Registration survey (aka getting to know each other)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Before we all meet (or meet again) at Sinpozium, we think it’d be great if we could all get to know each other a bit better (we're totally ripping off get__together). Plus it’ll help in planning, in terms of knowing popular fandoms etc. Feel free to skip not applicable points, of course.

Please reply in the comments to this post.

Preferred name/handle: what do you want people to call you?

Alternate usernames: if you have multiple journals/pseuds/handles

Location: Since this is an unlocked post, feel free to skip this or be vague, as you prefer.

Current main fandom(s): what fandom(s) are you actively involved in? Whether you determine that by what you’re reading more fic in, what are you watching, what are you most attached to currently?

Other signficant fandom(s): what are your past fandoms (whether you’ve broken up with them, drifted away, or just not spending as much time on) or otherwise significant fandoms for you?

What was your first fandom?: How did you get sucked into this crazy world?

Fanworks/fan activities: do you write, vid, create artwork, do recs, volunteer in fannish organisations?

Tell us something about yourself: what’s your favourite colour? who’s the best captain in Starfleet/your favourite Doctor? what’s the most unlikely fandom you’ve ever gotten involved in? have you ever accidentally stalked a celebrity?

Optional pre-coded headings for your reply:

Gippsland in Vic? Represent if you are :) Because I'm from the Latrobe Valley and have never met another fan in even the remote vicinity!

Yay! I live near Sale, though I'm actually in the UK right now. And like you I've never come across another fan, let alone a slash fan, in the area... though there must surely be more out there...

My best friend (who lives in Hernes Oak, just outside of Moe/Newborough) is a different kind of slasher. More of a secret lurker than an out there flag-waving shipper like I suspect we are :)

So yes, Gippsland slashers probably exist in more quantity. They are just underground :D

I've told precisely two people locally exactly what it is I write... One was startled but enthusiastic, the other couldn't quite believe her eyes!
