Happy Monday Shipper Nation!! I'm Liz and I'm excited to be your DPP driver this week. I've got games, memes, ficlets, and other goodies planned so I hope you'll drop by throughout the week.

First, a huge shout-out to [livejournal.com profile] sci_fi_shipper for an amazing week full of insightful discussion, gorgeous and adorable artwork and scenarios for happy pilots, comment!fic, pilots playlists, and loads of fun!! Great work, hon!!

And now, I'd like to introduce the Return of the Friending Meme!!


[livejournal.com profile] shah_of_blah had a lovely idea about two months ago to host a "friending meme" DPP. During my time in K/L fandom, I've been continually impressed by how wonderfully kind and supportive everyone here has been. It's an absolute pleasure to be part of this community. When I saw Shah's meme, I thought to myself that we should really do that on a regular basis to renew old friendships, get to know more about one another, and welcome newcomers to the community. I've also been chatting with some new (to me) people recently and realized that a number of you aren't on my flist. This problem must be rectified!!

In that spirit, I've put together some "getting to know you questions" so we all can introduce or reintroduce ourselves. I encourage using this opportunity to add fellow shippers to your flists. (p.s.--You'll notice I've tried to make the questions short and sweet (when vs. why, etc.) since we've had many discussions of why we're here or why K/L is our OTP. While you are certainly welcome to include that info, I am hoping the quick answer format will encourage participation...and friending...of old, middle, and new guard shippers since posting should be a quick, painless five minutes.

The questions:
1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
2. When did you start watching bsg?
3. When did you enter fandom?
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

Now, go on, friend, chatter, and be merry!!

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
ninjamonkey73, callsign Blackbird, many humans call me Amy
2. When did you start watching bsg?
New Years Eve (2009/2010)
3. When did you enter fandom?
March 2010
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
It's not my first internet fandom (Star Trek: Voyager REPRESENT!), and not my only at the moment (Castle), although it IS the only one I actively participate in.
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Um, write p0rn and post it on the internet?
6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
My current project is not fandom related, actually, although the fandom (and fandom writers) have helped inspire me to get back to writing the original novel I started 13 years ago. If I get a draft finished by the end of this year like I want to, I might write a Lee/Kara kink where Lee is the Dominant. But stopping what I'm working on would be wrong. I will NOT switch to writing kink instead. I *promised* myself I'd finish this long-dormant, 13 year writing project. Really. Can't change gears right now. (Have I convinced me yet?)
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.
The mini, Colonial Day/KLG I, Pegasus (for plot bunny reasons that may some day become apparent - they are, after all, not reporting to each other for about 5 minutes here), Scar, and Unfinished Business.
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
I write medical software, mother a 5 year old girl, write things that aren't K/L p0rn, watch football, and my new obsession - canning things (after a few successful years of grape jam from grapes out of my husband's grandmother's yard, I canned apple butter this weekend. I feel all "Little House on the Prairie," yo).

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
swamp_ariadne, callsign is SwampOphelia. you can call me Swamp.
2. When did you start watching bsg?
Season 1, Way back in 2004
3. When did you enter fandom?
From the start, I've always like Kara and Lee
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
Multi-fandom. I didn't even know the words fandom or shipping and all that until this year when i realized that there was such a thing as fanfic.
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Uhhh, write fanfic? I never thought I'd write porn!fic (and I don't do it for this fandom). Writing for this fandom is too intimidating.
6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Mostly Smut week in the Dom/Ariadne ship comm. Actually, since it's the smallest ship comm in the whole Inception fandom, I advertise everywhere. Especially since in my head I see the Lee/Kara/Zak parallel with Ariadne/Dom/Mal. The Kara/Dom hangups with dead people just scream at me.
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.
Unfinished Business/Quadrangle of Doom arc, 33, Islanded in a Stream of Stars, Scar, Colonial Day
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
Obsessing over other doomed ships. Maybe that's why my callsign is Ophelia. my ships drown in the swamp. :(

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.

[livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns; I'd never have a callsign because I'd flunk out of flight school on day one :P; and you can call me QoT or Thorny!

