really disliking her and never really stopped, so her death really had no effect on me).
Favorite episode: Gah, just one? I love the mini, 33, AoC, Colonial Day, Final Cut... I have fewer as we get further in to the series, but I really love the Mutiny arc. If it had to pick just one though I think I'd probably go for "33" because in many ways it's the perfect intro in to the characters.
Favorite scene: The brig scene between Lee & Kara in Six of One and the hallway scene in Islanded.
Other fandoms: An old-school set of girls school stories called The Chalet School. There were 60+ of them so plenty of room to play with characters. I've recently got in to Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. I also like Buffy, Star Trek (esp DS9), Stargate SG1, M*A*S*H, West Wing (s1 and 2) and ER.
What do you post on your journal? Stories that I write, general updates on my life, pictures, ramblings, my mental health comes up fairly often... whatever comes in to my head really.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? I'm happy to add and be added, though usually quite nervous about it. Weird, I know.
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like
Twitter: LizzieCharlton
Three random facts about you: 1) I'm a history geek and that's one of the reasons I stayed living in Canterbury after I graduated Uni 2) I have a
minorstationary fetish. Coloured paper, coloured pens of all shapes and sizes, fountain pens, gel pens, notepads, envelopes... I live in fear my huge stash will have to be culled before we move house. 3) I like giraffes. Best thing about my holiday last year was being able to hand feed some at the zoo.If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Probably Sir Archibald McIndoe and the members of the Guinea Pig Club. McIndoe was a pioneer of plastic surgery and in WWII performed life saving and enhancing surgery on badly burned pilots/aircrew. So that they didn't feel isolated he encouraged them to fraternise with each other so they made themselves in to what they called the Guinea Pig Club. Meeting them would be amazing.
Anything else you'd like to share? Since joining in here, and in other BSG comms you've all made me feel really welcome and less nervous of you all, so thanks! :)
no subject
Date: 2011-07-06 10:47 pm (UTC)I love how you found this comm. And, I love that you like Gaius (and I agree with you that James Callis' portrayal does WONDERS for my personal loving of Gaius).
I'm also glad to hear someone else not particularly liking Laura and would love to chat with you more about it.
Hey, I'm not going to bug you about adding me back, but I will add you to my LJ and I'm going to follow you on Twitter too, if that's cool

When did you start watching BSG? Last November
Why do you ship K/L? I adore all the many ways they love each other, and that they do, in spite of everything.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not nearly as strongly.
How did you find this comm? After the first K/L story I posted on beyond_insane, someone (actually, I think it was Nazkey!) invited me over :)

List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like: don't usually use these
Three random facts about you: 1. I dislike prime numbers. 2. I spent lunch today singing the different star wars themes with a group of 7-8 year old campers and it was AWESOME. They also pretended their breadsticks were lightsabers, but I was too mature for that ;) 3. I'm a little concerned that by the end of the shipswap on epics, Leoben will have taken over my brain!
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose?: Maryanne Wolf. I'm reading her book right now and in addition to wanting to be her when I grow up, she's an amazing writer and I have a total writer-crush on her :)

When did you start watching BSG? Erm, like, March, maybe?
Why do you ship K/L? Because I can't not.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? hmmm...not actively, but I always thought Dee/Gaeta would be cute, and The Tighs, because they loved each other so much, it was just sad.
How did you find this comm? I posted fic on beyond_insane and then people, I think scifishipper and kdbleu were all like, JOIN ALL THE COMMS!!! So I joined all the comms...I haven't had more than 4 hours sleep a night since
Favorite character(s): Kara Thrace, and HELO!!! And also Cottle, he's just soo crotchety, and I also think he looks like what Scott Bakula should look like when he's old, so his face makes me happy.
Least favorite character(s) D'Anna/Three
Favorite episode: Act of Contrition
Favorite scene: Lee's speech in Crossroads
Other fandoms: erm, BSG is the only thing I'm ACTIVE in right now, I watch MANY things that I don't participate in fandom for, too many to list really. FAvourite shows ever are West Wing, BSG (obvs) Buffy, Quantum Leap, and any and all period dramas ever. Oh, and anything Agatha Christie I am all over. OH, leverage! I'm a member of Leverageland, so that counts as actual fandom. Basically I am sporadically employed and have lots of time to watch stuff.
What do you post on your journal? Fic, and some other stuff, some thinky things, some pretty things, the odd meme here and there, it's a mixed bag.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? FRIENDS ARE SHINY

