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 05:14 pm (UTC)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
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.

Date: 2010-09-27 06:26 pm (UTC)2. Awww, I never knew when you came in exactly. We actually started about the same time. (I started a few epis into S4.)
3. *giggles* I knew you were a Roslin girl. I didn't know that you were A/R though. Interesting. See, this type info is exactly why friending memes are necessary!
4. Multio-fandom and in professional school and cooking and writing and playing with friends. I have no idea how you do everything in your day, babe. It never fails to impress me.
5. *giggles again and looks intrigued* My dear, have you written A/R porn?
6. Yay!! Can't wait to see these.
8. Seriously, I know we joke, but if you want to open a restaurant, you should do it. Life is too short. Besides, you still will have your law degree to fall back on.
p.s.--What is up w/ bsg and skipping over the 7?? It is one of my favorite numbers. Why the 7 hate? :P

7. LOL I TOTALLY FORGOT TO DO SEVEN!!!! That is what I get for trying to write these answers while watching episodes of Criminal Minds and daydreaming about my TV Boyfriend Jason Gideon. XD I will make a list shortly!!!
8. I really, really want to. LIKE WO.

5. Aw. You don't have to read them! I know that it's not everyone's favorite ship. I just looooooooove them.
7. Lee Adama loves me in spite of my wandering heart, okay. Besides, while I'm off snuggling with my new TV boyfriend,
8. OMG RESTAURANT :D :D :D Sigh.

Date: 2010-09-28 08:28 pm (UTC)Oh, E? Another thought I had about the restaurant today while driving? YOU ARE ABLE TO LURE PEEPS FROM ACROSS THE POND (looks over at Eugie!!) WITH YOUR FOOD. THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD POSSIBLY FAIL TO BRING IN THE CUSTOMERS. (see, capslocky goodness and everything) ;)
