~. What's your name? Kat.
!. How old are you? Eighteen.
@. Girl, boy, other? Androgyne. (Have girl body; don't want it.)
#. Where do you live? United States.
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? I didn't grow up watching TV, so the only skating I saw was once in awhile at other people's houses. But I watched the 2006 Olympics and fell hard for Johnny Weir. A year later I began skating myself, and since then I have been following skating competitions closely.
%. Which skaters do you love best? Johnny Weir, Daisuke Takahashi, and Eliot Halverson. They are the Sparkly Trifecta.
^. ...anyone you just can't stand? Evan Lysacek can bite me even if he has the prettiest legs ever and I, like, wish I had his body. *cough* Don't worry, I don't hate Evan fans or anything. I think he's a brilliant skater, but I don't like his style. ...I do find him very attractive, however. Um. *scurry*

Ahaha, Sparkly Trifecta?! *loves you a little*

I do find him very attractive, however
Oh I know how you feel. I think Evan is kinda hot (when he shaves!) and he's tall, which I like, but he annoys me and I don't like his skating style.

It is now My Sport. I am one of the skating-breathers. XD
Me too, me too!

And you can already do running threes? :-o *is impressed* I haven't even tried those. What kind of spins can you do?
I'm so jealous that you have the opportunity to take proper skating lessons. They finally fucking opened one basic skating class for adults here, so I signed up for the advanced group, but the things we do aren't very advanced. One day, though, I'm gonna get myself a proper "coach". Shiny! ;)

I did like Carmen. THAT Carmen. The one from last year's Nationals that I'm still pretending never happened. But that was a damn good Carmen. Unfortunately, I've never liked any of his other programs except some exhibitions--because they are fun and dance-y with not so much frowning and airpunching. XD

[estriel]

Yes, that was a good Carmen, I agree. Though by that time, I was so fed up with Carmen that I couldn't even properly enjoy it. I think he skated two superb programs at last year's Nationals, though

@. Girl, boy, other? Female
#. Where do you live? Alberta, Canada
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? I'm pretty sure I must have been half-raised on the ice; I remember going to public skating at the local arena with my parents at about 5.... I took lessons for a few years and quit when I was 8; I go skating every week now and I'm planning on taking lessons again, hopefully in April, when the next set starts. I love watching skating; it's one of the few sports I actually care to watch.
%. Which skaters do you love best? I don't know any in particular.
^. ...anyone you just can't stand? N/A
&. Do you ship, write fic, or create art? If so, please include a link. Not for Figure skating, no.
*. Are you a skater? If so, for how long? What made you want to start? A few years of lessons around about 8 years, and the occasional (lately, more frequent) trip to the rink, because I love being on the ice.

cross-overs are my guilty pleasure

Y'know what would be awesome? If somebody wrote about, like, Harry Potter, Legolas, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Johnny Weir all entering a skating competition, and called the fic "Crossovers."

Hi! Since we only just became friends, I think I should fill this out. So you know who you’re dealing with . ;)

~. What's your name? Lucie, but most people call me Lucy
!. How old are you? 22
@. Girl, boy, other? I’m a girl.
#. Where do you live? Well. This is complicated. I’m originally from the Czech Republic. I currently live in Germany (have been living here since 1999). But, in about two weeks, I’m moving to Moscow, Russia, for four-five months.
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? I used to watch figure skating when I was a little girl. Back then, I mostly loved the ladies and pairs. Then we moved to Germany and Germany is definitely not the perfect place to live in terms of figure skating coverage... So I neglected my love for skating, until in 2006, shortly before the Olympics, a LJ friend of mine persuaded me to watch the men. (She lured me in with the slash! I actually thought men’s figure skating was lame.) And so I watched the men. And wow, I loved it - so much power

*waves*

I think you rock and I can't wait to read at least some of your stories. (Also, seems like we come from the same country. xD) Friends?

[estriel]

Oh yay! *friends you*

!. How old are you? 19
@. Girl, boy, other? Girl
#. Where do you live? California
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? Oh maaaan. I watched the 94 Olympics (I was like 5 or 6?) and fell in love with Alexei Urmanov. Then I fell in love with Michelle Kwan, and I basically was obsessed with girl's skating. But in 2006 I FELL HARD for Johnny Weir and have been into men's skating ever since.
%. Which skaters do you love best? Johnny Weir, Daisuke Takahashi, Eliot Halverson, Stephane Lambiel, and Jeremy Abbott. *giggles* As for the girls, I heart Yu-Na Kim.
^. ...anyone you just can't stand? Hmmmm....I don't really like Stephen Carriere's skating.
&. Do you ship, write fic, or create art? If so, please include a link. FIC!!!! Just look at my memories.
*. Are you a skater? If so, for how long? What made you want to start? *sigh* No. I want to learn, though. I just know I'm not fit enough for it at all.
+. What's your favourite element, whether you do it

[oudeteron]

~. What's your name? I can never decide what I'd like people to call me. Let's go with Alex for now.
!. How old are you? 19
@. Girl, boy, other? Open to suggestions (alright, joking), leaning towards male (not joking).
#. Where do you live? The Czech Republic. Want to get out because I loathe the re-elected president. (Are they sure the results can't still be annulled?)
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? I've liked figure skating since I can remember, but I only got interested in it for real in 2005 (I think) when I truly watched my way through the world championship. Since then, I've been following it with attention.
%. Which skaters do you love best? I'm always glad to find new skaters to admire, but my constant top favourites are Daisuke Takahashi and Johnny Weir. They're artists.
^. ...anyone you just can't stand? Joubert, mostly Lysacek. All technique and no style.
&. Do you ship, write fic, or create art? If so, please include a link. I'm kind of afraid to touch figure