2. When did you start watching bsg?
I watched the miniseries two days before "33" aired (I'd seen all the posters advertising the beginning of this new show and I was very intrigued by the Lee/Kara ones because I knew and loved Jamie Bamber from "Horatio Hornblower." And then I watched the miniseries and it was love at first sight (for the show and for Lee and Kara!)

3. When did you enter fandom?
Basically right after watching the first couple of episodes. I held out for the SciFi versions until "Bastille Day" and then right after "Act of Contrition" aired in the US, I couldn't wait any longer and had to download the entire season from the airings on Sky in England (the first season aired there first) and then I friended all sorts of BSG people, etc., etc. I think I wrote my first "Leecap" and first fic in February 2005. So I consider that my debut!


4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
No, I loved "Buffy" and "Angel" (though I didn't really write fic for them, but BOY did I discussdiscussdiscuss!) And I loved and wrote fic for the "Lord of the Rings" movies and I adore George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" books (from which I took my username!) Since BSG I've also been obsessed with HBO's "Rome" and "The Wire" (though I'm not FANDOM-Y per se there) and "Friday Night Lights."

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?

Yes, I have made icons and learned how to embed videos, but most of all, I never thought I'd write fiction of any kind. Also, I coined some fandom terms that are still popular, so I rejoice everytime anyone mentions the Bamceps. I wish more people would use "eyemoting" for Tigh, though, because I'm really proud of that one :P

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Right now I'm working on what turned into an enormously long "five things" fic from Kara's POV (in which I'm spinning my own take on *poofs* and other things. Heh!)

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

OH THIS IS HARD! OK, I'd take "33", "Hand of God", the Pegasus arc, "Scar", "The Captain's Hand", and "Unfinished Business", I think. And maybe I'd sneak in "Maelstrom" too :P (Although I'd also love to add the miniseries, I've seen it so many times I can practically recite the dialogue in my head anyway.) ETA: So ... my degrees are in economics, but I obviously cannot count. I also can't limit myself to five BSG episodes apparently!

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

Heh! I obsess about other things :D (Well, mostly I play with and talk about my almost-three-year-old son, who is the most amazing chid in the universe. :P Well, I think so, anyway!)

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.

delle.

2. When did you start watching bsg?

let me count back.... I went to Dragon*Con 2007 with a friend that had already babbled on about this great reboot of the old series. Having no other panels to interest me, I attended all the BSG panels. And then got Jamie Bamber's autograph for my daughter's birthday. So having been introduced to this interested cast and gorgeous man in particular, I decided to try the show and ordered the first season/miniseries for christmas. Husband and I devoured it in days and then hurriedly ordered season 2. That's when we realized we were hooked.

3. When did you enter fandom?

oh, right after finished Season 1. so that would be about January, 2008

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?

I tend to be serial-monogamous. So when I'm in a particular fandom, that's the fandom I write in. BSG isn't my first (nor my last), but when it was IT, it was IT.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?


In BSG fandom or fandom in general? My best friends - there are 6 of us - were all met thru internet fandom. I've known them for 10 years now. Fandom (general fandom) got me to write again.

For BSG - well, I've always been as interested or more interested in the production people as the actors for a show. However, my 50th birthday present (from the above-mentioned best friends) was a photo op and autographed picture with Mary. I treasure it.

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?

No stories near completion at this time. And my costuming creating is connected with a different fandom.

