FFA friending meme

[cloudsinvenice]

Hi gentlefailers,

By mildly popular request, here's a  fail_fandomanon   friending meme! I'm cross-posting it to DW and LJ, and there's also an official Tumblr post here: http://failfandomanon.tumblr.com/post/50880814316/fail-fandomanon-friending-meme-you-asked-for-it

Answer only the ones you want to, and add anything else you think should be there. I just ran with the enthusiasm and didn't want to spend forever making up questions and miss the moment, so feel free to add anything else you think should be there/questions nobody's ever asked that you'd love to answer.

Friend away!

Current fandoms
Inception, Loveless, Utena, Kuroshitsuji, Maiden Rose, Vorkosigan Saga, tiny sf/f book canons (Alliance-Union, Takeshi Kovacs, The Culture, Bel Dame Apocrypha, His Dark Materials, The Administration, etc.)
Past fandoms Not actively posting about, but interested in
Hannibal, A Song of Ice and Fire, Durarara, Suits, Ghibli films, mythologies and fairy tales, science fiction as a genre

Favourite FFA threads
The ones where nonnies try to apologize for tl;dr geeking out, because it's as good an indicator as any that there I am, eating up every delicious word. Canon discussions, or any thread that offers an excuse to go on about a canon I love (or even better, gives someone who can articulate a point instead of haplessly circling around it a reason to...). Civil disagreements about The Right Way to Do Fandom. Anime/manga threads in general, as I'm a recent transplant from Western fandoms. Poetry.
You'd love to have more conversations about
The tiny fandoms we might share: Watsonian interpretations and headcanons, bolts of inspiration we can or can't write, things we adore beyond explanation and things that sometimes bother us. Meta, both fandom-specific and about fandom and our thought processes in general, from "you wrote an essay, I coo over it" to "we casually discuss/argue about for thirty comments a tangent of contention from an unrelated post, cackling in delight all the way". [Your area of competence or interest], applied in a fannish context. Narrative kinks and conventions. Cultural influence.

What your journal's like
90% fannish flail (media reactions, textspam, occasional meta, occasional fic, occasional recs), here and there a locked snippet of offline life

Friending dealbreakers
devotion to ideological perfection over the good, the compelling, and the constructive
_{And if you're an ardent member of the Evangelical Right, we may not be good for each other.}
Some other things about you
"Over"analysis and "over"long expressions of fannish joy make my heart grow. I gravitate toward worldbuilding that convinces us the universe is not our own and intense ambiguous relationships between characters who exemplify "very fucked up, broken by some standards, but still here"; femslash potential and female characters who rewrite the rules when practical are also excellent inducements to read/watch something. You're welcome, but of course not obligated, to tell me when I'm asdfghjkl look wrong!, and everything is on topic if you're talking with me. :D
In case this is your dealbreaker, the length of time it takes me to reply has lately ascended to stratospheric heights, and can only be explained by my personal issues-- it isn't your fault at all, sorry. ♥

Hello, fellow Maiden Rose nonnie! I am also a general anime/manga fan, an avid reader of sf/f, someone who is given to going overboard in my written fannish discussions, and a lover of screwed-up but undeniable relationships. Also, I'm currently watching Utena and I plan on starting the Vorkosigan Saga shortly (I have to finish my current library load first, though that might take a while, HOW DID I MANAGE TO PICK UP TEN RIDICULOUSLY LONG BOOKS). Also also, I don't really put myself out there much online, I'm a total lurker normally OH LOOK BRAND NEW DW ACCOUNT, but you look cool. I'd like to shoot the breeze with you.
