Q4: What are the origins of your penname/username?

On DW - my daughter's favourite toy (depicted in the userpic). On LJ? Well I wasn't that familiar with the concept of pseudonymity when I signed up...

1. What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
   
2. Your newest fandom.
   
3. You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?
   
4. What are the origins of your penname/username?
   
5. What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?
   
6. What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it? Not necessarily your oldest fandom, but a fandom that you started and still continue to read/write/create content for in some way.
   
7. What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
   
8. Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
   
9. What's the hardest thing about writing, and why are titles the Worst™?
   
10. Do you have a fandom that you follow - either regularly or casually - with little to no knowledge of canon?
    
11. Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
    
12. A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
    
13. Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?
    
14. A pairing - platonic, romantic or sexual - that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
    
15. What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?
    
16. Do you remember your first OTP? Who was in it?
    
17. What is your favourite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
    
18. How many fandoms have you written for? How many have you been in, and how many are you still in?
    
19. Has social media caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
    
20. What fandom broke your heart?
    
21. 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.)
    
22. Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
    
23. Your rarest fandoms.
    
24. A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
    
25. Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
    
26. A trope which you are virtually certain to love in any fandom.
    
27. A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
    
28. How did you first get into fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote fic for?
    
29. Have you ever tried to write for a fandom or ship, and found you couldn’t?
    
30. Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
