Past Fandoms: They're all pretty much the same.

Favourite season Spring here. Fall other places.

What you are looking for in a friend: Somebody willing to share their life, people who don't constantly crave drama, honesty. People who are just as interested in me as I am in them. I don't like kids, but as long as you have a life outside of them, I'm willing to make friends, I don't skip posts just because they're about children, either. Just don't try to force them down my throat. I'm open to any religion, any political party, as long as - again - you don't try to force them on me.

Age: 32
Location: Teesside, UK
Five things you think are awesome: The internet, the BBC, chocolate, tea, myself.
Three major dislikes: The mouse that has been lurking in my kitchen for the past week, the Daily Mail, not being able to think of things to say in friending memes.

Current Fandoms: Probably the only things I'd say as far as fandoms go are Avengers & Doctor Who. This is tricky to answer as I'm not really a fandom person, at least in online terms - I don't read or write fanfic or make graphics or ship people or join communities. There's plenty of stuff I enjoy, & will talk about with people & maybe squee about on my DW or Twitter, but I'm not really a part of a collective group of fans & I don't really do anything beyond thinking it's cool. Things I enjoy & you may or may not see me squee about: Adventure Time, Devil May Cry, Dir en grey, Downton Abbey, Elementary, Nena, Tokio Hotel, Top Gear.
Things you like about these fandoms: (ships, characters etc. etc.) IDK how to answer this. Why I like something & what in particular about something is enjoyable depends on what that thing is & what it's supposed to do. I like interesting characters who aren't doormats & that I don't have the urge to punch in the face. I may or may not have a sliiiight Loki obsession.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: ~~Thor~~ Loki: The Dark World. Also Iron Man 3.
Book you are most looking forward to seeing this year: I don't really pay attention to book releases much - I just sort of browse around when I do have the money & I've cleared my to-read list (currently 9 books deep) & see what is around. I think Mitch Benn (an awesome comedian) has written a book & that's coming out this year.
TV Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: DOCTOR WHO 50TH ANNIVERSARY! Also next serious of Downton Abbey. Interested in that The Face thing.

Hobbies Reading, travelling (when I can afford it), faffing around on the computer, baking, watching TV, going to the cinema, following UK politics.
Favourite food Chocolate.

What you are looking for in a friend: People I have some things in common with, who are at least reasonably active. Awesome geeky people.

Your name: Cloudsinvenice
Age: 31
Location: UK
Five things you think are awesome: Long meta discussions, cats, crafts, museums, charity shops.
Three major dislikes: Bullying, the Tories (that could really be merged with the first one) and wasps.

Current Fandoms: Vampire Chronicles, Harry Potter, The Police, A Song of Ice and Fire (about to start book 2), Sherlock Holmes (so far I've failed to read the canon but haven't met an adaptation or continuation I didn't enjoy), Code Name Verity, Gentlemen Bastards series, Avengers, Farscape.
Past Fandoms: They're never past in the sense that I'll turn down a nice convo about them (especially if a new book/series happens), but: Lives of the Mayfair Witches, The Dark Tower, His Dark Materials, Being Human, Terminator, Chronicles of Narnia, Fiction Plane.
Things you like about these fandoms: (ships, characters etc. etc.) I'll ship anything in the Vampire Chronicles but love Marius/Pandora, Lestat/Louis, Gabrielle/Eleni, Lestat/Daniel and Armand/Daniel. In both that and Harry Potter I just love a good discussion about the canon, fanon and people's headcanons, and the various historical/real-life contexts the books involve. That's pretty much my approach to most fandoms, really, and I seem to lean more towards book fandoms because it's rare for me to watch a TV show when it's aired, so sadly I'm not often in a position to join the latest episode squee over American TV fandoms. In three years' time when I have the secondhand DVDs, OH, THE BELATED SQUEE THAT WILL ENSUE. :P Farscape is the current example.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Iron Man 3.
Book you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Elizabeth Wein's companion novel to Code Name Verity. Can't find a title online!
Tv Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: I'm hoping for airdates for season 5 of Being Human to pop up soon.

Hobbies Crafts, photography, cinema, theatre, learning to code, obsessing over various historical/literary periods/figures and going to museums.
Favourite season Autumn.
Favourite food Cheese. Mild cheddar, to be specific.

