Three random facts about you: I work in live theatre, I was an award winning mock trial lawyer, Greg Rucka is my favourite author
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose?: Shakespeare
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 03:46 pm (UTC)I love that you worked mock trial. I studied law, but having to argue stuff in front of people gives me the heebie-jeebies, which is why I have mad respect for anyone who can do it well.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 04:38 pm (UTC)Not really a minority. I really like that hair for that stage in his "journey" so to speak.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 04:01 pm (UTC)Fountain pens are the absolute best, writing-wise. It's a pain in the ass to refill them, but no other writing instrument can make handwriting look so gorgeous (I've never tried quills so can't say what they'll do)
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 04:30 pm (UTC)This is so cool - on both counts. I like fountain pens. I tend to make a mess I I try to use one but that's another story. And Russia - I should just stop being lazy (or resentful for historical reasons) and go visit that country.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 04:25 pm (UTC)When I saw the post a couple of things crossed my mind. Some (not all) of them were like: how the frak did I manged to answer all of this last time and why did the answers keep changing on a daily basis. and then there was the part about the guilt of not really being active these last couple of months. And the fact that I should probably do a post on my LJ about what went on and all of that RL crap. But enough about my rambling self...
Name/Callsign: Ana-Maria
Age/Location (if you want): 33, Bucuresti (even if Eastern Europe is usually enough)
When did you start watching BSG? aaaaa... 2,3 (?) years ago? about the time that they announced Caprica. Don't ask cause the story about me and starting BSG is known to provoke headaches.
Why do you ship K/L? Do we actually have to answer this? Because they are THEM????
Do you ship anyone else in the show? ship, like ship.... nobody. I don't have anything against other couples like Helo/Athena, Adama/Roslin or even Gaius/Caprica but I don't really ship them.
How did you find this comm?another strange story. it involves a lot of fics from
Favorite character(s): Lee (probably Felix from outside the pilots zone)
Least favourite character(s) Cavil
Favourite episode: depends on the day. HoG, Home, UB, even DB2 some crazy days.
Favourite scene: that's even worse. as an example.... we did Exodus part 2 and Collaborators for the rewatch 2 days ago and I really liked the scene with Lee and Bill when they speak about Lee trying to lose weight. YES, I know, I'm crazy like that.
Favourite eyefrak: hmmmm.... the QoD at Joe's.
Favourite handclasp/handshake: the one from the Mini.
Favourite pilotkiss: the Brig scene.
Favourite Lee!Hair: are you going to shoot me if I say the Mini????
Favourite Kara!Hair: I like all of her hair. It's way more realistic than some "hair" from other characters during the series.
Favourite pilotfic: WAW.... There is a list, a long list. If anybody wants details, fell free to ask.
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I tend to read a lot of fics (or at least I used to and I'm trying to). When I have time I like to at least read and even jump into meta, I'm always available for squee-parties and all of that. IDEK what to say about writing. As some of you might know I tried here and there to write some stuff but I don't seem to find the time (or the self-confidence to be more precise) to actually finish anything.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 04:25 pm (UTC)Other fandoms: depends on the level of involvment... there are a couple that I was (still am) sort of involved in but I usually tend just to watch a show and when it's over, it's over. Which makes this one so special. almost 3 years after I watched it I still think about it.
Favourite book: There is one book (series of books) in Romanian. Long story... but it involves spies, paranormal and alien activities, a lot of romance and other stuff.
Favourite movie: Depends of when you ask. These days I'm sort of obsessed (like some of you) with Avengers.
Favourite tv show (currently airing): White Collar, Rookie Blue, ....
Favourite tv show(completed): today.... Star Trek: Enterprise - I just finished watching it a couple of days ago. All in all.... probably JAG or the original L&O. Hard to choose.
What do you post on your journal? Lately, nothing at all. What I would like to post is a totally different story.
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 get to know people properly? I don't have nothing against new friends on my Flist.
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like @eu_anamarya on twitter and ana79ro on YM. I tend to use Gtalk for work so that's trickier. It's safer to look me up on FB and add me there - my students are doing oit with pretty good results.
Three random facts about you: 3? Really? like how am I going to choose just 3? ok, I'll try... 1. I like cats. A lot. 2. Even if I can wear high heels (pretty high for my own height) I tend to use sport-shoes in 95% of the time. 3. I don't own a driving licence - I just didn;t found the incentive to apply for one. Is that random enough?
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? OMGs, that's the hardest question of all.... but I guess these days - Vlad "The Impaler" Tepes. I want to ask him to come back and do something to the political class in this country.
Anything else you'd like to share? Not at the moment. But that might chance in 5 minutes or never....

