no_takebacksTwo questions today:
1. What's your personal fanon for how Starbuck and Apollo got their callsigns? There's no official reason given in the show (I'm told Kara's is explained in one of the comics, which I have but haven't read yet, but having read most of the comics, I'm rather loathe to count them as any kind of canon) but there has to be a reason she came out Starbuck and he Apollo. (Because there were characters with those names in the original is NOT a valid reason)
2. What advice would you give to a person for whom BSG was her/his first "real" fandom? How would you explain fandom to a newbie?

Starbuck... I dunno. Much ahrder name to come up with.

Well, I guess it's my first fandom, so I'm not sure what to say. I guess if it feels like an addictiona dn you can't stop being obsessed then you're probably well on your way to being a fanperson. : )
