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?

Preferred name/handle: Erilyn

Location: Sydney

Current main fandom(s): Glee, Soaps (As the World Turns, One Life to Live, some others), Sherlock, Who-verse, Inception, starting to dip my toe into Hawaii 5-0. Other shows that I'm watching (but not necessarily involved in fannishly so much) include NCIS (Original Flavour and Extra Gay LA), White Collar, Bones, Criminal Minds, and Castle.

Other signficant fandom(s): X-Files, Babylon 5, Sentinel, Highlander, Star Wars, Trek, Bandom, Popslash, Stargate (original and Atlantis), Smallville, Professionals, Buffy-verse, Supernatural, Due South, Sports Night, West Wing, Magnificent 7 (tv show), Queer as Folk, Harry Potter. This is not an exhaustive list, but I need to stop somewhere.

What was your first fandom?: First fandom I actually started getting involved in was Babylon 5, first slash fandom was X-Files (I ran out of gen and het Krycek fic to read, so checked out this slash thing, cause I'd been under the mistaken impression it involved cutting and bloodplay and violence - as this was XF fandom, I wasn't entirely wrong).

Tell us something about yourself: Four was the Doctor of my childhood, picking between Nine/Ten/Eleven is just too hard. Many, if not most, of my major fandoms of the last few years have involved music. I've been involved with Sinpozium since the first one. I like to take short walks on the beach (I'd rather swim), fruity cocktails and stories where people wake up accidentally married.

I'm glad I'm not the only n00b that once thought slash involved horror!

I've seen a worse misunderstanding - a girl joined an Aussie slash group thinking it was for self-harmers /o\
