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!!

Okay, speaking as someone who took a LONG time settling on the design of her tattoo (I have a daisy), here's my opinion:

DEFINITELY do NOT do the mandala. That's just bad karma, IMO. It's like the folks who wanted to buy the "one ring" in the LOTR world. Like, why???

I think vipers are something that would end up annoying you after a while. I mean, keep in mind, once you get a tat, you're pretty much stuck with it for the rest of your life :-)

I'd go with "nothing but the rain." To be honest, I'm at the stage where I totally want another tattoo, and that's one of my choices. I just love it. And I think it's something that whenever I see it, etc., I'll remember what BSG (and Kara) mean to me.

I'm not big on the Aurora thing either.

Naz with a daisy. Hee. Where?

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

It's my favorite flower :-) It's on my lower back. A graphic designer friend of mine designed it. It needs to be recolored, but I'm afraid that if I walk into a tattoo shop, I'll end up getting another one!

Aww, hee! That's adorable. :)

Agreed, I'm leaning towards just getting the text. It's very Kara and I love it. Hee!! I'd laugh at us if we got the same tat. (I know the font and placement would probably be different, but it would still amuse me.)
