Current favourite fandom: still Tolkien. Always Tolkien. Sadly I can’t squeeze ANOTHER presentation out of it. I read a little in the untamed and svsss and bts.
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): Fingon/Maedhros.
Are you having a Renaissance (tm) this year (or every year!): ELVES
Food for Thought
How does better (arguably) queer rep in canon affect your relationship with fandom? Fic still necessary? Just fun now? Still better thought out than lazy shoehorning? Worse than ever? Too many puriteens? Sound off here:
Hm. Necessary. Reading fic is like breathing. I don’t really seriously have any western canons with actual gay, though; I feel like the delicate homoerotic subtext of Hugo and (arguably) Tolkien do more than the old school media fandoms, but much less than the current canon gay canons. I like that half-twilight, that soft grey that could also be pink.
I think it’s similar for the untamed: the show leaves enough unsaid and undone that the ground is fertile for fiction. SVSSS is a rare flower, but so many things are unresolved and the whole concept is so delightful that I have imaginative space for reading fic. I DON’T really read any TGCF, though, and I think that’s because it’s mxtx’s most fully imagined and worked-out m/m romance. I don’t need more.
Puriteens... There’s a crop of earnest young twenty somethings in Tolkien and they are sweet, but the things they want and write ring no bells in me, and if I worried about audience reception, they would potentially chill some of mine when writing. But I do not.
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: sorry, a blank
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like it to get into the main panel section(s): sorry, a blank
I would potentially be willing to moderate a discussion given arysteia is exhausted and labellementeuse (tui_talk) is overseas: sure, moderating discussions is my day job
Actual Food
My Hell Pizza order for Saturday night is (please bold or ALL CAPS any allergies/intolerances): Lust pizza, snack with thin stretched base (sexy sounding!), no lashings of sauce.
It costs this much, which I will add to my subs when I pay those: $13
More crudites, more chips, or more biscuits? Have you met me? candy
Hummus or sour cream dips? N/a
Coke or juice? N/a
I said coke and my preferred version is: N/a
I said juice and I prefer apple/orange/other: N/a
Coffee or tea? Philosophically, coffee, but in practice I’ll supply my own.
