Fandom Garden Party

[bop_radar]

Certain among us have decided that the days are very languid of late, so in an effort to invigorate our local community and inspire a sense of festivity, we have decided to hold a Fandom Garden Party. Starting immediately and lasting for a week. (Well, there's no point in doing things by halves, right? *waves 1930s cigarette holder airily*) All

Fannish Background
Name: Imaan
Age: 16. ... Yes, I'm absurdly young. *sigh*
Main fandom(s): Naruto, Smallville, Avatar: tLA, and Heroes.
Favourite characters and/or ships: Clark and Naruto are my absolute favorite characters at the moment, and mainly I ship Clark/Lex and Neji/Naruto. I also have an odd liking for Claire.
Least favourite characters/ships/shows: I hate most of the ships in Heroes. And I hate all the random ships in Kingdom Hearts, but that's okay! I hate Kingdom Hearts fandom in general. *beam*
What you post on LJ: Fannish rambling and art. I whine/squee about life sometimes, too.
Other fandoms or fannish interests: Death Note, Dragonball (stfu), Harry Potter (stfux2), Ouran Koukou Host Club, Prison Break (lost interest), Transformers (movie only), various other movies, anime/manga, shows, and books.
Interested in meeting: :/ I don't know. People? I'm... usually pretty intimidated by non anime/manga fandoms because the people in them seem a lot older (and less stupid, tg), and, I don't know, I want to maybe try talking/

Welcome! *offers you nibblies*

I hate most of the ships on Heroes too. It's not a shippy show for me at all. I have a love-hate affair with it at the best of times. But shipping in that fandom, I am not inclined to do.

[nilladriel]

*eats the nibblies* Why thank you :D

Agreed! I get pathetically teary-eyed whenever I come across
good genfic, just 'cause it's so rare. It's kind of turning me off the fandom, 'cause, yeah, some of the ships are just so BIZARRE to me.

[bop_radar]

*sigh* I'm a big fan of well-written genfic. There's not enough of it!

[attaccabottoni]

I've been meaning to ask you (after lurking about your journal and recs), is your slash-exclusivity of sorts a particular preference given your fandoms, or you're primarily a slash reader in general?

(I've been meaning to catch up on your posts, but, alas, college ate my brain. *sighs*)

[bananainpyjamas]

*sneaks in* Oh I so do not have the time to be doing this. But what the hell.

Mine is so long. Once I start listing "favorites" it's hard for me to stop.

[attaccabottoni]

You're dragonchic! I love your "It's Not Over" vid!

I've been shamefully remiss at feedback to vidders, because I only watch in my computer during weekends and I tend to forget where I downloaded the vids in the first place, even for prolific vidders like you! *facepalms* Will rectify that in the future.

Oh, and uh, hello! *waves sheepishly* I couldn't help remarking that seeing your username (and that icon) around LJ always makes me grin (B1 and B2 remind me of childhood summer couch potato-ing.)

[bananainpyjamas]

Hi! No need to apologize about the feedback; I'm surprised I was even recognized. Thanks for the kind words!

Hee, in some ways I wish I could have snagged dragonchic since it would eliminate a lot of confusion, but I'm quite attached to this username and its namesakes. :D Although people do sometimes chime in to tell me I've spelled "pyjamas" wrong...bah! It's an Australian show, so I'll honor the original spelling thankyouverymuch.

Fannish Background
Name: attaccabottoni I know typing my username is a little tricky, but I rarely use my nickname as an otaku/anime fan (Kitsune) of late.
Age: 22
Main fandom(s): Smallville! While tiptoeing the DC universe!
Favourite characters and/or ships: Lex Luthor, Clark "BDA" Kent, Lionel "MB" Luthor; Clark/Lex (canon), Chloe/Lex (het OTP), Lex/Lana (ex-pairing that I haven't let go of yet)
Fangirl crushes from other fandoms: Dean Winchester (SPN), Spike (BtVS, AtS), Sirius Black (HP), Obi-Wan Kenobi (SW), Gil Grissom (CSI)
Least favourite characters/ships/shows: No one/nothing has made me turn off my television (yet).
What you post on LJ: mostly links, squee-age/reactions, my version of humor, a handful of recs/fannish-oriented introspection, and the occasional fannish contribution (icons/meta/fanmixes/picspams/fanfics). ^^;;;
Other fandoms or fannish interests: Supernatural, House, Num3rs, and Dexter are my other ongoing TV loves. I lurk in all of them, as well as my other not-so-active fandoms in my LJ interests.

Re: *Tries to break ice*

[attaccabottoni]

BDA: Big Dumb Alien (TM someone else in fandom), used an affectionate term like Lionel's Magnificent Bastard. ^_^

I didn't include CSI in my fandoms because the show has never failed to satisfy my need for Grissom and Lady Heather gen. *grins* It's really more of me being too lazy to seek out what the entirety of its fandom has to offer, so I don't get the pleasure of knowing these rare gems called "Grissom-centered fanfics." I've only read a handful of gen/het ( The Wall by theohara and Grissom fics by Wintertime), some Gil/Nick (all CSI fics by janissa11 and Silk, Silk, Silk by Anne Higgins), and some Gil/Greg (some fics by Kat Reitz and Tzigane and Full Moon by Pet). My fondest wish would be for an "All Grissom All the Time" kind of website or LJ comm instead of ship-oriented sites/comms, for general Grissom discussion and love.

If you meant recent, as in Season 6-7 recent, I'm afraid I haven't spotted Grissom fic of late. (They're as elusive as the Miniature Killer!)
