I've tried to talk Bugs into it. But she doesn't want her life taken over completely by another pairing. I'll have to speak to her again. As if her life isn't already taken over with Bill and Laura...
How timely as I reflect on a year of fangirling, having joined LJ on this date last year.
How did I find A/R fandom? Before I finished watching the series, I knew I needed MORE A/R than the show was giving me. I found Survival Instinct and You Made Me Believe (and fortunately read almost all the fic on the latter right before it disappeared). Many months then passed before I found my way to LJ, I believe via bsgroxmysox's SI profile. I was delighted to find that stories I followed on SI, like the Adamsverse, were more quickly available on LJ
( ... )
I was googling the second I finished watching all of BSG! I was an LJ member already. I mainly followed the Devil Wears Prada fandom Miranda/Andy pairing. I suppose before that I did read other fanfic, Whoniverse (no particular pairing, gasp, it didn't even have to be romantic at all! innocent days!) and Jane Austen fanfics were the earliest stuff I read...!! pre-LJ days. Again really quite innocent
( ... )
My husband and I started watching BSG may 2011 and finished in October. After watching i Was so sad that I had missed it while it was on air!! I felt like a there was an obvious lack of closure for the Adams/ Roslin relationship... So did some google searches and found SI right away. I had NEVER heard of fan fiction before! My husband laughed when I told him what I had been reading and made a joke about Old People Sex! I've never read smutty novels, I think porn is icky and degrading... But OMG BSG smut is the best;) I think it's because we know the characters, even all the PWP has an implied plot!! Any way, I think I started reading on SI around sept/Oct 2011
Then took a little break... When I found the epic super long stories I was HOOKED! It was the angst/ smut combo that did me in;) I commented on one of bug's Fics in December an she sent me here:) I think I started really hanging out here in late janurary 2012
I was actually looking for more info about MM and EJO and had the old Mary McAwesome LJ site come up. I sort of found stuff after that. I didn't even know anything about fanfic either. Never heard of it. But, of course, once I started reading some, I immediately got a million ideas in my head too! Writing them down was the easy part. Posting them... *shudder* My first fics... Oh dear... *shudder* I had no idea what a beta even was! This is why I love LJ though. If you're on fanficnet and have no interaction with anyone, how do you find a beta? How do you realise you're writing crap! Ha!
Old people sex! Tell him to bite his tongue! a/r are the hottest couple evah!!!! The Oath Kiss? Hottest filmed kiss EVAH!!!!
We were watching other things too, and watching tv for us is a strictly kid free event Yea, the kids have seen parts here and there, but there was too many orgasms for our comfort:) (our kids watch tv, daughter loves h2o! (shudders)
No, bsg is not very child friendly. Even eppies that I think should be safe usually have *something*.
H20! LOL! I *may* have been subjected to watching that now and then... We went to Seaworld last holidays, where it's filmed. My daughter was SUCH a fangirl. 'Oh, there's the spot where Ricki did such and such. Look! I remember Lewis doing such and such just there in episode blah blah.' So funny. Then, I topped it all off by showing her where I used to live (not far away) and how the beach they use for their outdoor shots was only round the corner from where my unit was. 'Why can't we move back, Mum!?'
The only other online social site I am in is Facebook... I thinking have a twitter account (how the he'll do you read fic on twitter?)
I have read alittle on fanfic.net I just went to tumblr for the first time today. Someone else has my user name already! How rude is that? Lol I didnt see how I could look up any BSG fic on tumblr...
I read excusivly on my I-phone! I like the feel of LJ and would like to stay here... I might have to check out MM and EJO twitter feeds...
Edited: Just found my old twitter account! Mel_d_lew I did about 6 tweets in 2009;) I don't care if people here know who I am, but i really don't want random RL friends finding me here:) ROFL
I think twitter is just to chat between friends. I don't know. But I just IM and email people I'm friends with. I don't need to tweet. And I don't need to tell random people all my boring life. 'Just went to the shops. Excited much?'
Your iphone... *fretting for your eye sight*
Tumblr search engine is awful. I can't work it out either. Useless there.
