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 05:02 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-09-27 05:12 pm (UTC)Hee! K/L are addictive. I'm glad you came out of the closet, hon! It's fun around here.
As far as fandom, I completely hear you. BSG is my first (and possibly only) fandom I will join to this extent. I never really knew fandom existed and I certainly never expected to go to a sci-fi convention or anything else of such dorkish proportions. Oh well, it's done now and I love it here.
Yay for your blog!!
Nice epi choices.
Wow, I didn't know you sculpt and paint. That's completely awesome. I'd love to see some of your work!

Date: 2010-09-28 06:08 am (UTC)*puts on editor/manager voice* Please add this to the list of things you need to write about.
And hey, I have no idea what you're talking about. All I remember saying is that you're funny and next thing I know, you've turned into like this crazy blogger woman who keeps sending me stuff.
LOL. It's awesome to be friends with you girl. You make my day, every day! Love you Bestie!