What you are looking for in a friend: Someone who, like me, wants to get to know people as friends beyond fandom, and enjoys long comments/digressions. Some of the best discussions I've had on DW/LJ have had very little to do with the original post topic, so I'm relaxed about people going, "Ooh, that reminds me of..." and mutually enjoyable rambles ensuing.

I would rather you didn't use slurs like "retard" and "spaz" - I'm disabled and there's enough bigotry offline without encountering it in fandom. (This applies to slurs and -isms in of other sorts too, but I find fandom people are good about this stuff in general; there's just less knowledge about disability than some other issues.)

I have no problem with people posting about personal issues, health worries, family drama etc. (I do it myself, and besides, I'm interested in your life, not just your fic), but if you're on some sort of epic drug-induced path to self-destruction I'll have to back away - I've encountered too much of that in rl recently and I just can't watch people destroy themselves or others.

The optional gif part: I have no gif to give! But if I did it would probably be of a cat doing something ridiculous. Or some sort of Lestat/Louis altercation.

Your name: Katrin
Age: 30
Location: Europe
Five things you think are awesome: Uhm. My friends. The city lights outside my window. Tea. All my shows. The fact that there's a package waiting for me at the post office tomorrow morning. XD
Three major dislikes: Dishonesty, prejudice, bigotry.

Current Fandoms: MANY. Main fandoms, aka the ones I actually participate in, are Supernatural, Bones, Doctor Who/Torchwood, The Avengers, Teen Wolf and The Hunger Games.
Past Fandoms: Don't even get me started. I've been fangirling away for more than fifteen years now, things tend to accumulate during such a long and storied carrier. Hehe.
Things you like about these fandoms: YOU ASK THE WORST QUESTIONS. Ahem. Favorites are Dean Winchester and Temperance Brennan. Currently OTP-ing Dean/Castiel, always OTP-ing Jack/Ianto. Permanently drowning in Stilinski feels.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Warm Bodies.
Book you are most looking forward to reading this year: Hmm, I don't know yet.
TV Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: ALL OF THEM. They're my babies, I miss them all the second the go off-screen and wait impatiently for their return. One thing I do know, though, is that the Fringe finale is going to break me.

Hobbies: Writing. /lame
Favourite season: Fall. Also spring, but I get hay fever, so that spoils the fun a bit.

Your name: Kassie.
Age: 23 on 18th February.
Location: Southeast Michigan.
Five things you think are awesome: fan-meta (both about fandom itself and about fandom's source texts), badass ladies being badass, used books with notes in the margins, "Soft Kitty" (I don't really watch TBBT, but I love that song), intersectional feminism. …also, hurt/comfort and all the parts when Dean Winchester cries.

Three major dislikes: passive-aggression and concern-trolling, forced redemption storylines (especially the ones that really feel out of character and end up shaming characters into agreeing with the narrative), when AO3 and tumblr go into downtime mode.

Current Fandoms: Adventure Time, Community, Doctor Who, Elementary, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Rupaul's Drag Race, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Star Trek (TOS & DS9), Supernatural, Teen Wolf.

Past Fandoms: Harry Potter, BBC Sherlock (I still dabble a little bit, but not that much), Sailor Moon (I still love it but don't as actively do fandom stuff anymore, but I had my fair share of original character sailor senshi, most of whom were lost when Geocities died), Glee (we broke up, but despite myself, I still care about my favorite characters), Firefly.

Things you like about these fandoms: WELL. UHM. I have a convenient list of ships over here. In general, I tend to have a love/hate relationship with these fandoms' ladies and how they get treated (in that I love them, but hate how they get treated by their respective texts and by fandoms alike). Dean Winchester and Lydia Martin are my favorite favorite characters at the moment, but if I had to put together a top ten, it'd go (in no particular order and exempting them): Scott McCall, Bela Talbot, Castiel, Julian Bashir, Martha Jones, Abed Nadir, Akemi Homura, Pinkie Pie, Santana Lopez, and either Spock or Garak, it depends on how I feel today.

