The June Something, Day 20: A random character shows up at your doorstep at dinnertime saying a friend sent them. Why did your friend send that person, how does it go, and what do you talk about?

Cincoflex sends me Obi-Wan Kenobi, because she knows I adore him. It goes amazingly, because though I suck at talking to people, he's an accomplished ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 19: What is something that you associate with a character in fandom, but aren't sure if it's canon or fandom?

I remember the first time I read a fic which had Xanatos as Qui-Gon's first apprentice who turns to the dark side, and thinking, oh, this is a cool OC and backstory for Qui-Gon. Then I read another one with Xanatos, ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 18: Recall a time when two of your fandoms collided, at least in some way. For example, a song that you fell in love with from one fandom showed up in a second fandom.

I love crossovers and fusions and deliberately colliding shows in fannish works (see icon). But my impression of the question is looking for accidental ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 17: Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?

Fic, definitely fic. I've loved rarepairs where there wasn't any art or vids, but there was at least some fics, and having something to read is bliss. And of course, with more popular pairings, I will devour ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 16: Do you have a fandom that you follow - either regularly or casually - with little to no knowledge of canon?

Not really. I did read the Doctor Who novelizations before I saw the shows, but that was because the shows weren't available. I watched it and continued to do so as soon as I could.

I did know the basics of The ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 15: What fandom pairing took you over like Venom took over Eddie?

I have loved a number of shows/pairings, but the ones that were...omg, I love you, I must write you, I must read you, I must think about you obsessively for months:

Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Stargate: ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 14: What fandom broke your heart?

Always and forever, Quantum Leap. Sam changed his history so that he got the love of his life back and he had a daughter who became a scientist and joined the project. He should have done his service and leaped back to be with his family and his best friend. But no, we got ads promising 'all ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 13: Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.

I don't know that it's so much a 'squick' as a frustration (but it's My June Something, I shall put my own interpretation on it!) but fellow fans who do not seem to enjoy a ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 12: Who is someone that you share the most fandoms with?

Possibly Cincoflex. We met because of Doctor Who, attended Dean Stockwell's ceremony for his Hollywood Walk of Fame star during our Quantum Leap period, she guided me to Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and we both wrote it, and are now in Marvel, though different pairings.

I've been ( Read more... )

The June Something, Day 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?

I can't recall anything that ever made me 'leave' a fandom...at some point, I just drift away. Usually when there's no new canon content and fandom is quietening down and I watch something else that calls to me. And for some of ( Read more... )
