Stuff You Like

Current Fandoms: Game of Thrones (and ASOIAF), Haven, The Vampire Diaries, Parks & Rec, Happy Endings, Supernatural, The Killing, Mad Men, Justified, Doctor Who, Being Human (UK), Miranda, Sherlock, Parenthood, Community, Downton Abbey, Fringe (but it’s on a trial basis due to bad behavior), Misfits, IT Crowd
Past Fandoms: Lost (love of my life), the Whedonverse, Fullerverse, Gilmore Girls, X-Files, Spaced, Flashforward, Terriers, Deadwood, Freaks and Geeks, Party Down, The Office, Ugly Betty
Which New Fall Shows Are You Most Excited About? I’m mostly excited about the midseason shows (The River, Awake, and Alcatraz), but I’ll definitively be checking out Ringer, Hell on Wheels, Once Upon a Time, and Up All Night...and American Horror Story, but I’m apprehensive about that one. I’m also looking forward to BBCA airing Bedlam and The Hour.
Most Obscure Show/Celebrity/Book/Movie/Musician You Love: I’m currently obsessed with the soap actor Jeff Branson thanks to my mom’s continued insistence on me watching Y&R with her, not that I complain when his face is on the screen. He’s been in a couple of movies as well, my favorite of which is The Big Bad Swim. So adorable. Also, his voice is even deeper than Misha’s Castiel growl. Yeah, it does make me all melty.

Randomness

Last Book You Read: A Clash of Kings by GRRM. I’m working on A Storm of Swords right now.
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Jaye Tyler (Wonderfalls), Georgia Lass (DLM), Miranda (Miranda), Penny Hartz (Happy Endings), and Daisy Steiner (Spaced). So basically, socially awkward, snarky, lady slackers, ftw.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Food. Cooking it, eating it, watching other people talk about it, reading books---everything. I’m not really a foodie, just someone who’s fascinated by the culture that surrounds it. And also someone who likes to eat cake.
You Are Passionate About… television, writing, food, books, feminism, bromances, Juliet Burke, Sam Winchester, Bela Talbot, classic films, Adam Scott’s face, my ships…but not in a crazy way, Arya Stark and her epic (mostly just in my head) friendship with Gendry.

Important Stuff

Tell Us About Your Journal: I think I tend more towards the capslock/squee end of the spectrum. I’m ridiculously pan-fannish as you can tell from my fandoms list, but I tend to get tunnel vision and focus on one thing for a short length of time before flying off to my next obsession. At the moment I’m all about GoT, but expect Parks & Rec and Happy Endings to cycle back around come September.

I talk about real life as well (particularly about my nieces, things I’ve cooked, whining about job woes), and books and movies. There’s lots of memes. And I write fic and put together the occasional rec post when I have time to read other folk’s stuff. I’m laid back and hate drama that is not happening on my television screen. I post at least once a week, but usually much more often than that.

I ship a lot of different things, including a handful of brother ships (but not Sam/Dean weirdly), so you should be aware of that. I think that’s about it. Oh, and I’m always going to be a Lost stan…even if I wasn’t a fan of s6.
Fannish Pet Peeves: People who never post/comment, wank of any kind, character bashing.

*happy sigh* Favorite movie of the year, thus far. True fact.

Oh man. It's always exciting, yet weird when I find somebody who knows/listens to Brand New. The inner teenager in me is squealing at finding another person who listens to them. They are such a ridiculously amazing band.

Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Economics. I love it way too much. I'm starting graduate school for it.

Rambling about television and women in television and the occasional good movie. Music. Bear McCreary may own a portion of my soul. Friends. Artichokes. Spaceships. That much is obvious :)
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: Okay, to answer the many questions in the form: I am friends-locked but that's just because I like to know who I'm talking to. I am squee-prone but I like to do metas/reviews/critiques of the shows I'm watching, either on a series basis (if it's no longer airing) or an episode basis. All my fic is cross-linked at my journal from [livejournal.com profile] prefer_my_life. I am a panfannish multi-shipper. I have my favorites and they are my darlings, including Juliet O'Hara, Kate Austen and Ron Weasley. I love friendships and siblings over any other kind of relationship, and as a rule, I ship outlaws. I do post about my personal life, though I try to keep the personal posts balanced with media-related posts. And I usually post once a day or every other day. Phew.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Character hate. Character assassination in shows. Girls who are disenfranchised. Rape in storytelling for shock value. Girls who can't be friends because of a guy. Girls who are blamed for love triangles.

