Poll Viewing vs Fandom Involvement No really, answer the poll. I want to know how old I am around here. Lately I feel Of The Ancient Times.

I'm assuming that by "start watching show" you mean start watching live. I watched the earlier seasons in order over a year or so, but the first episode I saw live was 5.11. I was lurking in fandom through the latter half of season five, but I didn't write my first fic till early May, when we were almost up to the finale already.

Yes, watching live. I have introduced tons of people to show by letting them mainline my DVDs - I have s1 out on loan as we speak. :)

Hah, me too. In fact, last year I made it my personal mission to convert my office, and now fully half of them AND their spouses watch Show because of me. \o/

[tahirire]

ME TOO! *highfive*

We practically close early on Fridays now. :)

[ratherastory]

My office watches on with amused tolerance as I lose my shit every time I have to work on a Friday night.

Coworker A: "What the hell is up with Daphné? She's like a damn bouncing ball tonight."

Coworker B: "It's nine o'clock on a Friday."

Coworker A: "So what?"

Coworker B: "So she's missing Supernatural."

Me: "SHUT UP IT'S NOT FUNNY I AM MISSING SAM! AND DEAN! AND CAS' FAAAACE!"

*all coworkers mock me mercilessly*

[tahirire]

That's how I was. So I converted everyone. Now we all get out on effing time, thank-you-very-much. LOL.

I work shifts, so one Friday out of the month I have to be at work when Show is airing. And EVERYBODY hears about it.

"OH MY GOD I AM MISSING SHOW IT'S THE END OF THE WOOOOOORLD AND I WON'T KNOW HOW THE APOCALYPSE HAPPENS UNTIL TOMORROW!"

Then there is more mocking. None of my coworkers have reached my level of really unhealthy obsession, nor are they part of fandom in any way. That's probably a good thing, because I don't know how I would even begin to explain the kind of fic I write. ;)

[ratherastory]

That's the first episode I saw live too! *twirls you*

[de_nugis]

It's actually close to being my least favorite Spn episode. Good thing I was already utterly, hopelessly addicted.

[ratherastory]

Same here. It started beautifully and then degenerated into... yeah. Anyway. A disappointing first live experience, but by then I was so hooked that I stayed on anyway. :D