Age/Location (if you want): 32, Las Vegas
When did you start watching BSG? When Sci-fi re-aired the mini just before they started the series proper. I watched it for Jamie.
Why do you ship K/L? As previously mentioned, I was a Jamie fan long before the show. so I watched it for him, developed a girl crush on Kara almost immediately, and from their first scene together their chemistry was undeniable and unavoidable, and so very pretty
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not in the same way, not really.
How did you find this comm? friendly and welcoming. ;)
Favorite character(s): Lee and Kara, of course. Then Helo, Caprica, Doc Cottle... A bunch, really...
Least favorite character(s) I'm not a hater
Favorite episode: I deeply love Valley of Darkness for the fact that it is pretty much in real time, even though it is not shippy at all.
Favorite scene: Pretty much any time Jamie and Katee are on screen together my TV either melts or implodes from the sheer awesome... Also the exodus from New Caprica was pretty epic.
Other fandoms: um.... too many to list? But none really active online currently. I am pretty diverse in my fangirling, but I don't like the wank that comes with some fandoms online, so I just sit in my happy world with my popcorn and watch the shows.
What do you post on your journal? Nothing currently, because I fail at blogging.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? sure, welcome. I am very quiet though
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like @Echo6979 (twitter)
Three random facts about you: Um.... 1. I am a professional seamstress, I do costumes for theatre, so if anyone needs info on that, I'm more than willing to share tips and tricks, answer questions, etc... 2. I am currently growing my hair out long enough to donate it to Locks of Love... 3. I grew up in my grandmother's antique shop in a little historic town that was full of stuff like that.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Oh... Jesus, Buddha, Shakespeare, the usuals.
Anything else you'd like to share? I'm rubbish with thinking of things that may be interesting to the general public, but always open to questions, though I sometimes ramble long past the point of polite interest, so I apologize in advance.

When did you start watching BSG? While S3 was airing.
Why do you ship K/L? Because they're very multi-dimensional, complicated, and often sub-textual.

Why do you ship K/L?: Short answer - because they are awesome as individuals and they are just perfect together ( in the most adorable, imperfect way )
Do you ship anyone else in the show?: Not really, although I do like Adama/Roslin and Helo/Sharon (I liked Boomer/the Chief, as well)

Least favorite character(s)Baltar
Favorite episode:UBEX

Age/Location (if you want): Cali-four-ni-ay
When did you start watching BSG? Um. Around November 2005. I stole the S1 DVDs from my brother during the S2 mid-season hiatus. First TV show I ever followed. It sparked my intense love for television.
Why do you ship K/L? I... I don't remember why I shipped them at first. I didn't really know what shipping was. But I think it was because they were all banter-y and attractive and probably all that delicious angst. (This was before I realized I am an angst whore.)
Do you ship anyone else in the show? THE TIGHS ARE MY SEKRIT OTP. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
How did you find this comm? I actually found it before it went live! I was stalking
Favorite character(s): LEEEE, TIGH, ELLEN, Romo, Kendra, Natalie!Six, Baltar, Head!Six. Tyrol, until he beat up Cally.
Least favorite character(s) Sam, Leoben, generally Papadama... And I have a really intense love/hate relationship with Kara. It's the Lee in me. ;)
Favorite episode: UM. HMMM. UH. Crossroads? So much love.
Favorite scene: I really enjoy whenever Baltar or Zarek have conversations with anyone. It's always interesting. But, um, my favorite scene HAS to be the courtroom with Lee's speech. Or Romo's speech. He's awesome.
Other fandoms: Supernatural (if you watch this show too OMG PLEASE COME FIND ME ;_;), FASSSYNATION HOLY LORD ABOVE. Additionally: The West Wing, Bones, The Daily Show & Colbert Report, White Collar, The OC, Dark Angel, Buffy and Angel, Firefly, Doctor Who. I am excite for the new TV season for all those new shows!
What do you post on your journal? Spam parties, gif love, random facts of life... I'm not as active on my LJ, but I always try to hang at the flist's posts.
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? I'm not too concerned about people friending me because I don't lock a lot of things. I do hold back a little on certain things, but I'm easily won over.

