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:
The Silmarillion/LoTR (but the former way more than the latter jsyk)
MCU (Cap side of things)
Downton Abbey, I guess
General fannish stuff.

Past fandoms: Doctor Who, Supernatural, Hornblower.

Favourite FFA threads: Bad advice, fic wangst threads, Yuletide wank (my flesh is weak), anthromorphic countrywank (USA/Mexico/Canada 4ever)

Favourite FFA critter: The seals, obviously.

Things you'd love to have more conversations about: Books, sci-fi, traveling, cooking, silly stuff

What your journal's like (personal/fannish/picspams/etc): A mix of the person, fannish, and meme-ish. I post fic fairly often, so head's up. Also, I tend to post a lot -- once it was every day, now it's a few times a week.

Friending dealbreakers: No eldritch horrors, please. Or extreme conservatism, I guess.

Some other things about you: how you spend your days, secret supervillain objectives, etc. Silly! If I told you, they wouldn't be a secret. I live my life in magnificent idleness. Well, not really...

Sites where you'd like to be added: If you add me on DW, could you also do that on LJ? I still end up checking my LJ flist more often.

Oh my god you wrote Fingon/Maedhros boarding school AU, I am adding you right now, if that's all right.

My self-pimp comment is here: http://cloudsinvenice.livejournal.com/35938.html?thread=207970#t207970 though I forgot to mention I also reallllly love Silmarillion fic (I also love LotR, but do not read fic for it, save the occasional Gimli/Legolas thing.)

[moetushie]

That's fine! :D

Oh god, I so agree about the pigeon. I physically flinched away from the screen when I first saw it. Unexpected pigeons are not okay!

I love LoTR a lot, but I can't seem to read fic for it (although I love Legolas/Gimli too) -- I guess the Silm has a lot more holes in it that fic gets at? Not with boarding AUs, maybe, but in other ways.

[somebraveapollo]

Oh, yessss, Silmarillion is more elliptic! For me, the difference is also that Silm is less, hmm, intertwined with the style of writing? Like, it's written in varying tones and there's always a storyteller's distance over it. So it's easier to write fic for it in any style - whereas, with LotR, the prose is very immediate and grand, and I have the need to imitate it but don't have the skill.

[moetushie]

Yeah, there's a distinct advantage for telling the story from thirty-thousand feet! I've not read many Silmfics that imitate the actual style of the book, for which I am deeply grateful.
