Figured it was about time we had one. You know what to do. (:
(and if you don't, there's always google.)

Two out of three: female, believing in some higher power, bisexual.
Like I think I might have voted for Obama just because my fandom friends did kind of way? And I feel uncool for liking and taking care of babies.
So every female that has said things like "men are idiots" or something similar in an interview are any less sexist? Oh, I forgot... it's called being funny when woman does it.
Learn to take jokes for what they are. Especially from people that have no clue how to execute it... which I will admit, Moffat seriously can't.

Also interested in what way you feel like you have to change your lifestyle.
Idgie. I have a real life (one that even involves sex!) and still manage to participate in fandom. I like fandom. I don't want to give it up.
LJ needs more Christians. We get too much of a bad rap around here.

I don't really think I'm better than anyone else or other women, I just feel misunderstood and outcast. It's especially hard for me to attract men (my own age, anyway) because of it. As far as being a misogynist, at least I realize that I am one, and I'm trying to change that, and understand other women (and I do have female friends).
Actually, I'm not always manly looking, I tend to sway back and forth between expressing either gender. Because of the way I was raised, I really had to try hard to learn to be feminine, though.

I sort of feel bad for those people, like... It's a shame that, when you were in fandom, you were incapable of handling your life outside of fandom as well. Maybe it is better for you to just do one or the other, as multi-tasking clearly isn't your thing.
I wasn't very outgoing in my fandoms, but I was fairly active and knew quite a few people. I wrote, I commented, I metaed, I RPed. I wasn't popular by any stretch of the imagination, but I was at least known and knew people.
But then RL skull-fucked me and I was forced into a year long hiatus. Now I barely recognize the fandom and every attempt I've made to hook back up with it has failed. The people I knew have either moved on or are gone; the communities are either dead or indifferent; the RPs are all cliquish and resistant to newbies. It's like I just hit this resounding wall of silence.
I want to get back to fandom, any fandom really, but it's just not working and I'm not sure what to do to fix that.

I like girl/girl romance and I wish I could read more of it because I think it would be helpful in getting a handle on my own sexuality. However, I'm irrationally terrified that every single f/f fan besides me is just an awful exploitative creepy fuck, to the point where I can't enjoy fic or even discuss the subject openly.
Made even worse by the fact that I know there are are awful exploitative creepy fuck m/m fans too and I don't care.

How would you want it? Some sort of AU/TIME PARADOX where Snake and Liquid are both in FOXHOUND and Otacon is working with them? Liquid coming back from the dead? Or Liquid's brilliant plan to ram into you with a Jeep backfires, and he's the one trapped under it, and Snake is just about to shoot him and says, "You know what? Fuck it," and decides to screw with the people who've been pushing him around by saving him, then Liquid lives with him and Otacon and sees them falling for each other and gets uberjealous?
I ask because I'm being tempted to write some shameless porn of it, as long as I can post anonymously.

I'm a BNF in my current fandom. I was a BNF in my old fandoms, too.
For those of you who bawwwww about why you're not a BNF, you want to know how to do it? Without having to kiss ass or be calculating about being friends with "the right people" or playing the politics game?
You get off your lazy arse and do stuff. I know, crazy, innit?
1. Leave comments/feedback on fanwork you like.
2. Write fic or make fanart or icons or vids or write meta or reviews. Being good at it definitely helps.
3. Offer to beta read.
4. Start a community or a fic challenge.
5. Join a few communities, delurk and contribute.
It's not rocket science, people. Just don't be a tool and be one of those self-involved, snotty-britches BNFs.

I really, really dislike the Watchmen fandom.
I hate the passive-agressiveness of it, I hate the amount of fans who obviously came from ONTD, I hate the abuse of the word "fierce!" as a result, I hate the squeeing, I hate that you aren't allowed to think that JEH as Rorschach wasn't practically perfect in every way, and I hate that the fandom made me go from loving Nite Owl/Rorschach to absolutely loathing it (and I hate that I've fallen victim of the "Annoying fans turned me off from X" reason that has annoyed me in the past...and now that's the only explanation I have for my sudden hatred of the pairing).

God, I love Fawlty Towers.
Sometimes I wonder why my fandom friends have such huge familial/sexual/mental issues.
And then I remember that I have issues too. And that EVERYONE has issues!
All the world's a headcase, lol.

LOL... I assume that most are female, bi and pagan.
I hate it when people write fanfics that have characters that are obviously not Japanese nor who know Japanese speak it, or use honorifics. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Especially for stuff that have easy or singular meaning translations.
I do all of that and I'm not a BNF, thank God. I'd never want to be.

Oh fuck. I'm seeing Mary Poppins!Rorschach now.