What do you post on your journal? My fics pretty much exclusively
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? Sure, I don’t mind adding new people, but I rarely post anything except fic on my LJ. I do like peeking in on others, though. (voyeur, much? Yup!)
List your Twitter if you'd like SilentSpanking
Three random facts about you:
1) I have a wide opened sense of humor: clever & dumb, dry & moist, dirty & nunnish, they tickle my fancy.
2) Slight OCD (Three facts? Must create numbered list. Must look tidy. Must… oops, wandered off there :)
3) Spend far too much time on my computer. Precious…my precious… *stroking the shapely mouse*
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Hmmm, I could go for the sort of person I ‘should’ choose, but… it’d be cool to spend a day with Joss Whedon… or maybe Jim Hensen… or Nathan Fillion… or Katee Sackhoff. Ya, kinda shallow – but I’d need more time to think of an answer that was both ‘deep’ and truthful.
Anything else you'd like to share?
I love playing games: sports (volleyball, soccer, football), card/board (blackjack, Pictionary, Cranium), video (racing, Warcraft, Sonic).
I’m actually pretty competitive, though a good loser.
I’m always amazed at the wonderfully talented folks that hang here.

When did you start watching BSG? Just this May. I pretty much kissed sleep goodbye and devoted a solid two or three weeks to the four seasons. (This is really saying something. I am typically very attached to my sleep.)
Why do you ship K/L? I don’t know if I have an answer for this that wouldn’t eat up four pages word document. Because no other couple in any fandom ever has made me feel as much as these two frakking tragic individuals. Also they punch and love each other.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not really. I’m fond of Bill/Roslin in a detached kind of way but Kara and Lee are pretty much the end all be all for me.
How did you find this comm? One of my favorite things about new fandoms and ships is knowing that there’s probably a whole treasure trove of fic just waiting to be plundered. By the episode 3 I was searching “Lee Kara season 1 fic” on google and lo and behold: no_takebacks. (I kinda unfocused my eyes and sped past the pictures that make up the awesome header to avoid spoilers. Somehow, amazingly, this worked.)
Favorite character(s): Starting out I thought it’d be Kara (loved her from the moment she did her mocking victory shoulder bop dance) and Lee kind of irked me in the beginning of the miniseries (I was like- what is this high pitched voice? Why are you a whiny little bitch? I don’t even find you attractive), but then suddenly he was diverting missiles away no questions asked and went all “lady’s in charge” and cute sheepish smiles and came back and stared at Starbuck like she was all he needed in this fractured limping remainder of a world and he held her hand for too long. And I was like Forgive me, Lee. I was wrong. I was wrong. From that point on he grew on me in ridiculous all consuming ways till by the end of it I was like: Lee Adama for all awards and let me hug him and hold him in a pocket forever and even begrudgingly forgive him when he makes stupid ass mistakes like running scared the moment Kara finally mustered up the courage.
That one stung, Lee. Not gonna lie.(But oh right, yes. I also love Kara, of course. And Gaius Baltar. I can’t help my affections there. It’s not my fault he’s hilarious and James Callis is amazing.)Least favorite character(s) I wanted to punch Kat smack in her antagonistic mouth for the majority of the scenes she was in (brief bout of affection when she camera mooned. Then they decided that she would hate on Starbuck and I was like That’s it. This relationship is over.) Always ugghed my way through Cally scenes (more due to my issues with the acting than with the character. But a little bit due to the character.) Didn’t mind Dee until they 180’ed her into breaking Billy’s heart. Why, Dee? Why?
Favorite episode: Impossible question is impossible. 33? Unfinished Business makes me sob like a baby. The arc with Kara trapped on the moon. The mutiny arc in season 4. (It hopped me up on angry adrenaline and the urge to punch things. Love.) Oh god, Colonial day. Happy Pilots are such a rare commodity that I can’t not treasure that episode. It also gave us Good Cop/Bad Cop Kara Lee with Lee as the briefcase hurling alpha bad cop and it just doesn’t get much better than that.
Favorite scene: I’m here. You’re here. This is all that matters. (And I’m going to stand here and hold your face and save you when you’ve lost yourself love you unconditionally and make certain fans of the show blubber into clutched pillows till they can’t make out the screen through the tears.)
no subject
Date: 2011-07-07 03:18 am (UTC)Other fandoms: Oh god, there’s an endless endless list. Community, Harry Potter, True Blood, Dead Like Me, Extras, Veronica Mars… I kinda still watch Glee despite the fact that I now more or less hate its guts; I’m following the Dan/Blair storyline on the gods awful travesty that is Gossip Girl. I’m getting into Whoverse and I’ve just started Firefly. I’m strangely attached to Japanese and Korean dramas. The list goes on.
What do you post on your journal? Absolutely nothing. I will be a horrible friend. (Okay, one time I might have written a fic. And there is a smattering of potential fanart, but basically I’m pretty dead.)
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? Totally open. I seriously want all you Pilots lovers on my dash. I love that it's been how many years and BSG fandom is still alive and kicking. UBER LOVE FEST FOR YOU ALL.
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like Alas, I have none of these things.
Three random facts about you: 1) I once got my eyelid stuck in a zipper at a sleepover birthday party when I was ten. The horror lingers. 2) I’m planning on maybe hopefully transferring to a college in Japan in two semesters
because I am a weeaboobecause it is the only language I’ve ever attempted that I managed to vaguely grasp (failed horribly at Spanish, French, German- it was embarrassing.) 3) I can’t leave a normal message on an answering machine to save my life. I will ramble till the damn thing cuts me off. (Apparently that’s a trait that extends to livejournal comments as well because um LOOK AT THIS MONSTROSITY.)If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Oh god. I have no idea. I would say Lee and/or Kara but honestly, I know I’d just go beet red, be flustered out of my mind, and finally subsequently judged by the pair of them. They’re too awesome for me. I’d like to meet Katee Sackhoff though and be her friend. She’s more my speed. Also Margaret Atwood. I want to ask that woman how she and her brain actually exist. Are you real life, Margaret Atwood? Are there people who can actually construct such sentences?

