Comment to this entry and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

1. What got you into this fandom in the first place?
2. Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
3. Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
4. Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
5. Do you think more people should get into this fandom?

Dr. Who/Torchwood:
1. So everyone on my flist was like, "Oooooh! Shiny! Ficficficficfic." So I decided to watch Season 1 (Nine and Rose, FTW!) on the netflix instant thing. It was all downhill from there.
2. Oh Jesus, who knows. I can never really quit a fandom.
3. Dr. Who: BoomTown, Tooth & Claw, The Girl in the Fireplace, Martha meets Shakespeare, The Stolen Earth, Journey's End.
Torchwood: Day One, Cyberwoman, Exit Wounds, Fragments, KKBB, MEAT (OMG MEAT), Something Borrowed. OH AND COUNTRYCIDE. WELSH CANNIBALS FTW.
4. I don't know how much I participate in this fandom. I will say that I have found the TW fandom to be FOW. I haven't been this engaged in a fandom since Highlander. It's like being in love again when you haven't felt that way for ten years. I'm experiencing a fandom love renaissance. LOVE, DAMMIT.
5. That is a tricky question, so I'll answer it for all three fandoms here: I can't predict what people will like. I have like, the worst script judgement evar. Would I like for everyone I know to love DW/TW? I guess. Don't know what that would do. I suspect that we all like different fandoms (no one is a perfect match. My best fandom buddy and I have NO overlapping current fandoms, and we get along just fine). So no, I guess. I think people get into the fandom, and whatever number they currently have is what they get. Currently.

Highlander: Oh sweet Highlander.
1. Someone showed me the following eps, in the following order, back in 1996/1997: the one where Richie bites it, comes a horseman, rev 6:8, and something else, possibly finale II. It was love. First dead Richie, and then Methos? There was a god, and he gave me a huge birthday present.
2. WHY DO YOU ASK QUESTIONS TO WHICH YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER? WE ARE THE FUTURE, CHARLES! NOT THEM!
3. Okay. Lemme think: Modern Prometheus, Til Death, The Stone of Scone, Indiscretions, To Be/Not To Be.
4. I write fic for it. I have found over the years that I am shit at talking about Highlander. I cannot explain Methos. I wish I could. I wish I could bottle Methos, people. I wish I could conjure him out of the air and make him take me to Steak N' Shake, because I really love those tiny shoestring fries. But fic, yeah. I think I've written some fic. I like to organize writing things too. Yay.
5. See above.

Firefly:
1. We saw the ads for the girl in the box. We watched the first ep, which was disappointingly about a train, but not that disappointing. I fell in love with Mal and his accent and Jayne and his ruttin' chain of command. The rest, is silence. Big damn silence.
2. I'm not really in this fandom to begin with. I don't talk about FF, because really, there isn't much for me to say, and when I do have something to say, I say it with ~~flowers~~ fic. That makes…like two things I have had to say about FF.
3. The Train Job, Heart of Gold, Jaynestown, Objects in Space. The only reason I really liked Serenity was because I was looking for conclusions to the show, and also Kaylee said, "Going on a year now, I ain't had anything twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!" That's. That's art in a sentence there.
4. I don't read a lot of fic, I don't write it. I guess see #2.
5. SEEEEEE ABOVE.