Date: 2012-08-20 04:29 pm (UTC)When did you start watching BSG? After it was off the air, that's for sure. Maybe 2010?
Why do you ship K/L? I just like them :)
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Nope.
How did you find this comm? probably searching Kara/Lee on google, I don't really remember. I first came by here right about the time the DPPs started up.
Favorite character(s): Lee (he's my favorite), Kara, Tigh, Gaeta. Adama and Roslin are interesting though I usually disagree with what they're doing.
Least favourite character(s) Baltar, Six, Leoben
Favourite episode: Crossroads Part 2, probably
Favourite scene: I like the hug at the end of Captain's Hand
Favourite eyefrak: I don't really have one?
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Ressurection Ship 2
Favourite pilotkiss: Six of One
Favourite Lee!Hair: I like it longer. The gelled duck-bob of first season annoys me.
Favourite Kara!Hair: Unfinished Business, in the ring
Favourite pilotfic: anything by
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). Mainly I read, write, and meta. I admire vidders, too, they've made some beautiful creations.

Favourite book: Pride & Prejudice
Favourite movie: Lawrence of Arabia
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Doctor Who and BBC Sherlock
Favourite tv show(completed): That's tough. Buffy or the Granada Holmes series, probably.
What do you post on your journal? Fic and occasional memes.
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 get to know people properly? I don't do friending much, but that doesn't really matter since I've never posted anything private. No one is missing anything!
Three random facts about you: I'm six feet tall. I like carrot cake. The first trimester of pregnancy is tiring #whatashock.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? Hmm. Maybe the Marquis de Lafayette, he seems like a sweetheart.
Anything else you'd like to share? Best wishes to everybody!

Date: 2012-08-20 04:35 pm (UTC)Favourite movie: Lawrence of Arabia
OMGS, I should really re-read/re-watch these. I loved them the first time around and for the life of me I don't know why I didn't go back.

Date: 2012-08-20 04:37 pm (UTC)Name/Callsign: I go by N, but call me winegums
Age/Location (if you want): 27
When did you start watching BSG? Sometime in 2006 after Joss Whedon sang its praises
Why do you ship K/L? Short version: because they're like no other fictional couple I've ever seen, before or since.
Long, trivia-based, angst-free version: here (http://winegums.livejournal.com/14077.html)
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Bill and Laura, because, well, canon. And they're great together.
How did you find this comm? via another comm, and I'm here since it's the most active BSG shipper comm on lj and I like talking to people.
Favorite character(s): Apart from Lee and Kara? Felix Gaeta (poor, poor bb) and Kendra Shaw.
Least favourite character(s) bloody Cavill. Having to watch him through the rewatch is a new form of torment, given how much time I spend wishing he and his existential/mommy issues would go die in a fire.
Favourite episode: Every episode with a decent amount of pilots in it.
Favourite scene: You can't make me choose! (if I had to, it would be every pilotscene ever but my broken heart has a special soft spot for the scene under the wing in Maelstrom)
Favourite eyefrak: All of them? I love the playful ones in Final Cut and Flight of the Phoenix, the knicker-scorchingly intense ones in Unfinished Business, the ones when they first met in Daybreak....can't choose!
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Tie between The Captain's Hand, the Six of One brig scene, and Lee's return from the dead in the miniseries
Favourite pilotkiss: Possibly the Six of One brig kiss, but it's a pity this is only an outtake from Scar
Favourite Lee!Hair: Short, with that little ducks'-arse tuft sticking up in front
Favourite Kara!Hair: The season 2 ponytail, Unfinished Business flashbacks and Season 3 post-chopping-with-knife.
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I've written the odd drabble here and there, but meta and squee are what I am best for because I like to overthink things a LOT.
Other fandoms: Harry Potter, Buffy, Firefly, the odd anime/kdrama, and most recently The Avengers movieverse.
Favourite book: The War of the End of the World by Mario Vargas Llosa.
Favourite movie: Keeps changing, but for the last year Attack The Block has held steady at #1.
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Sherlock
Favourite tv show(completed): apart from BSG? That would be Blackadder or Firefly.
What do you post on your journal? nothing much, mostly the odd bit of fannish stuff when I feel like it.
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 get to know people properly? Friend away, I like it :)
Three random facts about you:
1. My favourite sweets were wine gums (hence the username).
2. One of my feet is bigger than the other.
3. I have a crazy lot of nicknames. I don't think anyone I spend time with on a regular basis has called me by the name on my birth certificate in years.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? Joss Whedon or J.K. Rowling.
Anything else you'd like to share? Thank you everyone for doing this!

