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!!

Re: Late to the party ....
Date: 2010-09-29 03:54 am (UTC)Oh, and I have no idea WHY stripes might have dubbed you Diva. (Or why I think I might've been one of the ones who seconded it.) ;) Spiders are first to come to mind. *grins* Also, I am SO glad you are part of this group. You are completely awesome and I will be dragging you and kag and all to D*C next year.
Heh, these guys are very bad influences!! Your fic is awesome though!! The comment!fics have been hilarious and lovely. I love P+P, so I can't wait to get to read your crossover fic. (It is on my list. I promise.)
That's an interesting epi list. I have a theory on Final Cut. (And even aside from that particular linen scene, it is just a generally well-made episode.) Why LDYB? I'm curious.
Ugh...I used to read 5 books at a time but I've gotten slower. Or the internet has taken over my life. Or work has taken over my life. Or some combination of the above. We must start the book club soon. Books are the best ever. I think they were my first love. No, actually, I think cats were my first love. Books came next. (Only b/c babies start to pet creatures before developing reading skills.)
LOL, yep, you better stay on top of those blog entries. She will completely call ya on it. ;) :P

Date: 2010-09-29 05:51 am (UTC)I love Final Cut because not just because of the towel scene, but because it is so gritty and real. I love the documentary style, the "rawness" of it. I'd love to hear your theory.
Well, LDYB was just so powerful to me. Everything they went through ... just the overall arc of the story at that point. One of my all time favorite scenes is when Baltar puts his head down on the desk and it just says "one year later" and he lifts his head up and everything is completely f'ed up. I'm a HUGE movie buff and I love cinematography, lighting, etc. and those two epi's were pretty epic. Very gutsy filmmaking, especially for T.V.
I can't NOT read. I admit reading fic has taken over a bit and I'm actually miffed about the fact that I'm spending so much time reading online vs. actually, physically holding a book! But the fic is SO DAMN GOOD!!!
xoxo
The Diva.
