Fannish end of the year meme

Gacked from musesfool:

Your main fandom of the year?

I'll go with X-Files because I actually wrote/finished fic from that fandom this year. And watched the movie multiple times. A scary number of times, actually, considering the quality, but eh. When you're on a trans Atlantic flight of 16 hours in duration, on-demand video is your friend

Your favorite ( Read more... )

Would you be willing to talk more about how "Slumdog Millionaire" struck home for you? I was very much captivated by the film, but wasn't sure how to interpret some of it; the buzz I am hearing from Indians and Indian-Americans about it makes me want to hear more. If it's sensitive for some reason, though, no worries.

I had lunch with rocky_t yesterday, and one topic of conversation was your general awesomeness. :)

Would you be willing to talk more about how "Slumdog Millionaire" struck home for you? Sure. It's hard to explain, but I just got back from India and a week after my return, we went to the see the movie and there were some things that I had seen in India that had disturbed me greatly while I was over there and then the movie just made it that much harder to accept. And y'know, I expected to be hardened to it, just because it's not unexpected and it's something I've always known and seen in India. The movie made it that much worse ( ... )

Thanks -- I definitely understand what you're saying. It had never occurred to me that children might be deliberately hurt/crippled/blinded by those wanting to take advantage of them; that was by far the most horrifying part of a movie that had its share of horrifying moments. I know it has to be a thousand times more disturbing in person.

Rocky and I wished you were there. If you're ever in NYC at the same time -- or if you ever wing through on your own -- let me know.

Will do. The Fiance still works for Very Big Publishing Company and they're transferring him to a new project that might require monthly trips to NYC; I may tag along on one of those trips as I have lots of family in NJ and it's been about 5 years since I've been to NYC. We'll set something up :-)