I vote for rewatching everything Felix related 2 times and skipping the Cavil parts. What do you think?
I don't think anyone I spend time with on a regular basis has called me by the name on my birth certificate in years.
Not even at work? That's so coool. Hmmm... I should train my kids to use one of my nicknames instead of the all so weird "Madam" or the annoying "Professor" - especially if they use "Miss" before.
and most recently The Avengers movieverse.
we should really speak about this sometime.

When did you start watching BSG? February 2009
Why do you ship K/L? Because they hit everything right for me. (There is a longer point by point explanation which I’m more than happy to share if you ask nicely.)
Do you ship anyone else in the show? when I was watching, no, not at all, even the couples I knew were inevitable. Now, I also ship Bill/Saul.
How did you find this comm? I don’t remember now.
Favorite character(s): Lee, Kara, Leoben
Least favourite character(s) I feel like there’s a million of them this morning but all with a long explanation so… ask.
Favourite episode: Acts of Contrition/You Can’t Go Home Again
Favourite scene: the boxing in UB
Favourite eyefrak: Lee coming back from the dead in the mini
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Captain’s Hand
Favourite pilotkiss: the brig scene in Six of One
Favourite Lee!Hair: S2
Favourite Kara!Hair: S2, although I have a soft spot for the mini chip job because it’s so Kara and so gloriously different from most TV starlets. If Kara had started with her S4 hair I probably wouldn’t have liked her so much.
Favourite pilotfic: All That Matter by
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). fic
Other fandoms: not really. Dublin Murder Squad, Longmire

List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like ask me.
Three random facts about you: I’m a stay at home mom with 3 kids. I’m currently writing a murder mystery which is kicking my ass – in a good way – because my mind does not work that way. I prefer cookie dough to actual cookies.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? Honestly, no clue.
Anything else you'd like to share? no.
no subject
Date: 2012-08-20 05:07 pm (UTC)I know, it's so very Kara, that hacked-up bowl cut. Sure, she looks like an urchin, but it suited her character as we were introduced to her.
And I wish the Dublin Murder Squad fandom was a bit larger, it's unfair that all the best popular (i.e. non-literary) fiction has such tiny fandoms.