Stuff You Like
Current Fandoms: Well, I'm most occupied with the Tolkien fandom right now (the Silmarillion end of it), but there's always my old stand-byes, Doctor Who, HBO war dramas, period dramas in general, Being Human (UK), Boardwalk Empire, Merlin, Mad Men. Game of Thrones, though I am restricting myself to the show only.
Past Fandoms: I was way into Supernatural until uh, last year. Oh, and Torchwood. I haven't yet seen the new series though.
Which New Fall Shows Are You Most Excited About? New? Um, I don't know. I'm looking forward to Downton Abbey coming back.
Most Obscure Show/Celebrity/Book/Movie/Musician You Love: Garth Marenghi's Darkplace/James Badge Dale/Behind the Scenes at the Museum/Withnail and I/Murder by Death.
Randomness
Last Book You Read: The Vintner's Luck. Its quality was not exaggerated!
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Pete Campbell, Mary Crawley, the fictionalized Bob Leckie. Uh, basically characters I end up writing fic for, eventually. Malcontents who aren't very good with their feelings, mostly.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Drawing and painting.
You Are Passionate About… Food. Scarves. Reading coffee table books that are meant for only display, bad poetry.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: Well, I think there's enough unlocked stuff on my journal for you to get an idea of what I post. (Light-hearted stuff, coupled with fic about fandoms and pairings few people would care about.) I tend to lock posts about my real life and,inexplicably, lots and lots of memes. I post regularly, usually at midnight or later. I have my favored couples but I don't think shipping is that big of a deal. It shouldn't be, after all.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Well, not a pet peeve so much as rage educing -- but misogyny, disguised or otherwise, basically.

My wacky misadventures as I try to get myself into an institute of higher education. Ruminations about baking and how pretty western Massachusetts can be. Memes. Sometimes, when I'm stuck with writer's block, drabble prompt requests. A hopeful balance between eye-rolling and squeeing, I think.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Character hate. Sexist and misogynist writing. People who don't comment.
Anything Else: I make silly faces at small children on the subway.

Randomness
Last Book You Read: This is horrible. The Help by Kathryn Stockett. But I read other things! Promise! Here is my good reads account. The best things I've read in the past 12 months are probably The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin, Allison Hewitt is Trapped by Madeleine Roux and Bossypants by Tina Fey.

Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Taking pictures, family, friends, etc.

You Are Passionate About…
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: I post fic, some graphics, occasional videos, personal posts, and fandom posts. Most of all my fandom posts are outside of a friends lock. Personal stuff is usually locked, depending. I enjoy talking about meta-y things. I like to squee just as much as I like to critique things and think that a part of loving a show is analyzing the text and the characters, even if that means you don't love every part of a show. I love movies too. My ship tastes are largely non-canon which is reflected by the fic I write. I am pretty vocal about my opinions, even if they happen to be unpopular. Very much pan-fannish. (Which my fandoms list should indicate.)

Fannish Pet Peeves: Closed-mindedness (when it comes to fannish stuff especially), misogyny, when people only post at tumblr and not at livejournal, and ship wars. (Oh god, no.)

Anything Else: I... I... I don't know.

[identity profile] ozmissage.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, I didn't know you related to Bonnie! I can totally see that though. <3

Also, I see you there editing my fandoms and replacing them with shows. See if I call them shows I get depressed by how epically I fail at joining non-Lost fandoms and I like to pretend I'm a citizen of the (fannish) world.

Last Book You Read: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Ned from Pushing Daisies, so much. Uncomfortably at times, Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Miranda too.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Writing.
You Are Passionate About… My family, my friends, my cat, music, books, food, writing.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: Mostly fannish stuff. I talk very freely about my real life, about things going on with me at any given moment, but I'd say that's about only about 20% of the time, if that. Mostly I post about my fandoms and do posts that include links to picspams and icons and basically anything that I find noteworthy from fandoms I follow that I think people on my flist would like or should know about.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Wank, goes without saying I supposed. Bashing of characters or ships. Fandom entitlement is my biggest pet peeve, but that's more of a general attitude than something I see in specific instances. Basically, just be nice and thoughtful and we won't have a problem.
Anything Else: Yes! Have a Hurley hug!

