no_takebacksHappy 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!!
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!!

Date: 2010-09-27 04:22 pm (UTC)Eeeee!! Your novel is on my to-be-read list. I am super excited about it!!
*squishes you* Of course Lee is the dom!! Why doesn't more of fandom realize this dynamic? It's fine to have Kara top if it's just for sex, but any sort of lifestyle dynamic would not work without Lee as dom. He's the one with the overarching principles to uphold. Kara's the one that benefits from Lee's fairly regular "kicks in the ass". It also gives her the freedom to be Kara while knowing that Lee will do his best to keep her from anything truly destructive. Doesn't always work, but then it doesn't always work in life either. (Besides, we all know that the sub holds the ultimate power...and I'm sure Kara would be more than willing to gleefully remind Lee of that fact.) ;)
Nice desert island choices. I excluded the mini because I feel like I know the K/L parts and the rest kinda bores me at this point. The others are all essential though.
What kind of medical software? That is fascinating. Do you mind me asking what type degree you have for that? (Is it more tech based and just happens that you do medical stuff or is it a combo of medical and tech knowledge?) *curious about varied job opportunities*
And nothing wrong w/ being domestic. Canned goods are yum!

Date: 2010-09-27 04:36 pm (UTC)OK. You'll LOVE this. My college degree is in Elementary Education, but I had a change of heart and started looking for computer-related work. My company does whole-hospital software written in our own programming language, so they'll hire anyone off the street if they pass the aptitude test. Which I did.
I had been thinking career change and went to a job fair with my then-boyfriend-now-husband and brought a few resumes of mine. He didn't get a job from that fair, but I did! I'm a programming supervisor and everything now, which is sort of like teaching little kids. ;)
OMG, no more talk of kink! I have no time to add that project! Bad kitty! No matter how very true your observations are!

Date: 2010-09-27 06:10 pm (UTC)Wow, I could not teach elementary education. Children are nice one at a time for short periods but I am not at all motivated to enter a room with many of them present. They are little vectors carrying all kinds of disease...from colds, to lice, to chicken pox. Ick. :P
*grins* Okay, I will be quiet for now, bb. All I have to say though is that L/k D/s needs to be written. I'm trying but I don't write fic and it is not really a skill I possess. I will write the meta as above. You write the fic. SSWA. ;)
