DPP: "We're all friendlies. So, let's just... be friendly!!" FRIENDING MEME take 2!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

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 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!!

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

I am 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?

amidala_thrace said it above...iconic_lee opened its first challenge late last night....GO 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.

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

I work. And when I'm not doing that I have my laptop almost surgically attached to me. But mostly I read fic and fool around on the twitter and recently the EVIL EVIL Facebook

1. Hee! Bee did well with Jersey. It's a good one for you.

3. I remember you delurked shortly after I did and it was awesome to not be the "newest" anymore. Now it feels like we've both been here for ages. It's comfy though with loads of good people. :)

5. Same here!! If someone told me five years ago that I would be going to dorkcon, I would have laughed in their face. Wow. Agreed, it was an amazing and fantastic weekend! I don't know how we got so lucky, but K/L shippers are completely awesome. All of them!

I'm super excited that you may get to go fangirl +/- meet Katee +/- Rally in DC. I don't think either are happening for me.

6. Will do.

7. Good list. All essentials.

8. I don't know how you do it, babe. You are truly a genius when it comes to maximizing your time online while still maintaining a productive and normal real life!!
