Two Memes

[browngirl]

I'm trying not to write a different post, so have a meme that's going around:

Ask me any fandom-related questions in the comments. They can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Questions can be as wacky as you want and have as many subparts as you like. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want. [However, you may not ask what post it is I'm trying not to write.]

Fandoms of mine include: Babylon 5, DC Comics, Doctor Who & Torchwood (Nu Who), the Ancient Egyptians, Firefly, Heinlein novels, LOTR, Mary Renault, Mercedes Lackey Novels (back in the ‘90s), the Minoans of Bronze Age Crete, NUMB3RS, Pern, Star Trek: TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Reboot, Star Wars, and Bujold’s Vorkosiverse.

The first comment is the answer to another meme, of Five Questions which 6street gave me a really long time ago.

Yeah, I feel like I've gotten more accepting over the years wrt other people's fandoms and having lots of friends who squee about different things (I remember when I had this awful hate on the Harry Potter books because they were tempting people away from LotR), but I've also gotten more sensitive to the whole "Let's latch on to the next fandom with two pretty white boys" thing and I sometimes wonder if some of my friends are disappointed in me with my Merlin squee. Like you say though, it's a tricky thing to talk about without hurting feelings one way or another. Thanks for your thoughtful and careful answer. :)
