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!!

Re: YAY! I LOVE FRIENDING MEMES!!!
Date: 2010-09-27 04:47 pm (UTC)Bamceps!! You are made of WIN. I love Jamie too. He's brilliant, funny, and seems like a genuinely good guy. The sequence of my K/L love went something like this: immediate love of Kara, quickly developed K/L love as the OTP to end all OTPs, then became more fascinated by Jamie and Lee, and, after dealing with some angst over Katee's interviews, of course fell in love with her too. Lately I've been rather focused on JB though. I saw his Celebrity Poker showing online the other night and loved that they called him "hot boy". He is adorable.
I can't wait to see your "Five Things" fic. Very exciting!
All great epi choices. It was hard to narrow down to five.
Heh back atcha. I obsess over other things too! Oh well. We could just not care and not obsess and that would be worse. At least we care. ;)
Congrats on your son. Three is a neat age...they are learning and exploring so quickly.
Thanks for posting!!

Yes, I am Ye Olde Skoole - which just goes to show you how dangerous BSG fandom is, if I'm still obsessed with the show after 5 years :D (Sadly, a lot of my early comrades in obsession have since moved onto other things, but there are a lot of lovely folks who've been around for a while. And wonderful NEW people still discovering the awesomeness of PILOTS!)
I'm ridiculously happy that everyone uses Bamceps now. Hey, like Kara, I don't want to be forgotten :P

I think outside the box :D

Well, it is very RESTFUL watching tv shows and just turning off the tv and not fretting for the rest of the week. On the other hand, I basically forget that things are on and watch them on DVD years later unless I'm totally into them. So ... there's taht!
Re: YAY! I LOVE FRIENDING MEMES!!!
Date: 2010-09-28 07:52 pm (UTC)I understand everyone has to stay or move on at their own pace, but I think I'll always hold K/L close to my heart. They've made a difference in my life...most tangibly with the friendships they've facilitated for us o/l and r/l.
K/L will be a part of me b/c they've been with me for years, much like other favorites from literature and theater that remain with me always. (Okay, I am stepping away from the sappy now.) ;)