Date: 2011-07-07 04:06 am (UTC)Name/Callsign: Rachel
Age/Location (if you want): US, thirties
When did you start watching BSG? Um, last year-ish?
Why do you ship K/L? Lee is my favorite character, and Kara is clearly the person who is most important to him, first last and always.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Can't say I do. I'm generally fine with the canon romances and wish them well, but I don't think much about them when they're not on screen.
How did you find this comm? I was probably looking for fics.
Favorite character(s): Lee, Kara, Tigh, Helo, Gaeta, would have liked to have seen more of Kendra
Least favorite character(s) I always feel like with this question I should say that I don't want to rain on anybody's parade. I can understand the appeal of basically all of the characters -- I think it's a phenomenal ensemble, and more power to the people out there who find a lot to love in the ones that rub me the wrong way. But for me, Baltar, Head!Six and Romo are often artificial and annoying. Also, I disagree with almost all of Roslin's decisions, and most of Cottle's too. Different strokes for different folks!
Favorite episode: The arc from KLG through Home
Favorite scene: Too many to choose one :)
Other fandoms: At the moment, Sherlock and Doctor Who (and I keep a distant half-eye on House solely because I like Wilson). I also still dabble in Harry Potter (for Snape). In the past...SO many :)
What do you post on your journal? Almost entirely just fanfic. I've written for BSG (Kara/Lee), Sherlock Holmes (old-style and new), Harry Potter (usually unrequited Snape/Lily), and the Whedonverse (brief forays into Buffy and Firefly).
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList or are you just super private and prefer to keep things locked down until you REALLY get to know someone? To tell you the truth, I don't friend people very often, though I love the people I know online. It's just not my thing, and I don't post personal news on my journal anyway.

Three random facts about you: I just got back from a lovely family visit, I was humming "Dalla sua pace" from Don Giovanni to myself while waiting to go to the airport, and my favorite Beatle is John even though I think Paul is the better musician. I am not the walrus.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional) who would you choose? Hmm. Not sure. James Madison would be interesting. So would Tom Stoppard.
Anything else you'd like to share? HUGS, obviously.