…and I'm not a fan of wank, emotionally, but I find it interesting on an intellectual/academic level.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: uh. I don't know. I'm really bad at paying attention to movies. Seeing The Hobbit in theaters would be pretty cool, since the cam-rip I have has pretty squiffy image quality and the subtitles are in Spanish? (I took Spanish in high school, so some of them make sense, but I hardly think my Spanish teachers would think, "I could understand the Orcs" would constitute a good use of what they taught me, oops)

Book you are most looking forward to reading this year: probably one of the fandom studies books I got for Christmas, though I'd be hard-pressed to actually pick this one. I'm really interested in Jenkins's Textual Poachers, since it's a foundational text of fandom studies and everyone and their grandma's dog references it at some point, but the one about fanfiction in a literary context has been pretty interesting so far (though it also makes me want to go, "[citation needed]" pretty regularly… probably because of fandom biases, admittedly, but claims like, "gen is the most common type of fanfiction" need a citation, imo).

TV Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: oh gosh, I don't know. I was looking forward to Teen Wolf more before spoilers about the third season started leaking, but… I need to catch up on Elementary, and I'm looking forward to the scant spoilers I've seen there. Not least because they might indicate one of my general Holmes adaptation OTPs getting screen time together.

Hobbies: Well, I'm in graduate school (working on my Master's in women's and gender studies), so I'd say that, in that it takes up a lot of my time and energy (so, reading and paper-writing and things like that). Aside from that: writing fic, working on my original stuff (one of my writing resolutions for this year being to finish something original of a considerable length that might be publishable, with editing, a good spit and polish, etc.), doing preemptive research for my thesis (which I haven't even proposed yet, but… it's a fandom studies project about how egregious it is that fandom studies predominantly doesn't really pay attention to the voices of the people it purports to study, and examining the gap between what we as fans say about ourselves and what we do/say in the texts we create. i.e., I'm studying fandom as a culture and fanfiction as a cultural artifact, from an intersectional feminist lens).

Favourite season: winter, so I am really happy with all my snow and cold right now.
Favourite food: cheese, especially mozzarella.

What you are looking for in a friend: somebody to squee with, who doesn't mind me occasionally babbling about: a. real life shenanigans (usually of the, "finding a job is HARD, living with mental illnesses is also hard" variety), b. thoughts about my thesis, or c. thoughts about fic (both fannish and original) that I'm trying to write. …also, who doesn't entirely mind that sometimes, I just don't know what to say or if I'm allowed to say it, so I might be kind of socially awkward for a while.

The optional gif part:

Your name: wallflowerish
Age: 26
Location: An island in the Pacific Ocean.
Five things you think are awesome: internet, pit bulls (and just dogs in general), ripe persimmons, miniature versions of things, finding a pair of jeans that actually fit right.
Three major dislikes: motion sickness, crowds, irresponsible dog owners.

Current Fandoms: ASOIAF / Game of Thrones, Madoka Magica.
Past Fandoms: Too many to list. See my interests list.
Things you like about these fandoms: (ships, characters etc. etc.) I love a good story. ASOIAF - Arya, Tyrion, Brienne. Madoka Magica - the feeling of wanting to rip my heart out so I do not feel these feels anymore.
Note: I'm not really sure what fandom is. I think I just... like what I like? I don't read fanfiction or ship characters that aren't canon. I like seeing fan art when I come across it, and I like reading wiki pages. I don't have a fannish DW journal. The most I do is flail, claw at my face, roll around on the floor, and scream "I can't handle this!" at my husband, and then reblog a gif set or screencap on my tumblr.

Movie you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Star Trek, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Book you are most looking forward to seeing this year: Lately all I've been reading is ASOIAF, so I'm not aware of any other books that are coming out.
Tv Show you are most looking forward to seeing this year: The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, Community (kinda sorta?), Parks and Recreation.

Hobbies ...internet?..., reading, playing video games, watching shows, hanging out with my fur babies (a dog and a cat) and my husband.
Favourite season Autumn, which I miss because we don't really have seasons where I live.
Favourite food Filipino food, ramen, french fries with fancy sauce.

What you are looking for in a friend: People who are cool beans. Similar interests is a plus, but it's not necessary. Someone I can actually get to know and be friends with.
