Registration and Sign Ups 2018

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Welcome, one and all. It's time to register for g/t 2018. Hopefully a speedy and streamlined process, though with one important addition this year.

1) As with last year, please just make a top level comment to this post rather than an individual post to the community. If you kept your livejournal you can comment logged in, if you've got a dreamwidth you can use open id (but include your lj name if there's any chance I won't recognise it), if you have neither, or you prefer not to log in for any reason, then anon commenting is fine, but please include a pseudonymous tag so I can tell who it is.

2) It's pizza party time! Well, not really, but in the interests of avoiding hell on earth over the phone Saturday night (you see what I did there) I am going to order and pay in advance, on Friday 5 October. In the morning, before I go to brunch. That means there's going to be a hard cut off for registrations and subs this year! No retroactive signups. Not that I'm looking at any perpetual latecomers in particular. You can edit your order between now and then, obviously, but when I call a hard close I'm gonna mean it. :D

Please go directly to hell, I mean visit the Hell Pizza website and check out the menu. Please also make a note of the price of your order. Don't worry about factoring in delivery, I'll sort that out. Can I please suggest that you try to order off the menu if you can, as things start to go awry if there are too many substitutions on a giant order. If you have allergies/intolerances please all caps or bold those so I can make those absolutely clear when I go in.

3) If you didn't do it last year, can you please fill out this google form with contact details (confidential). If you don't want to include a cell number you don't have to, but especially if you don't have a twitter account I can ping it might be useful to be able to text in case of short notice issues.

Registration Template 2018

Try to pick ONE answer, maybe two, if you can, not your entire fannish history. And don't overthink some of the questions. Treat it like word association. It's only for a couple of games on the day.

First Fandom and/or OTP:

Is there a fandom you didn't know was a fandom when you were tiny, but it totally was?

Current Top Fandom and/or OTP:

One True Undying, Always Returning, Forever Fandom and/or OTP:

Favourite Trope:

Most Hated Trope:

Three Characters That Represent You In Some Way (no explanations, let us figure it out):

If Only One Fic Survived the Apocalypse It Would Be:

More crudites, more chips, or more biscuits?

Hummus or sour cream dips?

Coke or juice?

I said coke and my preferred version is:

I said juice and I prefer apple/orange/other:

I drink water, I'm not a barbarian like you.

Coffee or tea?

Whole fat, half, or trim milk?

My Hell order is (please bold or all caps any allergies/intolerances):

It costs this much, which I will add to my subs when that post goes up:

I haven't worked out my Hell order yet but I was super keen to sign up anyway, and I will totally comment to this comment with an update very soon, and you have my permission to heckle when I don't.

I'm going to bring my own dinner and take my chances on the kitchen.

Comments

First Fandom and/or OTP:
my first active fandom is a toss-up between Star Trek and Blake's 7. I had weird tummy feelings about a lot of my favourite 'buddies' but my first OTP where I actively understood that I wanted them to bone was Bodie and Doyle of The Professionals.

Is there a fandom you didn't know was a fandom when you were tiny, but it totally was?
Starsky and Hutch I guess. I knew about Star Trek and SF fandom in general even if I was very much on the fringes for it, but that there was an actual fandom for Starsky and Hutch and zines and fanfic etc? Not until I got on the internet.

Current Top Fandom and/or OTP:
The Sentinel and Jim and Blair, bless 'em, but I'm having fun reading Garak/Bashir as a palate cleanser. I've watched The Good Place with great enjoyment and could be convinced to read some Eleanor/Tahani, or heck, just some happy polyamory among the entire main cast. Maiden Rose is off hiatus, hoorah!

One True Undying, Always Returning, Forever Fandom and/or OTP:
See J/B above. Also Starsky/Hutch, Kirk/Spock. I'm an old fangirl of simple and traditional tastes.

Favourite Trope:
Conflicting loyalties with betrayal potential; character has been drugged/brainwashed into revealing, dangerous or threatening behaviour, sexual menace a delightful optional extra; presumed dead, especially if we can fit elements of the first trope in there somewhere

Most Hated Trope:
ABO and, on a related note, the more extreme expressions of Sentinel and Guide. *hollow laughter*

Three Characters That Represent You In Some Way (no explanations, let us figure it out):
Blair Sandburg, Julian Bashir, Servalan.

If Only One Fic Survived the Apocalypse It Would Be:
Martha and Lemon Drops' Distant Journey, Unknown Lands. Perhaps it could indeed survive, because I printed it out and put it in my LOTR ringbinder many years before tablets and kindles came along.

More crudites, more chips, or more biscuits?
Some crudites, some plain flavour potato chips thanks.

Hummus or sour cream dips?
Neither thanks

Coke or juice?
Coke

I said coke and my preferred version is:
Diet or Zero

Coffee or tea?
Tea

Whole fat, half, or trim milk?
I will provide my own lactose free as per last year. People are welcome to share as long they don't guzzle the stuff.

My Hell order is (please bold or all caps any allergies/intolerances):
Camembert Salad plus lemon pepper wedges with tomato dip. I don't see any dressings listed on the menu so plain mayo or vinaigrette. NO GARLIC IN THE DRESSINGS THANKS, assuming that's an option.

It costs this much, which I will add to my subs when that post goes up: $14
