December meme

[arduinna]

Work is ramping up to ludicrously busy, Yuletide is nothing but bears, and I have backslid horribly into not posting unless I force myself to. So clearly it's time to do this.

At this point I suspect everyone has seen the setup a bunch of times, but just in case: pick a day (or ask me to pick it for you), and give me something to talk about. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, storylines, episodes, recs, etc. -- I think fic isn't supposed to be involved in this, but I'm also willing to consider comment-fic-type prompts, although no promises) to life-related to pizza preferences to whatever you want.

Answers may be brief or not, depending on the subject. Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don't feel equipped to meet.

Feel free to give multiple topics (with dates) if you want; it's not limited to one per person.


December:

01: too late!

02: terrio: probably too late! unless someone wants something short, fast What is your Platonic Ideal pizza? toppings, crust, deep-dish vs. flat, etc. (in under the wire!)

03: james: the first or one of the first people you encountered in fandom

04: dorinda: please talk about fanzines! For instance, maybe the first time you discovered them, your relationship to them, what you liked/didn't like about them, specific zines that might come to mind that were particularly good/interesting (or not)...just anything about zines that you care to share.

05: marginaliana: if you could commission the perfect piece of fiction, what would it be like?

06: torch: three characters in three different fandoms from your past that you have known and loved, max three paragraphs each (and minimum three sentences, I hope *g*). Pics would be lovely, of course. :)

07: eviltammy: cats! With mandatory pictures!

08: kass: reminisce about your first fandom. What did you love about it?

09: heresluck: Of all the vids you've made, which is the one where what you actually produced most closely matches what you wanted to do?

10: cesperanza: Why one vid a year, why??? How do you know what fandom? Is it compulsion? a list? the song?

11:

12: sholio: how about your favorite fannish trope? Or any one of them that you'd like to talk about. :)

13: princessofgeeks: How you came to compile your absolutely kickass and indispensable handbook for the Gateverse.

14:

15: justhuman: Tell me about Duke and Nathan and the fanservice that's gushing out of Haven

16:

17:

18: quarter_to_five: Fringe vs. Person of Interest (delayed a week for YT bears)

19: BEARS

20: BEARS

21: BEARS

22: BEARS

23: gwyn: How did you start vidding, what prompted you to make that first vid and say to yourself, we could do this? How did you start vidding with therienne? Was it like a magic moment of creation for you both, or did one of you have to convince the other? (delayed for YT bears)

24: BEARS

25: BEARS

26: BEARS

27: marycrawford: Pick a day for The One That Got Away: talk about a vid that you (with or without Therienne) wanted to make, but for some reason, it didn't work out. A head-vid can be a beautiful thing too, so help us see it!

28: mollyamory: Build your perfect fannish show (we have the technology!) out of all the things you love in fannish shows, and tell me how the main pairing would develop and progress.

29:

30: astolat: Talk to me about Harold/John! Especially Harold/John right now! (I totally want help with my own rowing.)


31: rhi: Yuletide story/ies you had no idea you wanted to read?

[justhuman]

Any Date - Tell me about Duke and Nathan and the fanservice that's gushing out of Haven

Possibly you want to wait because the mid-season finale is around the corner. Possibly you want to do it early because the mid-season finale is around the corner ;-)

[arduinna]

OMG, trying to pick a date for this was keeeling me. But I am going for post-season, just because. <3 <3 <3 <3

[sholio]

Dec. 12 - how about your favorite fannish trope? Or any one of them that you'd like to talk about. :)

[torch]

December 6 -- three characters in three different fandoms from your past that you have known and loved, max three paragraphs each (and minimum three sentences, I hope *g*). Pics would be lovely, of course. :)

[quarter_to_five]

December 18 - Fringe vs. Person of Interest

[princessofgeeks]

How you came to compile your absolutely kickass and indispensable handbook for the Gateverse.

[kass]

Any date you want: reminisce about your first fandom. What did you love about it?

[rhi]

Yuletide story/ies you had no idea you wanted to read?

[dorinda]

Dec. 4 (or anytime you like, but I thought it would be handy to get that early spot filled in): please talk about fanzines! For instance, maybe the first time you discovered them, your relationship to them, what you liked/didn't like about them, specific zines that might come to mind that were particularly good/interesting (or not)...just anything about zines that you care to share.

[gwyn]

23rd: How did you start vidding, what prompted you to make that first vid and say to yourself, we could do this? How did you start vidding with therienne? Was it like a magic moment of creation for you both, or did one of you have to convince the other?

[heresluck]

Dec. 09: Of all the vids you've made, which is the one where what you actually produced most closely matches what you wanted to do?

[marycrawford]

Ooo, fun. Pick a day for The One That Got Away: talk about a vid that you (with or without Therienne) wanted to make, but for some reason, it didn't work out. A head-vid can be a beautiful thing too, so help us see it!

This is presuming that you have vid projects that are definitely, truly abandoned, and that you're not still secretly hoarding songs and clips for. XD

[mollyamory]

December 17: Build your perfect fannish show (we have the technology!) out of all the things you love in fannish shows, and tell me how the main pairing would develop and progress.

[astolat]

haha I know you just did this big POI/Fringe post but it made me want more! Talk to me about Harold/John! Especially Harold/John right now! (I totally want help with my own rowing.)

Any remaining day you like. :D
