Frankenstein Meme, Day 26

I dropped out of this lo, these many months ago, but I want to complete it, because I am linear beyond all hope of transcending linearity. So here goes, once more, with feeling.

A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom:

As a meme reentry, this one is difficult for me. I guess that any fic using tropes ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 25

A trope which you are virtually certain to love in any fandom.

Coming back to this meme after more than a bit of time away, and this is the first question I have to answer? Not fair, Frankenstein Meme, not fair!

It’s not fair because I can’t easily pinpoint tropes, either the ones I like or the ones I don’t, probably because ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 24

Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Oh, a few.

Harriet Jones didn’t die at the hands of Daleks in “The Stolen Earth”. She was too good, too smart, and too necessary to the Whoniverse, in my opinion, and I wrote my own little fixit about that.

(Interesting coincidence that I discovered while ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 23

A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

I don’t think I’ve ever abandoned a fandom, at least not as an adult.

Perhaps I grew away from the original Star Trek when it went off the air; does that count? I’d had a terribly intense crush on Spock (I think I’m in a fairly large club there), but it faded as I grew up. Not that I didn’t ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 22

Your rarest fandoms.

This one’s really easy. I think that “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension” would be the rarest. I consider it a fandom since I wrote a fic involving two of its central characters, and because I adore the movie and Earl Mac Rauch’s book (he also wrote the movie’s screenplay ( Read more... )

Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Goodness. That’s a tall order.

Frankenstein Meme, Day 21

In an attempt to keep my brain moving, and my journal as well, I've returned to the Frankenstein Meme. Go, me.

Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you dislike or even loathe.)

Well, we can swiftly exclude any version of ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 20

What fandom broke your heart?

No fandom has broken my heart. There are some stories within my chosen fandoms that have made me cry, but I assume this question has to do with members of the fandom, and not the creators, or the stories that comprise what I love in each fandom.

No? I’m wrong? OK ….

Frankenstein Meme, Day 19

Has social media caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Nope. I’ve never had to distance myself from people in any of my fandoms, and I am deeply grateful.

Of course there are folks out there in most fandoms, including a depressing number of mine, who are trolls, toxic assholes, misogynists, racists, ( Read more... )

Frankenstein Meme, Day 18

How many fandoms have you written for? How many have you been in, and how many are you still in?

I’m still in all the fandoms for which I’ve written, with the exception of a couple for which I wrote three-sentence fics in the Three Sentence comment ficathon.

(Those include Narnia, The Expanse, and Leverage. All three are ( Read more... )
