Sinpozium survey

[erilyn]

Before we all meet (or meet again) in June, it'd be great if we could get to know each other a bit better. It really helps a lot for planning purposes, in terms of knowing popular fandoms and what people are familiar with etc. Feel free to skip points that aren't applicable or anything you don't want to answer, of course.

2011 survey and 2012

Preferred name/handle: Erilyn or Lyn

Alternate usernames: erilyn @ lj and dw, erilyn-oz @ tumblr

Location: Sydney

Current main fandom(s) : Teen Wolf and Person of Interest.
[Other shows I’m watching (but not really seeking fic for) - Elementary and Arrow. Show I’ve ragequit but am still kind of in fandom - Glee. Show I’m watching though barely remember to (bad sign) - Dr Who. Fandom that will probably be more back into by Sinpoz, depending on how much I love Iron Man 3 - Marvel movie-verse.]

Other significant fandom(s) : X-Files, Babylon 5, Sentinel, Highlander, Star Wars, Trek, Bandom, Popslash, Stargate (original and Atlantis), Smallville, Professionals, Buffy-verse, Supernatural, Due South, Sports Night, West Wing, Magnificent 7 (tv show), Queer as Folk, Harry Potter, various gay soap opera pairings, Sherlock, Jurassic Park 3, Fast and Furious, now I'm just gonna list fandoms names at random...Eroica, Lord of the Rings, American Idol, House, Once A Thief...

What was your first fandom? : First fandom I actually started getting involved in was Babylon 5, first slash fandom was X-Files (I ran out of gen and het Krycek fic to read, so checked out this slash thing, cause I'd been under the mistaken impression it involved cutting and bloodplay and violence - as this was XF fandom, I wasn't entirely wrong).

Fanworks/fan activities: reading (and leaving insufficient feedback), watching vids, co-organising Sinpoz, boggling at fanart (cause I can’t even draw stick figures well).

Tell us anything about yourself: if I could only have 1 superpower, I think I’d go with flight? I’ve certainly become very flighty about drifting away from tv shows, going by the difference between my 2012 and 2013 survey answers. Terry Pratchett is one of my all-time favourite authors, as is Georgette Heyer. I support an underperforming rugby team :( I have intense weakness for accidental/arranged marriage/pretend dating tropes and outing/coming out fic. I like cocktails and fruity ciders.
