I'm coming up at eleven with technicalities. Which are yours?

Star Trek, fantasy sports leagues (I was in a fantasy hockey league once because the fannish BBS I was on had one, but I never really paid much attention to it), Wikipedia editing, Joss Whedon, the Simpsons, Doctor Who, cosplay on a very vague technicality because I don't actually cosplay but sometimes buy things on account of they are evocative of fannish-type characters (like my grey cloak and my pinstriped blazer), and fanfic. Now that I think about it Michael Jackson shouldn't count at all because I liked him in the mid-eighties when everyone did and am certainly not interested in him now, because ew.

Hmm, I've been involved with 8 to some extent. Fanfic and Trek being the big two.

Off-topic in the extreme ... but am about to send a professionally-themed e-mail to the address on your LJ profile. So if you see something from nnicola@uchicago, it's me.
