Blogging in November ~ Days 18 - 20
And this whole blogging in November thing started off so well... sort of...
18.Share your favourite fandom places/sites outside of LJ.
So this is probably down to SFX, which I generally go on to get sci-fi/fantasy type news and tv/film reviews. Empire, a film magazine website for general film stuff, and AO3 for fics, because I think that's where most of it seems to be nowadays.
19.What about fandom drives you crazy sometimes?
Message boards - I'm looking at you IMDB, although some of the film magazine websites like Empire's boards aren't immune. I thinking the type of thing where someone voices an opinion and flame wars ensue, just because one person completely rejects the other's opinion and that by extension makes them a bad person. People are entitled to their own views! (Even if I disagree lol) Just sayin'.
20.Who is your favourite sidekick
I'm just going to pick Watson for this, because most of what I watch tends to be ensemble pieces and the character is pretty much the only one I can think that fits the sidekick role. I particularly like the modern re-discovery that Watson is not a complete idiot - he's not stupid, but not everyone can stand next to Sherlock and appear clever. Still, he's got his own skills, he's a very good doctor and he's good in a fight. And if it's the Joan Watson version she can give back Sherlock as good as he gives.