You Are Passionate About… Pop culture, food, fashion, feminism, history, museums, art, cephalopods, sarcasm, Matthew Goode's face, my husband (I probably should have listed him first).

Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: I vacillate between exuberant capslock flail and TL;DR meta analysis. I think it's completely possible to critically analyze something while still enjoying it (in fact, much of my enjoyment from the entertainment I consume comes from analysis). I don't have an issue at all with the consumption of problematic media (god knows I enjoy plenty of it myself), I just think it's important to watch with a critical eye as well as a fannish one. Let there be both squee and meta! Regardless if I'm capslocking or meta-ing it up, my entries do tend to be on the long side. I have a habit of collecting various talking points for my entries so they usually contain a bunch of bullet-pointed paragraphs. Most of what I write is fandom or pop culture-related, but I do include some real life stuff if I think it's interesting to share. I'm pan-fannish and I always like to pick up new things, and while I love to ship I consider myself a laid back multi-shipper (ORGIES ARE ALWAYS THE SOLUTION) and this graphic sums up my personal shipping policies. You'll get no shipping wank from me. I usually post about once or twice a week.
Fannish Pet Peeves: I don't expect everyone to look at media with a superb critical eye, but if you're going to hate on a relationship or a character for flimsy reasons like "I don't like their face" or "they are in the way of my OTP" or "they are female" then you are basic and I will have very little time for you. I'm not easily offended when it comes to fandom opinions unless they are based in complete ignorance and thoughtlessness. Things like slut shaming, misogyny, and mindless perpetuation of various 'isms grind my gears. I would prefer to have journals on my friends list that post actual content (so no fic, graphics, or memes-only journals... though I do love me some memes) and I appreciate people who comment semi-regularly. No drama-llamas who ride the waaaaah-mbulance. Also for the love of god use LJ-cuts. They are your friend.

Tell Us About Your Journal: *Many of us have friends locked journals which makes it hard to get a feel for what a new friend will actually be like, so use this space to give us an idea of what it’s like to be on your flist.

Pan-fannish or devoted to one and only one, fandom love? Inquiring minds want to know.

I make a variety of posts. I'm definitely prone to being meta/critical about shows/books that warrant it (and some that don't--hello Gossip Girl!). I post a bit about my real life, but that's interspersed with silly stuff. I don't often post fic.

You Are Passionate About…
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: Fandom journal. No friends-lock. I rarely talk about real life. My LJ is mostly for fandom discussion, fanfiction, fanart, memes, recs, and rants. I welcome comments of all lengths. I am prone to canon ships, which can be very unpopular in some of my fandoms. I mostly write comics-related fanfic, but I'm looking to expand my repertoire, especially in my book-fandoms. I can be a hardcore shipper on occasion, quite prone to het and gen.

Fair warning, I go through dry-spells. Lengths of time in which I post absolutely zilch. Then, out of nowhere, BOOM! Long fanfic, endless commentary, and giant recs. You never know with my mood.

Fannish Pet Peeves: Tim Drake haters are not allowed on my dance floor. They just aren't. Also, politics. Too much politics wraps everything in negativity for me. Also, I'm not a yaoi fangirl. If you're all about the slash all the time, we probably don't have too much to talk about. I also like a fair amount of maturity and respect in my fangirl-to-fangirl interaction. Lack of it will irk me quickly.

Anything Else:

Lots of staccato, incomplete sentences. I do occasionally ship/write incest (Damon/Stefan [TVD] & Michael/Kristina [GH] in particular, Shannon/Boone in the past), so if that's a super squick you might wanna stay away.

Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: History- specifically British- if that's not considered fannish. (The lines get pretty blurry).
You Are Passionate About… Social justice, and the intersection of SJ with fiction.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: I post a lot of intersecting social justice and fandom- analyzing movies/TV/etc for their treatment of minorities and so forth- but my language isn't very academic, and I try- and am working towards- to avoid being unyielding in my opinions. I believe that fandom should be a safe place, and a fun one. That doesn't mean ignoring serious problems, but it does mean recognizing the battles that are and aren't worth fighting. Like, if you're not a huge fan of Nina from Being Human, that's fine, but if you're calling her a bitchface hobag who deserves to die painfully, that will cause problems. That kind of thing.

