DPP: Question Day!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Hello, Shipper Nation!

Here on the final day of my reign of terror, I'm opening up the floor for questions.  Anything to do with pilots, LJ, fandom-- whatever.  Newbies and old folk, bring whatever you've to the table (no matter how silly it sounds.  Chances are, someone probably has the exact same thing rattling around in their brain.) 

So bring forth the questions and our panel of experts shall respond forthwith!**


** Isn't "forthwith" a great word?  I think it's like in my top ten right now.  Right along side "methinks."  And "quash."  Excellent word, quash.

Reminder: THE DPP NEEDS YOU!

Now that so many new folks are here and contributing to our discussions, I thought it would be a good time to remind people that we have free slots in the DPP schedule for those who'd like to drive our shipper train for a week. (Please keep in mind that you'll need seven days worth of interesting pilot-centric topics and PLAN AHEAD. No fizzling out on us, nuggets!)

Yeah that's right. I'm not above calling people out. ;) Pick a week and tell us/show us/sing to us your love of pilots. You know you wanna.

Daily Pilots Post: Animal Version

[ecstaticdance.livejournal.com]

Right.  So.  I get to follow the Marvelous Ms. Bee.  I am jeneviverose  (aka Jen), and I will be your hostess this week for the Daily Pilot Posts.  Kudos to all the previous hostesses, and thank you so much!  Thinky thoughts!  Squee!  General Fun!  I'm gonna add some randomness to the mix.

So, pets are kind of on my mind at the moment.  Pets lead to animals in general.  When you consider that Pilots are pretty much always there, that leads to several questions.  First, the obvious.

1) What kinds of pets do you think Kara and Lee might have had (if their lives had allowed them) before the end of the worlds?

Second, I'm fascinated by the idea of totem animals.  Not in a "let's all pretend we're Native American and figure out which animals have lessons to teach us" way (although that does intrigue me, too, on an academic level), but more on a "which animals do we self-identify with and/or feel a special affinity for or connection to" kind of way.

2) So, which animals do you think Kara and Lee might have identified with most?  And which animals might they have liked most?

And finally, we all know that other often see us very differently than we see ourselves.

3) What kinds of animals do you think others might have identified with Kara and Lee? (And if you think different people saw them differently, who saw them as what?)