Date: 2012-08-20 08:49 pm (UTC)Age/Location (if you want):Rio de Janeiro.
When did you start watching BSG?2010, I guess.
Why do you ship K/L? Too difficult to summarize. They are so complex as individuals and so challenging as a couple. Yet, they ways they complement and challenge each other and their chemistry just makes them perfect for each other.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not really. Although there are some pairings I like (like Roslin and Adama), but I don't think much about them to say I ship them.
How did you find this comm?Through Google, looking for fic recs.
Favorite character(s): Lee Adama. Followed by Kara and Bill.
Least favourite character(s) Baltar, Six and Leoben.
Favourite episode: It varies from day to day, but mostly Unfinished Business.
Favourite scene: It varies. I guess the hallway scene. "I'm Lee, you're Kara"...
Favourite eyefrak: I don't know.
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Can't remember the name of the episode. When they are ordered to kill Cain and Lee talks to Kara about trust.
Favourite pilotkiss: It's a tie between the hallway kiss and the brig.
Favourite Lee!Hair: I don't like his hair in the mini. I prefer it a little longer.
Favourite Kara!Hair: I like it short. But not the cut we saw in the mini, either.
Favourite pilotfic:
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc).
Other fandoms:The X-files.
Favourite book:I can't pick just one.
Favourite movie:I can't pick just one.
Favourite tv show (currently airing):I'm not watching a lot of TV nowadays, so I guess it's still The Good Wife and The Big Bang Theory.
Favourite tv show(completed):Probably The X-files, because it was the only show before BSG that led me to search fic.
What do you post on your journal? Hee. Almost nothing? I'm not a writer. I'm a very private person. And I usually don't think people would care for what goes on my mind.*shrugs*
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 get to know people properly? Sure, strangely, I like to know what is going on other people's minds. LOL.

When did you start watching BSG? not quite two years ago!
Why do you ship K/L? because angst is my crack? i'm not articulate enough for a better answer right now :)
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Oh...I get more into characters than pairings. So, Leoben, Caprica, sixes, twos, occasionally Boomer and Helo and Ellen and Sam...
How did you find this comm? I posted a story and someone pointed me in the right direction!
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? fic!
Other fandoms: nothing active at the moment, though I'm lurking in Avengers territory
Favourite book: Year of the Flood, at least this week :)

When did you start watching BSG? September 2009
Why do you ship K/L? Probably mostly because they didn't get what they deserved after all of their emotional investment over the course of the show. I completely believe they deserved a chance to be happy together.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Bill/Saul and Zarek/Meier
How did you find this comm? Don't remember
Favorite character(s):Lee, Lee, Lee, Kara, Saul, Bill
Least favourite character(s) Gaius and sadly Laura. I used to enjoy Laura a lot and even shipped her a little with Lee, but IDK. Something happened. :(
Favourite episode: UBEX, Captain's Hand, Scar
Favourite scene: Brig and Are You Okay?
Favourite eyefrak: Miniseries
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Brig
Favourite pilotkiss: Brig
Favourite Lee!Hair: Black Market GUH
Favourite Kara!Hair: Someone to Watch Over Me
Favourite pilotfic: Hmm. I've probably read Pierian Spring by KAG523 the most, but I generally love certain scenes in lots of fics that I read over and over again.
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). Writing, reading, other things. My prefs change over time. Now, not much at all bc I'm super busy in RL.

Why do you ship K/L? They hit all my kinks when it comes to shipping.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not really. I used to like Adama/Roslin but their behavior in S4 disappointed me.
How did you find this comm? Well, I am actually one of the founders, back when the community was a rewatch comm.
Favorite character(s): Kara will always be my favorite, but I adore Lee too.
Least favourite character(s) Cavil. Also, Sam (it’s not his fault –though that type of male characters and what they represent tend to rub me the wrong way--, but S4 made me bitter).
Favourite episode: “Unfinished Business”. That’s my favorite episode of anything ever <3
Favourite scene: That’s tough, but probably the “Six of One” brig scene. Also, the near frak in "Scar", all the angst there kills me.
Favourite eyefrak: All the eyefrakking in "Unfinished Business".
Favourite handclasp/handshake: "The Captain's Hand" (this is also one of my favorite eps).
Favourite pilotkiss: A tie between the “Eye of Jupiter” and “Six of One”.
Favourite Lee!Hair: Short, always, lol. His hair in “Home”, probably (and the scruff looks so good on him!).
Favourite Kara!Hair: Her short cut with bangs in UB. Very Starbuck, I love it. I am also a huge fan of her messy ponytail in “Home”.
Favourite pilotfic: It’s hard to choose because there are so many talented writers in this fandom, but probably Aerilon Girls Are Easy (http://flowrs4ophelia.livejournal.com/113085.html) by
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I used to read a lot of fic (and now I am trying to catch up because I have a lot of stuff bookmarked). And I’ve always been a sucker for meta. I always enjoy a good fanmix, too. But I just love to hang around and chat with my fellow K/L shippers (who also happen to share similar interests to mine!).
Other fandoms: BSG is my one true fandom. But I also enjoy (though I don’t feel particularly fannish about) stuff like Fringe (though after this season I’ll keep watching but I fear I am done with it), Misfits (same), The Good Wife, Justified, Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, Longmire. I am marathoning Southland now and loving the hell out of it. I also love other miscellaneous stuff like GRR Martin’s ASOIAF (the books mostly, though I like the TV show), Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad (<3) or some manga (particularly Ai Yazawa’s stuff).
Favourite book: Currently, In the Woods by Tana French (and also The Likeness, though ITW remains my fave). But some of my all time favorites are the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons, Tokyo Blues by Haruki Murakami or Storm of Swords by GRR Martin.
Favourite movie: I don’t have one, but I love “Moulin Rouge”, “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Before Sunrise/Before Sunset”, “Gattaca”, “Fight Club”, “American History X"... So many!
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Last year I might have said “The Good Wife” (I still love it), but right now it’s “Homeland”, I think.
Favourite tv show(completed): BSG.

