First, some basics.
Hey, there. What’s your name?: Elizabeth
Oh, really. Go by anything else?: Effie
Awesome. What about your journal? F-locked? Open? We must know!:F-locked for the most part.
Any other journals? Maybe for fics or graphics?:Fic be here: itsonlylifefic
What else do you like to do? Have any hobbies?:Photography, writing, annoying people when they should be working. I'm really good at that last one.
Would you like to say anything else about yourself?:I'm an odd duck who has a clotting disorder. That's me in a nutshell.

OK! Enough about you, let’s talk about you!
Fandoms you frequent?:Besides TM, Bones is my big one, though I lurk in Torchwood and DW circles. I used to do SVU until they took away my pretty Cabot.
Which characters do you love?: Az, Cam, Snarky!Brennan (ie not this season), Ianto, Tosh (*sob*), Martha Jones, Alex Cabot.
Which characters do you hate?:The Queen, Owen Harper, Emo!Stabler.
Have a favorite pairing?:Cain/DG, Brennan/Booth before she turned into Mutant!Brennan, Ianto/Jack.
Or one that you dislike with a passion?:Stabler/Benson, Gwen/Jack. Just not my cup of tea.
Those are all great to know, but what’s your favorite movie?:Elizabeth (the original). And the Red Sox World Series videos.
Oh, really. What about TV shows? Got some favorites there?:Oh, Lord. I am a TV DORK. Doctor Who (NuWho), Torchwood, Chuck, Bones for the time being, The X-Files for nostalgia.
And music?:I have really mixed tastes, but favorite artists/bands at the moment are Lady Antebellum, Evanescence, Dixie Chicks, the Fray and Kate Voegele.
Have a favorite celebrity?: I'm partial to the Deschanel sisters, and my future husbands David Anders and Matthew Macfayden.
Do you have a favorite book?:Pride and Prejudice.

And now the part of the meme we’ve been waiting for!
How long have you been a part of the Tin Man fandom?:Since January. I'm late to everything.
The age-old question: Tin Men or Longcoats?:RED SOX. Oh, wait. Tin Men, though I'm with moony_blues and love the Cain-in-Longcoat numminess.
Favorite character from Tin Man? And why?:I gotta go with the Az lovin' on this one. What a plethora of emotional issues. The psychologist in me wants to squish her, and then study her.
Least favorite? And why?:Again with the Queen. The plot/characterization holes just make my head hurt.
What ship(s) do you sail?:I like Cain/DG, though I'm trying to be open and read as many other pairings as I can. Right now, I just want good fic, darn it all.
Because x_kennedy wanted to know, Cain’s hat or Glitch’s zipper?: HAT!
We all love quotes. What’s your favorite?: "Azkadellia! Sorceress of darkness! Village raider! Brain thief!"
Of the three parts, which is your favorite?: I gotta go with Part Three. The hug on the hill. The big kablooey at the tower. The Jeb.
If you could crossover Tin Man with any fandom in existence, what would it be?:Hm. Probably Doctor Who. Donna Noble in the O.Z. Oh, the snark.
What do you love most about Tin Man?:It's familiar enough to be comfortable, but innovative enough to keep me entertained. What do you do in the Tin Man fandom (i.e.: write fanfiction, make icons, make videos)?: Bring on the fic, baby.
Are you for or against a sequel to Tin Man?:Only if the cast and writers come back. No "the part of Cain will now be played by..." stuff.
Recommend your favorite Tin Man El-Jay comm:That's like picking a favorite kid. I love the people over at tm_challenge and tinman_fic.
Finish the sentence. I love Tin Man because…:it stands the test of time. I can watch it over and over and still be interested. And because it's let me meet a bunch of awesome people I probably wouldn't know without the fandom.

Don't we all! I've been lamenting the good fic in the Tin Man fandom for a while now. I think the reason my muse moved to Siberia is because of the over abundance of badfic in Tin Man... =\

Bones used to be so great! It's still a good show but I was really turned off by the whole daddy issue spiel.

I know, right? I watched "The Woman In the Garden" tonight on TNT, and was like, what happened to my show? This whole season was uneven, strike or no strike. It just felt like bad fanfic, over and over again. It made me feel dirty. :)

And that finale. Let's not even GET me started on that one. We'll be here for a week. Let's just say I needed stitches after banging my head repeatedly against the wall in frustration.

I bought S1 at Target the other day to try and get me through the terribleness that was the last 4 weeks of the season.

Aflksjgsf, the finale. I just thought that was too random and forced. Oi, I can't believe they did that. ARGH, I miss old skool!Bones.

For serious. Give me "Aliens In a Spaceship" any day. Hell, I'll take the outtakes over the crap they forcefed us this season. I think I'm going to hang on for the premiere, but I'm about ready to Dropkick Murphy [/random Red Sox moment] it to the curb if they keep up with this drivel.

Hm, a Bones marathon. That might just work.

Lady Antebellum

I got this CD based on the word of your word, etc. Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm excited :D

I'd have to agree with you on the Queen. If there was one character I hated it was HER!!!!!! I could probably rant about her and what she did, not only to her family but also to the entire OZ, for hours and hours. Understandable for some of it, but the rest, I'm going "o_O WTH?!".
Scene between Cain/DG on the hill in Part III, my absolute FAVORITE scene besides the "Hey there, Princess" in Part II
I'm with you on original cast and writers. Anyone replaced, I will be SERVERELY disappointed & royally po-ed!

I just don't get the Queen. Hell, even Evil!Az I can justify, but I can't figure Ma Kettle out at all. You and I can rant together. Hee.

We'll be The Muscle to make sure the sequel is decently written and casted. Yes, I can see us now...dressed all in black, armed with DG's sticks to beat Van Sickle and Long Mitchell over the heads if they screw up. :)

Include me on the Queen's rant brigade. That is one character I could not stand. Heck, I liked Ahamo (with his studid sideburns) better. And, if I hear one more "My Angel", I may scream. I can see why Az overthrew her mother for the throne.

Sorry for interrupting. Please continue your life.

Can I add you to my f-list?

No. I've heard some...interesting...stories about you. :)

Goofy gus.

I can completely reassure you that all those stories are completely true false. Why do I hear John Cleese saying that in my head?

=D
