Wow. This is late. Really late. Later than ever before. I solace myself with the fact you've all been before, and in fact, at this point, I feel I've known most of you forever. We only have two n00bs first timers, and hey, we've been to about a million Armageddons together [livejournal.com profile] angel_a, or eaten cake, chatted loudly, and embarrassed the mundanes innocent fellow patrons several times [livejournal.com profile] aworldinside, so I call that a win.

Anyway. Work to do.

Please fill out a Registration Form. As you all know, I grade these very harshly using my finely honed NCEA skills. Technically that means text language is allowed in Maths and Physics... Hmmmm... What next? Macros? Wai halo thar evol ex-bf! But not in Classics! Except... Um... I let the boys include Superman cartoons... And the odd thinly veiled gay sex joke... Yeah. Carry on.

You know the drill. Please cut and paste this into a comm post of your own (remember to post to the comm, not your own lj, *vbg*). Feel free to flock as preferred.

Oh, and remember. No cheating. Consider this a Rorschach test for any changes since last year, and complete it anew. *Then* you can look back if you want. You may or may not have noticed (and probably haven't if you use style-mine) but I have redesigned the comm. Most importantly I switched from S1 to S2, which means we now have tags. It's still a slight WIP, but I've painstakingly (Worship Me!) gone back and tagged everything so you should be able to find anything you like pretty easily now. Myself, I plan on doing something funny at g/t this year with all the data I've collected over the years. Mwahahahaha!

Oh. ETA: Try to be discriminating. Don't have ten primary fandoms, it's not allowed. [/school marm] Make a hard call, and put the rest in "other".

ETA2: Mofos! What is this, the Third Reich? I tried to post this from work today and got kicked off the internet. For a DDR rating of fifteen. Yes, fifteen. (I've no idea what DDR stands for either, but evidently it separates the evil doers from those who actually use the internet to do serious work.) Ordinarily it takes at least two hundred to get disabled, so it would appear there's a crackdown on... So, without further ado, later than ever...

Preferred first name: Victoria

My primary fandom: Doctor Who is slugging it out with Supernatural

My secondary fandom: Stargate: Atlantis has dropped back (to the point where I just looked confused when [livejournal.com profile] china_shop apologised for my bereavement). And crazily, Smallville is making a very strong, very fast comeback. Again. How 'bout that???

Other fandoms: The Professionals. Torchwood.

OTP forever: Lex/Clark. Doctor/Master. Sam/Dean.

OTP sometimes: Bodie/Doyle. Sheppard/McKay. Jack/Ianto.

My definition of slash is: Two hot guys doing hot things to each other. What's funny to me is that sometimes they're *not* objectively hot until that wee / appears, and then poof! Magic. Suddenly they are. The mega hotness of one converts the other in my eyes. And the power of their affection does the rest. [I'm fully aware I've left femslash out. It's not an accident. I've never read it, never thought about it. Interestingly (to me anyway), that's not a sexual preference so much as a commentary on the dearth of good (or any!) female characters in shows I watch. Because I *do* read gender swap femslash for my OTPs, and that's just silly.]

I like slash because: It makes bad shows better and good shows awesome. No seriously. Good fanfic anyway distils and crystallises what you love about a show, filling in gaps and explaining glitches. Slash just goes one better by focusing on the relationships you love, the character dynamics you enjoy... Oh, and the hot. I also like the emotional content. It's my favourite driver in a show anyway, more so than the action, so a fic that's heavily based around that is win win for me.

I discovered slash by: Print zine belonging to older sister at friend's house. Mention in Complete History of Trek (very negative of course!). Link on fan site for Robin of Sherwood. Game over.

My bullet proof kink: Dominant personality/control freak bottoming.

My major league squick: The Healing Power of the Cock. Damn you! It does not fix rape trauma *or* madness!!! Or evil, come to that. Though sometimes I let that one go, *g*.

My guilty pleasure: Mpreg. Yes. I know. Put down those vegetables. I justify myself to noone.

I first found out about (my first) g/t from/by: Bwahahaha. [livejournal.com profile] china_shop and I invented it, yo. But I *can* tell an origin story. I went to a barbecue at china's. She said casually, "Oh hey, there's a slash con in Sydney. We should go." I don't think she was particularly serious. "We should totally go," I replied. I don't think *I* was particularly serious. "Okay," she countered. "Okay," I agreed. And suddenly we *were* serious. And then I was *terrified* on the plane. And we agreed that she'd be the goofy one and I'd be the cool one. But then everyone we met was awesome. And I was cool for about an hour till I lost all dignity shrieking "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!1!" in the auction for an original Theban Band manip of Clark and Lex. Meh. The goofy have more fun. And we liked the Tight Five (aka the EHoF) so much we told them to come to NZ and we'd do it all again. And they did. And we did. And thus g/t was born.

And not in a good way.

I will not be attending g_t this year due to a rescheduling of family commitments BAH.

Please take photos of slash pictionary and give [livejournal.com profile] woolly_socks any pimping vids you think I would like. [livejournal.com profile] arysteia this means you... Or, you know, we could have afternoon tea some time!

Mostly, have a fabulous time and my love to all of you.