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

Minseries, 33, Hand of God, the mutiny arc, Eye of Jupiter, Scar

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

Ha. Work. Sew. Write.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called. Shah of Blah, Callsign Sunshine.
2. When did you start watching bsg? early 2007, around the end of season three I think.
3. When did you enter fandom? Lurked around LJ for a bit and posted on FFN before getting an lj on January 1, 2008.
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? My first fandom was Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other Jossverse creations. I sort of have other fandoms now (Doctor Who, for instance) but nothing on the scale of BSG.
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples? Uh, no...
6. Any current projects you want to advertise? Not as yet.
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier. You Can't Go Home Again, Kobol's Last Gleaming, Home, Pegasus/Resurrection Ship, and The Captain's Hand.
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L? I am a college student. I do college-y things. I write original fiction.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called. I haven’t gotten a call sign for you guys. We actually gave call signs to the entire famly before I ever even heard of this site. Mine is actually Fudgcicle because I eat a box of fudgcicles pretty much daily. I need my chocolate.
2. When did you start watching bsg? We watched BSG in March of 2010…I’ve yet to decide if this was a good or bad thing.
3. When did you enter fandom? I was given a “BSG recovery kit”. In this kit were videos that I was instructed to watch as well as “required reading”. After reading the fictions, I was hopelessly addicted and at that point I was “lurking”. When Shah of Blah had her first friending meme, I came out of the closet and fell down the Rabbit Hole. I’m still stuck in the hole and my life hasn’t been the same since.
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? First and hopefully only EVER because it’s pretty consuming already. I wish that at some point I could just let it rest and put it behind me because there’s nothing worse than an obsession that has no resolution.
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples? Now don’t get mad here but I just assumed before I started reading all this stuff that fandom was a bunch of “losers” who had a tenuous hold on reality … at best. If that’s true, then I’m now one of them. HAHA. But really, I never would have dreamed that I would actually create a LJ account just to comment, start commenting about stuff to total strangers and even more absurdly, start email friendships with complete strangers and become good friends with them. I’ve been sucked into Twitter and if I didn’t have people grounding me around here, I would think I had entered THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
6. Any current projects you want to advertise? Yep, here’s the craziest thing of all. I have been threatening to write a book for years (even though I’m not a writer) and had even started making a list of topics this summer. One of you guys, who shall remain nameless, NAZKEY, encouraged me to start writing on my blog again and now I’m writing and publishing daily on ALL FOOKED UP. You guys can see the posts here as well but that’s my main site. Here’s the address: http://allfookedup.blogspot.com
I never would have taken the plunge without entering the BSG universe so Kudos to you guys.
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier. Unfinished Business, Scar, Mini-series, 33 and whatever one that Brig scene is in.
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L? I have three kids who seem to require attention even though they are old enough to forage by themselves. I paint, I sculpt and now apparently I write. I also read and spend my life in a narcissistic haze. That about covers it.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
[livejournal.com profile] coffeesuperhero, callsign Stiletto (because Bee and Kiki are fabulous).

2. When did you start watching bsg?
I came into the show way late-- didn't pick it up until just before season 4.5 started up. We marathoned the whole thing to catch up before 4.5 aired. COULD. NOT. STOP. WATCHING.

3. When did you enter fandom?
Fairly immediately? But the A/R side. Didn't find you lovely folks until well after the finale.

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
Multi-fandom! BSG is the fandom I've ever done anything other than lurk in, though. I used to read XF and SW fic back in the day, but I never participated in the fandoms.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Oh yeah. I wrote porn. And then I wrote more porn. I (very occasionally!) tuned out my profs during class to write fic. I have learned (and am still learning) to make icons, wallpapers, vids, banners, macros, and the internet in general.

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Lord no. :P Well, I am doing a Kara vidlet for [livejournal.com profile] daybreak777's mini-vidlet-a-thon, and I'm so frakking excited to be vidding again (and vidding Kara, which is one of my favorite things to do, even if it makes my heart ache a little from missing her). I can't quite get a handle on how I want this vid to go down, but I hope it all works out for the best! And as soon as frakking Big Bang is posted and I can stop fretting over it and editing things, I've got a laundry list of fic to start and finish, including but not limited to: massive crossover multifandom Kara-centric fic, some K/L D/s AU, aaaaaaaaaaand the next chapter (FRAKKING FINALLY) of the Adama Brothers, which I SWEAR I have not forgotten about. Oh, and a sequel to The Forbidden Zone, wherein (SPOILER ALERT) HorrorPunk!Zak breaks up with HorrorPunk!Kara when he meets Steampunk!Dee at Dragon*Con, which turns out to be just fine with Kara since she's really got a thing for Lee. (Obvs.)

