Welcome to this week's DPP, everyone!

Name/Callsign: sci_fi_shipper
Age/Location (if you want): 40+ Eastern Time Zone
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.

Other fandoms:
Favourite book: Dune
Favourite movie: Currently, Office Space. I need the laughs.
Favourite tv show (currently airing): Tie btw Homeland and SOA
Favourite tv show(completed): BSG (Buffy, X-Files)

re: why we ship K/L, I think the fact that they got cosmically screwed over is a huge part of why many of us aren't so good at letting them go - it's hard not to seek out alternative happy endings for them when canon is all 'none for you'.

Homeland is really so good, I had no idea Damian Lewis was another secret Brit until I went to wikipedia and found he'd been to Eton of all places.

Oh my goodness - scuse my butting in, but Laura! Yes! I feel the same way. By the end she was just sort of.... I dunno. But I completely agree. So, y'know, hello and glad it's not just me!
