Registration Form 2009

Preferred first name: Katrina

Reader/Writer/Vidder/All of the Above: Reader

My primary fandom: I'm a fandom whore - I'm not even a serial monogamist. I've mostly been reading bandslash and Merlin lately, I guess.

My secondary fandom(s): Stuff I have read as primary fandoms in the past and skim now or read what I can find: Saiyuki, Smallville, Star Trek, Supernatural, Supernatural RPS, Bujold, Die Hard 4, Pirates of the Caribbean, Devil Wears Prada, Petshop of Horrors, Harry Potter, Gordan Korman, NCIS, due South, Sentinel, Highlander, Rurouni Kenshin, Ironman, BtVS, Stargate 1, Stargate: Atlantis, Lord of the Rings (Simarillion).

I tend to fail at canon for TV and movies, books not so much. Rec it well enough and I may end up trolling FFnet for something else. The fandom matters less than the story.

OTP forever: ...seriously?

OTP sometimes: Arthur/Merlin, Frank/Gerard, Pete/Patrick, Sanzo/Goku, Hakkai/Gojyo, Kirk/Spock, Dean/Sam... Will happily read OT3 or OT4 at least once. I tend to read a lot of one pairing in a fandom first and then try others. Sometimes I just read whatever. It depends how the characters work. I'll read anything at least once. If I like it, I'll look for more.

My definition of slash is:stories about a fictional relationship between two (or occasionally more) characters of the same sex, written by fans and readily found on the internet.

I like slash because: It's pretty awesome and some of it is pretty damn hot. It can be everything that published fiction can be and more, plus it's free and easily available. I read fast and read a lot, so a constantly renewing source of fiction is a really really good thing. Replaced my Mills&Boon reading habit with something a lot cheaper.

I discovered slash by:

maudlinrose making me read Mercedes Lackey fic and then Harry Potter at FFNet. Some of those author wrote Gundam Wing, I was distracted, I never looked back. It's all her fault.

My bullet proof kink: None of them are bullet proof because it all depends on the writing and the characters, but mild bondage, great dialogue, awesome character interaction, and soul bonds. People loving math.

My major league squick: humiliation, embarrassment, dubcon

My guilty pleasure: crossovers

I first found out about (my first) g/t from/by:

arysteia at a fandom dinner thing

Coke/Coke Zero/Sprite/Juice: Juice

Tea/Coffee: Tea, coffee if it's not expresso and its either first thing in the morning or I'm really tired

Indian/Thai/Italian: Sounds good

I would like 15 Minutes of Fame: No

I will use it to: Can we talk about how slash is becoming increasingly mainstream and how fic writers are now building a fan base as published authors starting from a fandom base and how this can possibly change the writer/fanbase interaction instead without me having to stand up anywhere and talk because that would be more interesting.