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
Go to law school and daydream of throwing caution to the wind and opening a restaurant instead of being an attorney. (I love food so much more than the law.) Lately I've been going to concerts every weekend, which has been fab. I also watch a lot of television, though not necessarily shows that are currently airing. I've been on a mad Criminal Minds kick recently and it's renewed my childhood love of Mandy Patinkin, so I'm thinking of doing a Chicago Hope rewatch. Maybe some Sunday in the Park with George. Idk. It's my fannish obsession of the moment. My fickle heart always returns to Lee Adama, though.

Part 1

Date: 2010-09-27 06:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] amidala-thrace.livejournal.com
I rambled like crazy again, eep, so this is in two parts.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
Official username is [livejournal.com profile] amidala_thrace (for the two characters who got me into Star Wars and BSG, respectively), but most folks call me Liz.

2. When did you start watching BSG?
I got hooked in November 2007, and started poking around in the fandom shortly thereafter, although I was quite intimidated at first and mostly lurked. (I think I was taking my cues from Star Wars, which unfortunately is not one of the most welcoming fandoms on earth. Thankfully, BSG fandom is almost completely the opposite, at least in my experience!)

3. When did you enter fandom?
As I said, I mostly lurked until about January '08, partly because I hadn't seen the whole series yet and didn't want to be spoiled. I caught up the week before Season 4.0 came out, and I wrote several short fics at that point, which were so horrifyingly bad that they will never ever see the light of day. ;) I think I started actually posting fic in February, and being a multishipper, I dabbled with writing both my main pairings. The rest is pretty much history!

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
Oh, I am definitely a multifandom girl, although lately it seems like I can only focus on one fandom, that being BSG. Silly brain. ;) But as I alluded to above, my first foray into online fandom was actually through the Star Wars fandom, and I was a pretty prolific fanfic writer there by the time I found BSG. (I have other fandoms too, such as Six Feet Under and True Blood - I am an incurable Alan Ball fanatic - but I don't write for those.) I'm also a multishipper, and proud of it too! ;P In BSG my main ships are Kara/Lee and Kara/Sam, while in SW I ship Obi-Wan/Padmé and Anakin/Padmé (with a little Anakin/Obi-Wan on the side).

Part 2

From: [identity profile] amidala-thrace.livejournal.com
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Well, I think me jetting down to Atlanta for Dragon*Con 2010 on a total unplanned impulse is a pretty good example! ;) I almost never do stuff like that, but in this case I'm SO glad I did, because I had an awesome time. :D Overall, though, I think fandom has made me a stronger person and a better writer, more able to take criticism and to recognize when to accept that constructive criticism and when not to. It's taught me, in part, to stand up for what I believe in and not to be afraid to be a little different. Which of course are lessons that can nicely be applied to real life too!

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
I'm really kind of touchy about the self-promotion thing - as those who know me can attest! - but I guess I will mention that the major project I have going on in BSG fandom right now is a Kara/Lee longfic, entitled Insanity Underrated. I've been writing it since March 2009, and it is based on the premise that one different decision by one character at a particular time can end up having far-reaching consequences for both that character and the universe as a whole. In this case, Lee decides to visit Kara one night in sickbay after her rescue from the desert moon, and he takes her up on the bath request. I'm currently writing Chapter 68, and the fic is in mid-Season 3. I hope to have it finished completely by the end of this year. :)

Another shipper-related project, sort of, that I'm a part of is the new Lee icon stillness community, [livejournal.com profile] iconic_lee, which I co-mod with my accomplices [livejournal.com profile] stripes13 and [livejournal.com profile] sci_fi_shipper. The first challenge (http://community.livejournal.com/iconic_lee/2276.html) went up last night, and we heartily encourage Lee fans to head over and check it out!