List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like @cosetteferaud on twitter.
Three random facts about you: 1. I am very wordy, lol. 2. I look younger than I am (or that’s what people keep telling me! :D). 3. I am going on vacation tomorrow! Yay!
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? Geez! No idea!
Anything else you'd like to share? I just read that Katee and Jamie are scheduled to appear together at three panels at D*C. OMG, OMG. They are going to break my heart, I know (all of you going, I hope to see a report or something, pretty please?)

When did you start watching BSG? Somewhere between 2 and 3 years ago, but definitely not while it was airing.
Why do you ship K/L? Because they are the most of everything to each other. Because they show all sorts of emotion in the tiniest things. Because they make me feel all the things, and no one could ever replace them.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not really. There are some canon pairings that I like/am OK with (like Roslin/Adama), but definitely not on the same level as pilots.
How did you find this comm?
Favorite character(s): Lee, Kara, Kendra
Least favourite character(s) Cavil.
Favourite episode: 33, UB, Act of Contrition/YCGHA
Favourite scene: It changes from week to week... maybe the brig scene this week?
Favourite eyefrak: All of them! (Is that a valid answer?)
Favourite handclasp/handshake: Either Captain's Hand or the Miniseries.
Favourite pilotkiss: The brig scene, definitely.
Favourite Lee!Hair: Hmmm... I think S1/S2 were the best seasons hair-wise for Lee. Picture evidence is always better, so:
Favourite Kara!Hair: I like both the bob Kara had in S1:
as well as the short ponytail she has in S2. (The Home arc comes to mind.):
Favourite pilotfic: I honestly have no clue. There's so much talent in this fandom, I can't pick!
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I think I spend the most time reading, but when I'm in the creating mood, I usually make icons and graphics. I have been known to write the occasional drabble or ficlet, though. Oh, and I love to chat/squee with other pilot fans about... anything, really!
Other fandoms: The Avengers is my vacation home right now, but BSG (and pilots) will always be my true home.
Favourite book: Pride and Prejudice
Favourite movie: The Princess Bride
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Longmire, maybe? Or Supernatural.
Favourite tv show(completed): Too many to choose one!
What do you post on your journal? Not much, actually... icons, graphics, and fic when I make/write them, sometimes memes.
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 get to know people properly? I'm pretty open to new friends!

When did you start watching BSG? the miniseries!
Why do you ship K/L? Because I love competency!porn, being friends first, and pilots!
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Nope
How did you find this comm? Came back to BSG once I could be coherent about the pouf and not scream and saw this lovely group had formed
Favorite character(s): Lee
Least favourite character(s) Hmmm, Dualla (such a social-climbing weak person!)
Favourite episode: Final cut
Favourite scene: The Scar toasting scene
Favourite Lee!Hair: miniseries
Favourite Kara!Hair: her return from Caprica
Favourite pilotfic: long stuff!
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I just read...
Other fandoms: Stargate
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Longmire, Treme, Sherlock, Downton Abbey
Favourite tv show(completed): The Wire, Alias
What do you post on your journal? Nothing so I don't violate my employment agreement. I love my job, but I can't have a public online presence. :-(
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 get to know people properly? I pretty much friends anyone I want to read, but don't expect anything in your feed due to the above. I'll comment and reply to my friends' journals.
Three random facts about you: My icon is my dog, Bristow, who is the cutest Bichon Frise EVER, I work WAY too much (60 hours is a light week) and am in grad school so I'm sadly hard-pressed to keep up with fandom, and I love gardening - I have a small vegetable garden and woodland glade, but my mom has two acres of vegetable boxes, fruit trees, and garden I help her with... Lots of work!

