Two 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?

Well, Apollo is the god of light and music, yeah? And when I see Lee, well, I see lights and hear music. XD

I mean, just check out this space hottie:





Is it bright in here? Beethoven's 9th, anyone?

ETA: I have no fanon for Kara's callsign. I appreciated baciami2's thoughts about star pirates-- I can see Kara being so fantastically good that they said she was stealing stars.

Also, BSG is the first fandom that I've actually participated in. I've written fic for other fandoms that will never see the light of day, but BSG was the first that got me actively involved with a community of fans.

OMGs, thissssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Plus, I never cease to be amazed how incredibly Phallic this pic is of Lee - long cigar, about to be lit by a big flame, that bottle, where he's holding it against his body, how he's holding it, the Size *wiggles eyebrows*. No wonder James McAvoy got all tongue-tied when he got an award from "The CAG."