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 BSG episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.
1. The Act of Contrition/You Can't Go Home Again arc
2. The Kara on Caprica arc
3. Unfinished Business
4. The Eye of Jupiter/Rapture arc
5. He That Believeth In Me/Six of One

(But really I think I'd try to smuggle all my DVD sets onto said desert island! XD)

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
In "real life", I am a journalist and senior subeditor at a small community newspaper, where I've worked since 2006. I live with three cats, Minnie, Misty and Sam (yes, he's named after one Samuel T. Anders) and I spend a ton of time in winter being a crazy hockey fan. :D

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
Damao2010. I guess I'm still a nugget so I don't have a callsign. LOL. I'm Claudia and it's been very nice to "meet" everyone here.

2. When did you start watching bsg?
Nov/Dec 2009

3. When did you enter fandom?
April, I guess.

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?

The X-files and Mulder/Scully were my first serious fandom/ship. I read tons of fic and lurked in a few forums. However, this is the first one I ever participated in. It's my second fandom. I'm very faithful to it. I guess that makes me some sort of serial monogamist.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Not yet. :)
I have been tempted to write something and even to learn how to make icons. I never thought I'd think of these things, so does it count?

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Not really. :(

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

The mini, KLG/Home arc, Scar, UB/UBEX, Six of One/Islanded (AKA, the-kisses-that-say-it-all arc). Well that was difficult. I might try to sneak a couple more in.

8. What do you do in the few that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

I teach history to 6th/9th graders. I read. I watch way too much TV and go to the movies. I ate far too much pizza and ice-cream.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called. I'm Rachel :)

2. When did you start watching bsg? Um, I don't entirely remember -- definitely months after it was off the air. I watched the first season of someone else's DVDs in a rush, and then didn't see any more until several months later, when I received the complete DVD collection as a gift.

3. When did you enter fandom? Oh, I lurked for a while and then started writing tiny fics and posting here sometime this last spring.

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? Many fandoms for me :) I've written fanfic for a grab-bag of other fictional universes, and I read fanfic in fandoms I've never written for myself. But BSG has definitely been the main one for quite a while, now. My fannish interest tends to go in phases, but for fandoms I really love, I always circle back to them again even after having been away for months or years. They hold a special place in my heart :)

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Not really?

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Sorry, nothing too exciting :)

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier. It's tough, but my desert island episodes would be:

Crossroads I and II
The Oath/Blood on the Scales
Revelations/Sometimes a Great Notion
Maelstrom
He That Believeth in Me/Six of One

This is a bit of an odd list since my favorite part of the series is actually Season 2. If I had to pick a season, that's the one I'd pick. But for stand-out powerful episodes I can enjoy watching all the way through repeatedly, I think those are the ones I'd choose.

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
Spend time with my husband. Watch old movies. Study. Sing Gilbert and Sullivan songs to myself.

my favorite part of the series is actually Season 2. Me too. I admit that I've only seen S3 & S4-4.5 once while I was going through the crazy marathon watching phase. I don't remember a lot of it, actually.

I AM A CRAZY MOFO AND THINK SNARK IS THE SHIT.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
pali167, Pali, Crack, bitch, slut, pigeon, best/favorite/most awesome person ever. You know, whatever.

2. When did you start watching bsg?
It was sometime during the midseason hiatus of S2. I mainlined the first season and got S2.0 for Christmas (haha, my family never saw me after that). I know I was done by the time Pegasus first aired. (Which was soooooo exciting, seriously.)

3. When did you enter fandom?
It was after Scar aired, and I started lurking in people's LJs (latte, wisteria, a few others). I got obsessed with LJ during S3 and stalked followed a bunch of other people, but it wasn't until really S4.5's "Faith" that I actually entered the fandom. (Hate is such a powerful motivator.)

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
While it was my first fandom, it's not the only one. Anyone who knows me knows I have become obsessed with Supernatural. Right now that is my primary fandom, although I am still a lurker there. I don't really watch a lot of shows anymore, so I don't really have any other fandoms. I had passing flings with shows like Bones, XF, Buffy/Angel, and Gossip Girl. But nothing concrete. However, if you're a fan of a show, chances are at some point I've seen an episode.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
Not particularly, except for maybe cons. And, y'know, getting off my ass and actually creating an LJ, and starting to comment on posts. The first few times are somewhat terrifying, but after that it's all old hat. Of course, then you get a new fandom and have to go through the process all over again.

