Sinpozium survey

[erilyn]

Before we all meet (or meet again) in June, it'd be great if we could get to know each other a bit better. It really helps a lot for planning purposes, in terms of knowing popular fandoms and what people are familiar with etc. Feel free to skip points that aren't applicable or anything you don't want to answer, of course.

2011 survey and 2012

Preferred name/handle: alasen

Alternate usernames: alasen on DW, various other social networking sites. except tumblr, dammit, where i am mirroralasen. late adopter! :(

Location: Sydney.

Current main fandom(s) : Teen Wolf, still reading the odd Hockey RPF & Marvel Avengers Movies Universe. Watching a few different shows but not reading fic for them, which is how i tend to classify myself as being in a fandom.

Other significant fandom(s) : SGA, Popslash, due South, ummm. I tend to read a lot in various fandoms, particuarly AUs, but wouldn't always call them significant.

What was your first fandom? : Sailor Moon was the first fandom I read in, mostly het-romance, followed by whatever anime i could get my hands on at the time. Slash was Smallville, then various media fandoms which I will probably never ever watch the shows for.

Fanworks/fan activities: I read, I rec via pinboard bookmarks. I recently did some fancrochet! I have vidded a long time ago but am unlikely to again, except in my head. I'm a tag wrangler for the

Poor lonely Lyn, I'll keep you company.

Preferred name/handle: Victoria

Alternate usernames: arysteia absolutely everywhere

Location: Wellington

Current main fandom(s): Avengers, X-Men: First Class, X-Factor (the comic, not the goddamn reality show)

Other significant fandom(s): Smallville, DC Comics (but fuck you very much), Supernatural, Classical RPF

What was your first fandom?: Erm, that I dressed up and went to themed parties? -- Robin of Sherwood. That I went to a con? -- Doctor Who (original). That I followed obsessively online? -- The X-Files. That I published (as opposed to hid) fic for? -- Smallville.

Fanworks/fan activities: writer, reader

Tell us anything about yourself: I watch very little television indeed currently, and this disappoints me. If I could magically make the MCU a tv show (but with movie budgets) I would and then I'd never need another. I love mpreg and knotting and alpha/omega, but only the good ones seriously and the terrible ones ironically, mwahahaha. When I watch Mad Men I sometimes

Sentinel crossovers

DEAD TO ME! SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR (YOU DON'T EVEN RATE THE COUCH)!

[arysteia]

Whatever. I fear no evil as long as I have spinach pie and comics adjacency updates and the love of your parents and seafood Yum Cha.

[arysteia]

I should have added that I run get__together, the sister/daughter (concest!!!) con in Wellington, and you should totally think about visiting that one of these years, if you like taking long weekends.

[nu_breed]

Preferred name/handle: nu_breed but Yvette is fine :)

Alternate usernames: I'm nubreed73 on Tumblr

Location: Sydney

Current main fandom(s) : Merlin, but taking a nostalgic trip through Supernatural (The first five seasons only, duh)

Other significant fandom(s) : SPN, Popslash, Smallville, LoTRips and Jossverse

What was your first fandom? : Well, technically it was Twin Peaks - no online presence but BIG obsession. Online fandom would have been Roswell followed closely by BTVS.

Fanworks/fan activities: I write and read

Tell us anything about yourself: I deplore 'stan wars'. Seriously, is there anything more boring than hating on one main character/actor because you (generic you) love the other one? It drives me nuts. Ugh. Also, kink shaming makes me cranky.

[erilyn]

Were you ever on fanforum.com during your Roswell/BTVS era?

(I don't know if SPN is a good healing fandom to soothe post-Merlin heartache, just sayin')

[nu_breed]

I was! And then I ended up on Mighty Big TV and discovered slash very quickly from there and... the rest as we say is history.

Ahahahaha. I know it's not. I am an angst-masochist. GIVE ME ALL THE FEELS. :D
