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?

#2 BSG is my first (and last) fandom. It only got elevated from "great show" to "all consuming passion/fanfic? what's fanfic?/ squeeeeeeeeeeee" because of Kara & Lee. After all the pain and disappointment, I couldn't do it again. Just....can't....trust....those frakin showrunner no mo'.