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
Well, right now I'm working to free Willy from his evil captors in Springfield, Illinois (damn you, Homer!) who wish to destroy him, and also building robotic sheep to jump over my electric fence I've installed in my room in order to help me sleep. I'm also working on developing a hybrid involving Slim Jims and other assorted snacks. Another I'm considering is climbing a tree to steal a bird's eggs and replace them with colorful Easter eggs. But that seems like a bit too much work.

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

33
Scattered/Valley of Darkness
The Son Also Rises/Crossroads 1&2 (really just the stuff with Romo and the trial)
Revelations
Blood on the Scales

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
I obsess over SPN and Dean and Jared and boyyyyyyyys. Oh my god, there's this one guy on my floor who's ridiculously attractive and built jfc (martial arts black belt). He walks around shirtless ALL THE TIME and omg he TOTALLY knows what he does to all of us. Although he cut all his hair off the other day WOE D:

Oh, I also sometimes do schoolwork and hang out with friends. (Yesterday we gave a friend a bunch of balloons for her birthday. The bag advertised "fun shapes! kid-friendly!" and they ended up looking like dildos something very interesting.)

*coughs* was that inappropriate? Whatever, I don't care.

Also LJ ate my original comment (FU LJ!) so there was other stuff in there. I'm just too lazy to type it up again.

ETA: And I'm sorry, it wasn't Pegasus, but Resurrection Ship Part 1. Meaning... Holy crap Batman! That aired January 6, 2006. (I can't believe it's been that long. So... December-ish 2005. Hot damn.)

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called. Heather (the other Heather to some)

2. When did you start watching bsg? October 2009 when I was jobless and had recently left Brooklyn to move to my new, less glamorous city. It helped a lot and then totally depressed me.

3. When did you enter fandom? After I watched it a second time, just to be sure it was as awesome and depressing as I remembered. When I got to the end for the second time, I realized that the poof had not changed and then I dove into fandom for some answers/support/fixing. *G*

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? First: X-Files, Mulder/Scully; Second: Buffy/Angel then Buffy/Spike (in the end it's B/S); And just when I thought NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE could be better than Buffy, I found BSG. HOLY FRAKKING FRAK. I'm hardcore now. Buffy who? (Mulder still makes me squee, though. Hee.)

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples? I am writing and publishing fic. I'm even slowly revealing more of my personality online. It's been a bit of a nervous journey to reveal myself personally (although I did jump into fandom with two feet).

Hee! Heather, I didn't know you were a Buffy/Spike shipper :) I loved them a lot and still do. They are one of the fandoms I return to, and there were some very beautiful fics about them in their day. One of the first fanfics I ever wrote (and which I never posted) was a little Fanged Foursome adventure with Spike, Dru, Angelus and Darla. They can be a fun dysfunctional family, too. And in one of the few original poems I've ever written, I made it a point to use the word "effulgent" :)

I am [livejournal.com profile] stripes13, and since the Dragon*Con I am "Jersey"

2. When did you start watching bsg?

Long answer? 2007. Short answer? I marathoned it in a week last August

3. When did you enter fandom?

I lurked for a while (most of 2009) and finally took the plunge at one of the rewatches...the KLG 2 rewatch to be exact

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?

This is not my first fandom, actually, Alias has that honor, though I was a professional lurker there and NEVER posted ANYTHING. So BSG is the first one I've ever been active in. I am currently lurking at a couple Doctor Who comms, but I'm only doing that for the fic

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?

What, you mean like drive down to Atlanta with people that I had never met so that I could spend a weekend with MORE people I'd never met in a sea of 40,000 geeks and have an AMAZING TIME? Nope, never thought I'd EVER be one of those people. And yet for some reason I am contemplating doing it AGAIN in less than 2 weeks.....

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?

[livejournal.com profile] amidala_thrace said it above...[livejournal.com profile] iconic_lee opened its first challenge late last night....GO CHECK IT OUT!!!

