Chain Reaction
Yanno, being immersed in fandom tends to feed on itself. I mean, my entire flist (it felt like) was squeeing over Merlin all summer (thank you NBC!), and reading Spencer's The Faerie Queen first thing in my Ren Lit class was the tipping point for my curiosity. That was September. It is now the better part through November, and my own squee is not only still going strong...its started up a chain reaction into all my other fandoms...and then some!
List of things I want to [re]read/[re]watch thanks to Merlin and its awesome fanbase (in no particular order) is as follows:
Supernatural
Dr. Who
Stargate: Atlantis
Lord of the Rings
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Good Omens
Harry Potter
Star Wars
Star Trek (this is one of those re-feeder things, as I came across a lot of Merlin!squee through nuTrek!squee)
Smallville
Dresden Files
Buffy
Tin Man
Tenth Kingdom
Hetalia
&
(god help me) RPS
Classes I have failed due to this strange phenomenon? None YET.
I am bribing myself to get through homework tomorrow (my one free day a week) and during Thanksgiving "break" (yeah, riiiiight): Finish first draft for Film Adaptation = finish last three of available Merlin episodes. Every two backlogged response papers for Media Audiences (there are...ten *shameface*) = one HHG2G book. Article reviews for Ren Lit and last analysis paper for Adaptation = Two break periods of Tin Man with Izzy and whoever else from the Round Table who wants to join. Extra credit assignment for Documentaries = First edition Killing Time. Passing the semester = Bradley James moodtheme. LoTR is going to wait until winter break I'm afraid. Or at least until I'm caught up with everything. I'll probably break before then.
(Really this was just an excuse to knock my hypochondria off my front page. Also, The Queen Symphony http://www.imeem.com/artists/the_royal_philharmonic_orchestra/album/AHmHoQ2r/the-queen-symphony-album/ is all kinds of awesome. That is all. )