I have OCD, nonverbal learning disorder, and social anxiety. Generally my talk about this is under a filter, but I'm usually happy to explain what it entails if you're confused. If it seems like I'm ignoring you chances are I'm not- you just happen to have caught me without any spoons. That said, I do find initiating contact difficult sometimes because of the anxiety, so don't be afraid to talk to me first- chances are I'll welcome it.

I'm also a theatre person, and have been known to get very . . . erm . . . passionate about the productions I see. (For (http://evewithanapple.tumblr.com/post/7211091960/i-really-hate-des-macanuff-you-guys) example (http://evewithanapple.tumblr.com/post/7207422965).) If you ever see me in a frothing rage over something that isn't SJ-related, that's probably it.

I really, really love talking about my icons.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Ship/character-bashing (not constructive criticism, BASHING), elitism, cliquishness, making others feel bad for not sharing your opinions.
Anything Else: I have been frequently compared to Geoffrey Tennant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0uVGCYRP4I). That should probably tell you everything you need to know about me.

Stuff You Like
Current Fandoms: Korean dramas, Community, The Office, Merlin, True Blood, Glee, Modern Family, 30 Rock
Past Fandoms: Ugly Betty, Monk, In Plain Sight, Psych
Which New Fall Shows Are You Most Excited About? Honestly, I've pretty much just been following Korean television for the past 4 months, so I have no idea. I'll say Free Agents simply because it has Anthony Head in it (and I enjoyed the British version. At least, I enjoyed Anthony Head's character in the British version)
Most Obscure Show/Celebrity/Book/Movie/Musician You Love: The British comedy team-up of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson. Or maybe the Filipino love tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonso (which probably isn't obscure in the Philippines, but in the USA it totally is). Or maybe my obsession with all foreign versions of Ugly Betty? Particularly the Colombian version. Or, well, my current interest in Korean dramas. Basically, I get into weird things with the smallest encouragement.

Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Andy Bernard (The Office), Beatrice Pinzon Solano (Yo Soy Betty, la Fea)
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: My family. I love them lots and talk about them quite often.
You Are Passionate About… TV, fictional relationships

Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: At the moment it's mainly just me babbling to myself about the Korean dramas that I'm watching. Occasionally I'll throw in posts about work or family. Once the TV season starts, I'll be back to obsessing over my American TV shows (or more like obsessing over my long-time ships). I'm a shippy person through and through, but my ships also tend to be unpopular ones, so I try not to be too gung-ho about them, but, you know, I'm going to analyze every little interaction until I am blue in the face. But I love hearing from people who view things differently than I do, so opposing ship talk is totally welcome. Oh, also, most of my ships tend to be May/December and/or Teacher/Student or Boss/Employee or Partners or BFFs. If they are work spouses, I will ship the crap out of them. If they are in any way inappropriate, I am probably intrigued by them.
Fannish Pet Peeves: I'm not too picky, to be honest. I do prefer people who like to comment, but seeing as how I've gotten bad at that myself, it's not really a dealbreaker.
Anything Else:



I unironically ship Duncan/Chang. This gif so proves their love.

At the moment I'm going through a creative dry-spell, but I'm generally into the fic thing. There's some rl stuff, not a whole lot of memes, and I'm much better at joining in on other people's meta than posting my own, but once the discussion starts I will NOT stop talking.
Fannish Pet Peeves: "Kate needs to be punished for sleeping with Sawyer before Jack takes her back." Also, I have a really hard time with "every opinion is welcome in my journal (as long as it's a lot like mine)."