Date: 2012-08-21 10:52 am (UTC)Your job must be super strict, not letting you have a public online presence at all, do they even include locked journals that you don't use your/anyone else's real names in? :(

When did you start watching BSG? I think it was when S3 was starting to air.
Why do you ship K/L? They are gloriously complicated.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Not to the same level of enthusiasm. I like Caprica/Gaius and Boomer/Chief.
How did you find this comm? When it was promoted around back when it first started.
Favorite character(s): Starbuck, Apollo, Baltar
Least favourite character(s) Cally
Favourite episode: "Home"
Favourite scene: The beginning of "Home Pt. 1"
Favourite eyefrak: The I-thought-you-were-dead eyefrak in the pilot :D
Favourite handclasp/handshake: I like the one in "Captain's Hand" because it leads to hugging.
Favourite pilotkiss: The brig kiss. Maybe.
Favourite Lee!Hair: I liked it when he first started letting it grow out.
Favourite Kara!Hair: Circa "Unfinished Business"
Favourite pilotfic: Aerilon Girls Are Easy (http://flowrs4ophelia.livejournal.com/tag/bsg%3A%20aerilon%20girls%20are%20easy)
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). I admit I've generally been lax on the reading and writing, but I like it all, especially discussion.
Other fandoms: Star Trek (reboot mainly, but I like it all), Dublin Murder Squad books, Tiger & Bunny, Harry Potter, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (the book, don't care much for the movie), Supernatural
Favourite book: In the Woods, Neverwhere, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Catcher in the Rye
Favourite movie: Slumdog Millionaire, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Edward Scissorhands, Billy Elliot...
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Mad Men
Favourite tv show(completed): I'm not done with it yet, but I'm really enjoying Lost.
What do you post on your journal? Mix of RL stuff and fandom stuff (fanfic, fanmixes, meta)
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 get to know people properly? I'm pretty open.
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like IM: Aspartame33 (if you don't greet me right off the bat with who you are though, I may end up ignoring you just cause I get so many spammers)
Three random facts about you: I'm working on a fantasy novel, I live with two cats, and I sorta play piano.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? I'm answering this question on the fly, but I feel like I could have a very enjoyable conversation with Stan Lee.

Age/Location: Australian
When did you start watching BSG? Started and finished in January this year, so I am incredibly grateful to find people still talking about pilots! I'm supernew around these LJ parts, it's all new ground for me discussion-wise and I don't want to be annoying and make people cover old ground... but if you DO want to cover old ground, I'm your girl.
Why do you ship K/L? Because I cannot understand how it is humanly possible not to? I mean... LOOK AT THEM.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Nope. Happy for Adama and Roslin, yay Helo/Athena, whatever. But ship? No. Not enough shipper energy left after the emotional investment in K/L.
How did you find this comm? workerbee73 sent me (thankyou Bee!)
Favorite character(s): Lee and Kara (obvs)
Least favourite character(s) I loved Laura in the beginning, but by the end.... not so much. I'm still a bit sad about that. But who am I kidding... for the shipper in me? Sam.
Favourite episode: Hard to say, but probably Unfinished Business (the original version)
Least-favourite episode: Unfinished Business (the extended version)
Favourite scene: Too hard, too many. Today? Kara comes back from Caprica with the Arrow of Apollo.
Favourite eyefrak: Miniseries - Lee back from the dead
Favourite pilotkiss: Brig? Even though it kills me to rewatch now given how it's all gunna end... Kills me. Damn you Ron Moore.
Favourite Lee!Hair: Short. Definitely short.
Favourite Kara!Hair: Season 2 ponytail.
Favourite pilotfic: CAVEPILOTS!! Stumbling across that (thankyou google) is the whole reason I have an LJ at all. It and Bee were my introduction to fandom and my recovery program post-*poof*. I'll love Cavepilots forever.
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into...? Reading. Way too intimidated (and uncreative) to even contemplate writing anything. Talking/meta though. I'll talk til the cows come home if you want me to ;)
Other fandoms: The only fandom I'm remotely active in is Avengers C/N (again, thankyou Bee ;P). But I love many and sundry things, including West Wing, Community, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and, I think, The Newsroom. Jury's still out, but I think it's winning me over.
What do you post on your journal? I'm still working that out. So far it's been a combination of vent and fic. And I'm as surprised as anyone that the fic happened...
Are you open to adding new friends to your FList? My attitude so far is pretty much 'I'll friend all the people who want to be friends'. Come on down!
Three random facts about you: I've moved 13 times in the past five years. I lived in France for a while and speak French (increasingly badly. Sigh.) I started my dream job four months ago, so I don't think I'll be moving again for a while :)
Anything else you'd like to share? Just that you guys rock :)