33, AoC/YCGHA, Home(s), Captain's Hand, UBex

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

Sometimes after 3 ended.

3. When did you enter fandom?

Immediately after I started watching, I had to read all the K/L fics I could find.

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?

I suppose this is my first fandom in which I'm involved in, I shipped other couples but never participated except reading fics.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?

Lets see... I have learned to post pics, gone to my first con, participate in thinky thought discussions.

Nothing comes to mind.

[livejournal.com profile] skieswideopen. No callsign--I don't even drive, I'm certainly not going to be a pilot!

2. When did you start watching bsg?
When the mini-series first aired.

3. When did you enter fandom?
I looked around now and again over the course of the series, but I only started becoming seriously involved in BSG fandom a few months ago.

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?
Oh, I'm very much multi-fandom. I usually have two or three going at any one time. (Started out in The X-Files and Forever Knight, currently heavily into Stargate and peripherally into Criminal Minds and Supernatural.)

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?
I never expected to write and post porn, but fandom has a way of making these things seem perfectly normal. ;)

6. Any current projects you want to advertise?
No. I have a long list of Stargate fanfic to get through before my next BSG project. (I really want to write something that explores politican!Lee in more depth. Possibly involving an alternate ending. And I have a great AU featuring lawyer!Lee floating in my head. But I can't write either yet.)

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.
Oh, this is hard! I think I'd go with 33, Home 1+2, Downloaded, The Son Also Rises, and Sine Qua Non. Maybe.

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?
Obsess over Stargate. Watch a bunch of other TV shows. Read speculative fiction and English mystery novels. Do various grad school-related things.

1. My username is obviously ddt73, used the same one over on Skiffy. Most people call me Dave. I've even been called OTD (the one true Dave) lol. I got that name for all the promos I captured and gifs I created for BSG. :)

2. I've been with BSG since the beginning. I remember when I first heard of the series, that they were redoing Battlestar Galactica, which I remember vaguely from when I was a little kid. By the end of the first season I was hopelessly hooked.

3. I became a part of the fandom during season 3. I lurked before that. I believe the first time I went online about it was after they pulled the year time jump.

4 K&L is my first and only fandom. Other shows have captured my attention from time to time, but nothing even remotely like BSG did.

5. I never imagined I would spend so much time capturing SciFi and scanning their shows just to find new promos for BSG. I would capture whole nights of shows and would scan through it the next day to search for promos. When I did I would post them on youtube. I became good at it and could do it fairly quickly but still... lol

6. At the moment I'm not working on anything. I never know when a song will inspire me to create a vid. My last vid idea came when I was just channel surfing stopped on a music channel and the song they happened to be playing inspired me. So nothing today, but tomorrow? Who knows...

7. Mini Series, 33, Act of Contrition & You Can't Go Home Again, Home 1 & 2, Unfinished Business aired and extended.

8. Watch Phillies (4 straight division titles woot!) and Eagles, work on yard, read, watch my niece.

Nice to meet you, Dave! I'd like to see some of your vids. Where can I find them?

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called. Artemis-90. But in real life, I'm Bettina (to family) or Eliza (at work or school) and I really do answer to both, but as long as they pronounced it correctly (which I suppose isn't a problem here online, right?)

2. When did you start watching bsg? I started during the end of SyFy's marathon of season one right before season 2 premiered. I was listening to the beginning musical sequance of KLG1 from the kitchen and ran out to see what it was. I was very confused as I hadn't ever seen the "there are many copies" blurb, and I was wondering why there are two sharons and two lees (although I hadn't know they're names yet). I knew I was hooked when I decided then and there to see the whole season 1 starting at 7am next Saturday for the next 12 hours and then on Sunday trying to hunt for the mini series on DVDs.

3. When did you enter fandom I started hearing about and reading fanfic during the Season 2 to Season 3 hiatus (the was a long one!).

4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? BSG is the only fandom I've ever participated. I watch other shows, but I really haven't devoted that much personal time as with BSG! I like the several canon ships on BSG; I get really invested into characters and stories but not really that much invested in 'ships.

