Current favourite fandom: My Country: The New Age, but also K Drama fandom, generally (which I will talk about in my presentation - it really is a very different fandom experience!) I'd also say vidding, which is kind of its own fannish microcosm in many ways
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): Seo Hwi/Nam Seon-ho (My Country: The New Age)
Are you having a Renaissance (tm) this year (or every year!): I'm currently replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition so I guess that counts?
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:
Fic is always necessary IMO! I have never been SUPER drawn to canonical queer pairings fannishly (Black Sails being the exception), but my fannish journey the last two years has been quite different as I've been solely in Chinese and Korean fandoms and the very Westernised notion of Queerbaiting isn't relevant (or shouldn't be, but god help me the puritans will come yelling it anyway)- the shows that I have gravitated towards have had what is essentially a canon queer pairing, but not explicitly stated as such and so fic (and vids) are very much wanted - my current show has an extremely tragic ending and while I am never a big proponent of "fixit" fic, I find myself craving something like it in this fandom- what-if scenarios without lowered stakes, missing scenes etc etc
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: I hadn't thought of anything but if anyone is keen to take up vidding, I could run a very quick 101 workshop thingy? IDK if that's something that anyone would be into or not, but if so, happy to do this. Would also happily lead a discussion on the state of fandom vidding practices if that's something folks would be into.
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): n/a
I would potentially be willing to moderate a discussion given arysteia is exhausted and labellementeuse (tui_talk) is overseas: I feel like I would be terrible at this, so my answer is lol no
My Hell Pizza order for Saturday night is (please bold or ALL CAPS any allergies/intolerances: No allergies/intolerances and Francis will include our order on his sign-up
More crudites, more chips, or more biscuits? Chips
Hummus or sour cream dips? Sour cream dips, please
no subject
