get_together | yes, i am actually coming this year (Reply)

Who are you and where can we find you (preferred name/user names across your preferred platforms/where you’re most active): elaine, aka born2slash on DW and cross_stitchery on LJ

Are you a reader, a writer, an artist, a vidder, a lurker, all of the above, or something else entirely: reader and writer, mostly reader these days

Wax lyrical about your current fandoms and OTPs: i'm trying to think about anything that comes close to Jim/Blair among the current crop... nope, nothing. boring, i know.

Reminisce with one perfect crystal emo tear for the ship that sank or the fandom that finally faded away: well, Sentinel is the fandom that will not die, even tho it appears to be at the last gasp and has done for several years.

Any squicks or kinks (be clear which is which, *g*): squick: Mpreg, RPF and Sentinel fusions (aka bonding kink). basically, if it's not Jim and Blair, it's not Sentinel, gaddammit! kink: eh, pretty much anything works for me as long as it's well written.

Fannish highlight of your year: this year it's pretty much all been lowlights (have i depressed you enough yet?)

Favourite new show/movie/comic/source text since last year: Last Week with John Oliver

Favourite AO3/tumblr/twitter tag: uh..

Where do you do the bulk of your fannish interaction? Is there a hotbed of awesome out there that someone might be missing out on? Any specific comms or tumblrs or rec sites or tags we should be following?: i probably spend more time on the TS chat on Sunday mornings than i do the whole of fandom the rest of the week. i'm pretty much a lurker these days.

Are you taking part in Yuletide or Festivids this year? Are there any other fantastic exchanges we should all know about?: nope

2) The G/T Advanced Section

How many g/t’s have you been to? 5? or thereabouts

How did you hear about your very first one/from whom/whose lj flist were you on? mab_browne, i suspect. she is my fannish enabler

Have you ever done a presentation at g/t? What was it? (Especially if it was in Year 1, 2, or 3, for which records are slightly murky.) a few. um... Sentinel (of course) Suits, Rizzoli and Isles, Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, H5O

Best g/t memory ever (or that you can remember right this minute): Slash Pictionary, every time i've been

Thoughts on how Fandom (capital F deliberate) has changed over the last decade: it's got less social (Tumblr, i'm looking at you)

Thoughts on how fandom (your more personal experience of it) has changed over the last decade: i don't really have the time (or, at the moment, the energy) to participate much. and since i hate Tumblr with a burning hatred i'm pretty much limited to LJ and DW

If you’re one of our Venerated Foremothers (ie have stories to tell that pre-date the ark, or at least the internet) please share: nope

Any other comments worthy of being preserved for posterity in this banner year: nope