You Are Passionate About… television, feminism, shipping, my family/friends, psychology/mental health issues (I was a psych major), and coffee.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: My journal is actually like 99% unlocked so you can probably see what it's like, but it tends to be a mix of fandom squeeing/television reactions and stuff going on in my life, although right now my life is super boring, so it's leaning much more towards fandom stuff at the moment. I occasionally picspam stuff. I tend to capslock a lot, although I normally try to make the things I post mostly coherent. I tend to be devoted to a bunch of different fandoms. There are a few that usually greater in my heart (right now that would be Parks and Rec, The Good Wife, and Game of Thrones), but I talk about most things I watch, and I watch a lot of stuff, so I tend to post about different things. I usually latch onto one ship in a show and don't multi-ship very well (although I'm getting better at that!), but I never bash people for shipping different things; I try to be as respectful as possible of other ships (although that doesn't mean I won't point out things that I find flawed about ships/characters I don't like).
Fannish Pet Peeves: People who bash others for what they ship or what characters they like. Also, perpetuating the various -isms, particularly hate for female characters for no real reason and slut shaming.

Last Book You Read: Ender's Game
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: LYLA GARRITY (FNL). Other people I'm way too protective over include Faith Lehane (BtVS), James Cook (Skins), Kim Kelly (Freaks and Geeks)
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: filmmaking (writing, directing, editing, being some production company's grunt for free)
You Are Passionate About… art, anything that is unique or interesting, feminism, red cowboy boots, s'mores poptarts, alphabetization, what's going on, people that are not assholes, assholes that are people, Elliott Smith, snow, writing

Important Stuff:

Tell Us About Your Journal: It's pretty all over the place. I host a LOT of very chill comment fic memes, usually bi-monthly. That's a big feature of my LJ. I squee and rant over the immense amount of TV I watch, talk about personal things (but usually briefly), post a lot of fanmixes, and love a good gif. Sometimes I post more than once a day, but not often. As for fannish preferences, big multi-shipper (with the caveat that often there are couples I focus on/love the most). All fic @ [livejournal.com profile] girljustdied.
Fannish Pet Peeves: I'm super chill, this question makes me laugh. The only thing I really don't like are endless "I'M GOING TO FRIENDS CUT, NO ONE COMMENTS ENOUGH, COMMENT HERE OR I WILL CUT YOU!" type posts.

Last Book You Read: Take the Cannoli by Sarah Vowell
Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Leslie Knope, Liz Lemon, Pam Beesley, Jaye Tyler, and April Ludgate.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Football/Soccer, I've loved the sport since I was little and I hate when people talk sh!t about it.
You Are Passionate About… Family, friends, music, tv shows, books, football, and my education.
Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: Well my LJ is "Friends Only" because I like knowing who reads my 'awesome' entries. I would say I post about once a week or when something really amazing happens that I feel like everyone should know about. I do go caplocks when something REALLY fangirlish happens but I don't abuse it or I put it behind an LJ cut. I talk about my real life stuff, school, movies, music (lots of Brand New talk). Pretty much befriending me is like becoming friends with Leslie Knope/April Ludgate.
Fannish Pet Peeves: LJ cuts are so underrated! Nothing irks me more than people who post multiple gifs in their entries and don't put then behind a cut, there's nothing wrong with one or two but when you're whole entry is gifs we have a problem. I don't like to bash other peoples' fandoms. And I don't like when people are like for example, "I hate Harry Potter because blah blah" but they've never read any of the books or at least watched the movies.

Hi! We have loads of fandoms in common (particularly Adam Scott the actor not the golfer, Parks and Rec, Happy Endings, Luther, Doctor Who, and Chuck), I love all the fictional characters you listed, and being friends with Leslie Knope/April Ludgate sounds amazing. Friends?

Fictional Characters You Over Relate To: Luna Lovegood. Hermione Granger. Number One. Spock.
Tell Us About One Non-Fannish Thing You’re Into: Food. Oh god, food. Cooking it, eating it, reading about it. I took a vow not to buy anything at the grocery store that I could make myself this summer. And I kept it.
You Are Passionate About… See above re: food.

Important Stuff:
Tell Us About Your Journal: What you see is what you get. It's a grab bag of fannish content - recs, fics and ficlets, reaction posts, occasional angsting about writing.
Fannish Pet Peeves: Eh. I'm not sure I have any real hard and fast ones. I tend not to go for the big ships in a fandom, and I am strongly attracted to female characters. But I can enjoy all kinds of things I normally dislike if they are done well.
Anything Else: So this is the place where people put macros? I don't have any of those. Like I said, bad fangirl.
