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!!

See? It's not just me forcing the kink meta on you. Naz is equally to blame.

In fact, I have a whole list of peeps that I blame for bringing me out of my kink shell with thoughts and comment!fic. (Bee, innibis, coffeesuperhero, leiascully, sci_fi_shipper, kag, AND the two of you, my dears!!)

That's what fellow shippers are for, didn't you know? *Imagines the song "That's What Friends are For": Keep shipping, keep ficcing, know that you can count on me...for pOrn, cuz I tell ya that's what ships are for."*

LOL. Now I have that song stuck in my head.

Yes, Kink Lovers of the World Unite and Gang Up on ninjamonkey to Write Kink RFN.

Ha! Someone taught me that trick once and I swear it works. (i.e. If you have a song in your head and you tell someone else, it leaves your head and moves into theirs. It's great for people you don't like. You can put really shitty songs in their heads while not feeling like you did anything super vicious.)

(Just FYI, I do like you. That song isn't awful though really. I liked it as a kid. Then I did a lot of HIV/AIDS volunteer work in high school mid-90's when I was in theater and so the song is also representative of that era for me.)

hahaha ... I love the back pedaling there bb. I love you hon and I'd never think that you would do something that mean to me. You obviously have no understanding of the spider problem, but that's a whole other story ;-)

Yeah, I love that song too. One of my best friends is HIV positive, so I'm very involved in many HIV/AIDS related causes.

Well, I know you know I love ya...but I just figured it never hurts to confirm it. Something like this generally works...

MY NAME IS THEGREENKITTY AND I LOVE NAZKEY. ;)

Bonus points if you don't run off and marry someone else tomorrow out of fear that you'll hurt me. I'm reassured by the fact that you're already married and polygamy is illegal. ;)

FWIW, if/when we are ever in the same place and you see a spider, I will take care of it for you, bb. Promise.

It is a good song. And you and I have a lot of the same interests/activities going on. I wish we were not divided by such a huge mass of land. :(

I feel like you use me for my (dirty) mind. Is it wrong if I don't mind? ;)
