Introduction

[jennova]

Well, well. Here I am at Dreamwidth.

I probably won't be importing my entries from LiveJournal (mostly because they're an epic mess) but I'll probably start cross-posting some entries. For now I think LiveJournal will remain my main journal, with this one as a back-up (unless I develop a better sense of organisation here).

Nevertheless here's a little about me:

1. I'm mostly multi-fannish - although my current love affair with Pundits may prove the undoing of that.

2. I'm Antipodean (born in NZ, raised in Australia, I identify as a Kiwi) and I live in the North-East of the UK.

3. I'm bisexual and completely open about it.

4. My greatest ambition is being a published author.

5. With regards to fanfic: I write mostly slash (I really wish I could write het or femmeslash but I fail utterly at describing the female body with anything other than clichés. Believe me - the irony of that does not escape me.) with a sideline in gen.

Comments

HEE. OMG, we're so similar. I find about 90% of FotC stuff not that awesome, but things like the Oz/NZ conflict had me continue watching the show. And some of their songs are amusing. I'm quite relieved I'm not the only one who wasn't completely enchanted and thought they were the best thing ever.

Dude, I totally had a 'why didn't more people comment on Pro Patria Mori????' spaz-out after you posted. I came to conclusion more people were IDIOTS. And the comments you did get were awesome. There are still some excellent writers. I highly recommend nepthys_uk, argyleheir and vermin_disciple. But - yes. I find the majority of LoM fiction either isn't technically bad, but doesn't interest me, or is technically bad and doesn't interest me. Once upon a time I could have confidently said there wasn't much bad!fic in the fandom, but now I can't. Sturgeon's Law prevails.

Yeah - so many people love them I'm like, well, yes Bret and Jemaine (ohgod, Jemaine, only in NZ I swear) are adorable but I just don't find the show particularly funny. I don't dispute their cleverness with lyrics, though.

Haha. Yes, that's exactly what my self-indulgent whining was about. We really are too similar sometimes. Those comments were utterly awesome, though. Sometimes I like to go back and reread them. And Janni also said the most amazing things about me when she recced it on Crack Van as well.

I'll try some of them out sometime, then. I guess, being multifannish, I've just not had the time to go searching, you know?

Shall I tell you something I've had to do deal with in Pundit fandom? My prejudice against LJ names with numbers in - because it turns out one of the best writers in the fandom has numbers in their name. It's such a weird prejudice for me to have, I know, and I couldn't even say why I had it.

Huh. We really are so similar. My main complain about FotC was that I was lucky if I found one thing that made me laugh in each episode. I still kept watching, though.

I think the problem was that it was too good and people didn't know how to respond. I've been told that this occurs. People read something, love something, but don't think any comment they leave will do the eloquence and beauty justice. I don't think these people realise that most of us would be happy simply with 'I read this and loved it'.

Jen, I have a number in my name. :( :( :(

[jennova]

Yes, I know! But for some reason my prejudice never triggered on that respect. Possibly because I fell for you fannishly, like, instantly.