Date: 2012-08-21 10:40 am (UTC)I actually really feel your answers about the shipping of other couples and UB. I know I said I ship Adama/Roslin, but by my normal Shipper Standards they don't quite qualify. And Unfinished Business extended spends a bit too much time on people who aren't Lee and Kara for me to really like it/is kind of heavy-handed, though I love it for the (very little) extra pilots that we do get. Maybe someone should take the two versions and make sure we get the 'I love you's and all the pilotstuff from UBEX, but keep the focus on pilots properly like UB did, I would like that.
And 13 times in five years? That's a lot of times to move, it sounds kind of awesome (if a little hectic), lol.

When did you start watching BSG? sometime while the last half of s4 was airing, but I rewatched it start to finish this winter and got hooked.
Why do you ship K/L? because they're messy, complicated, and full of contradictions, but deep down they both realize how much they love and need each other, even just as a friend when they're not together.
Do you ship anyone else in the show? Kara and her Viper? lol. Not really, but I like to root for Helo/Athena.
How did you find this comm? frenzied multi-tabbed link hopping. And a reference in somebody's fic notes, I think.
Favorite character(s): Kara, Athena
Least favourite character(s) Zarek
Favourite episode: I can only pick one? ;) Okay, all of them except Daybreak.
Favourite scene: More like a bunch of scenes cut together - the teaser for KLG1, where Adama accuses Lee of not losing control, then we cut to Kara, well, losing control... which makes the scene in the hanger later all the more angsty because it shows Kara really being the only one who can get so far under Lee's skin that he does lose it.
Favourite eyefrak:
Favourite handclasp/handshake: in the boxing ring in UB. That counts, right?
Favourite pilotkiss: All of them!
Favourite Lee!Hair: I don't have much opinion on hair. sorry.
Favourite Kara!Hair:
Favourite pilotfic: I've read so much in the last couple of months it's hard to pick.
When it comes to pilots fandom, are you more into (reading or writing) fic, meta, or just plain squee? Or do you prefer other fanworks for them (fanmixes, graphics etc). Reading mostly, writing a bit (more now that I've got my feet wet)
Other fandoms: Fringe, Stargate
Favourite book: Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Favourite movie: This week? Rango
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Fringe, Longmire
Favourite tv show(completed): BSG, anything in the Stargate franchise, Sports Night
What do you post on your journal? Mostly fic and photos I've taken. Some book or tv reviews.
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 get to know people properly? Sure.
List your Twitter and chat (AIM, gChat, Yahoo) if you'd like
Three random facts about you: I play ice hockey but not at the competitive level anymore, I taught myself to knit this past winter and am working on a sweater now, I have a fleet of robot vacuum cleaners that I fear are going to mutiny one day soon.
If you could meet any person (dead, alive, real, fictional, apart from pilots of course) who would you choose? not really. I'm shy that way.