5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples? I've never thought participate in social networking at all. I've never wrote any kind of fiction either.

6. Any current projects you want to advertise? Just trying to get back to the fandom.

7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.33; New Caprica Arc, Pegasus Arc, Mutiny Arc, Kobol arc (heh, isn't that the longest arc - from 111 to 206, right?).

8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L? Exercising a very energetic Jack Russell Terror Puppy. Baking. Keeping tenants not unhappy.

Late to the party ....

I've been thinking about this post all day!!! Here's mine:

Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.

I'm [livejournal.com profile] nazkey, call sign Diva (I have NO idea why, but that's what [livejournal.com profile] stripes13 decided for me. I've been trying to live up to it since then.) Y'all can call me Naz (pronounced like "Oz")

When did you start watching bsg?

Over the 2009 Holidays. Watched the whole thing in a week.

When did you enter fandom?

Almost immediately after I watched the series. I was looking for fic :-)

Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type?

I guess I'm a multi-fandom, but not a multi-shipper. I don't go into fandoms looking for ships. My first serious ship was Lizzy/Darcy (Pride & Prejudice) and then Maggie/Thornton (North & South - and NO, not the one with Patrick Swayze!!! The Elizabeth Gaskell novel. BBC miniseries. Richard Armitage people. Richard "Frakking HOT" Armitage.)

Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples?

OMG, YES. You people are all super evil influences. I'm actually writing fic, which I NEVER would've done if it weren't for this fandom. I'm also now obsessively storing/hoarding icons and finally learned how to use Photobucket.

Any current projects you want to advertise?

Yeah, [livejournal.com profile] kag523 and I are writing a BSG/Pride & Prejudice crossover fic together. It's crazy and insane and it's all [livejournal.com profile] kag523's fault because she took me up on some joke comment I made on this comm. Then of course, she LURED me into writing it with her. But, it's an amazing experience and I'm having a blast and she rocks! You can start reading it HERE (http://kag523.livejournal.com/64511.html)

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier.

Mini, 33, Final Cut, LDYB 1 & 2

What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L?

I watch way too much TV, read like 5 books at the same time, am a mom to an 11-year old and work as an event/multimedia producer. Oh, and I"m going to mention this, because if I don't, she'll call me on it, I also edit [livejournal.com profile] koolaidmom11's daily entries. That's right folks. I get to read them way in advance!

I actually found a copy of Pride and Prejudice on my bookshelf today. (My husband goes through stages when he's going to read nothing but classics, and by read I mean put on the bookshelf and never touch again.) I might read it.

last but not least?

So I'm late too. But here goes.

1. Your username, callsign if applicable, +/- anything else you prefer (or don't mind) being called.
*You know, I don't actually have a callsign. Maybe I should get one, but until then you can call me ShinyFab or Shiny. Also, people off-line just call me Kara.
2. When did you start watching bsg? 2006-ish roughly.
3. When did you enter fandom? 2007. I wrote something after lurking forever. If you count my lurking period, I was hooked on fandom as soon as I watched the first episodes I could get my hand on.
4. Is K/L your first/only fandom or are you a multi-fandom type? I'm multi-fandom with Firefly and a little Bones on the side. As for BSG shipping, just K/L. Okay, maybe a little Boomer/Chief. I'm all oh noes you can't haz happi that way.
5. Have you done things you never dreamed you would in order to participate in fandom? Examples? So is compulsive re-reading and writing fic late into the night and obsessing about Jamie Bamber in a towel not normal then?
6. Any current projects you want to advertised? Not right now.
7. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have 5 bsg episodes, which would you take? I'll allow an arc to count as one entry to make things a little easier. 33, Water, New Caprica, Pegasus arc, the mutiny.
8. What do you do in the few minutes that you aren't obsessing over K/L? work mostly. sometimes I sleep or eat a form of food which allows me to obsess more about fandom.

Hey Shiny! Nice to meet you!

*NODS*

I have found these two activities to be both desirable and frustratingly necessary to obsess about fandom. I have to admit to having lost weight because I simply forget to eat! LOL!
