Name: Meg
Age: 20
Location: University in the north east
Fandoms: HBO's Rome, HBO's THE WIRE, sometimes Hetalia [if we're looking at you know, the historical side], DC/Vertigo in general - Sandman, Lucifer, Y: The Last Man and Transmet in specific, Baccano!
What in fandom interests me: Bouncing bad ideas off of each other, historical comparisons to historical fiction etc. RP silliness
What in fandom does NOT interest me: Slash/porn etc., airheaded fangirlishness
Major Non-fandom Interests: History, religion, mafia history
My LJ Contains Mostly: Talk about my thesis, dog spam, history babbles, random posts in Italian, musing on religions
Other: I like to talk before adding people, so yeah. I also post a lot of papers on my LJ for editing and tend to be a history derp. I also lived in Italy recently so that will come up in a lot of discussions.

I'm amused we commented at the same time and have the same name. /easily amused

....*TWILIGHT ZONE THEME HEEEEEEEERE*

So I literally just sat and did the awkward turtle with your icon for like, two minutes.

This comment makes me very happy.

FFffffuuuu-- Y: The Last Man!

Which needs so much more love. Mmm, Pia Guerra art.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw you like Lucifer, shit changed my life a little bit. Plus Vertigo is my weekly crack. And then I read on and decided that anyone who likes quality comics AND history AND religion must be awesome. Oh my god can I friend you please

Vertigo is nearly the only comic line I will read and LUCIFER FANS OMFG YESSSS it is so hard to find them. Which makes me full of woe.

I know, I've been trying to introduce all of my Sandman-fan friends to it, but as soon as I say "It's better than Sandman--" they interrupt me with "YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID." I love Neil Gaiman more than freedom, but Mike Carey is a juggernaut of the comics world. Are you reading the Unwritten?

I tried expanding my pull list outside of Vertigo once, but then I decided it wasn't worth it to read crap just for the sake of variety. :D

Mike Cary employs DELICIOUS GNOSTICISM OMNOMNOM better than Gaiman. But I have a toootal hard on for the series since I'm actually discussing it in my thesis

D: I am not, but I have heard it is VERY VERY GOOD and want to read it when I get a chance

I like Bone, as far as comics not from Vertigo go

THE WIRE <3

Also, Sandman is cool.

The Wire does not get enough love EVER. And this reminds me I really, really need an icon for it.

yay someone else who likes hetalia for the history and not the "OMG HOT MEN GAY SLASH DESU"

IT MAKES ME SAD because omnom delicious history nom.

Then again most of my historical interests = ancient and medieval which is a whooole lot of untapped potential fandom.

I KNOW, RIGHT? the history is the best part!
for me its ancient greece, french revolution, medieval, civil war (american) and like..... vietnam. also, victorian era can come, too.

HI I LOVE YOU. Anciennnnts need more love in fandom in general. I'm lucky that I know a few other people interested, but oh man, more medieval please. Especially crusading era!

<333 I THINK I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO FRIEND YOU.
I'm Jess, age 16, nerd extraordinaire c:

:DDD *adds back*
it is always good to meet younger history nerds ~~so that I can be a bad influence~~

oh right the one thing I didn't put here is that I talk about food. a lot.

HISTORY~ And Hetalia and Sandman. And I've only experienced a little bit each of Transmet and Baccano, but they seem amazing. Shall we do this friending thing?

They both are, I assure you. Especially Transmet towards the end. Oh Spider.

I could only get my hands on the very first book, alas. I really want to read almost everything published by Vertigo... So many good comics, so little time. And money. :c

There is NOTHING wrong with sitting in the bookstore and reading everything. That's how I first read 'The Sandman'!

There is a rather nice bookstore downtown... Next time I'm stuck there, I may have to give reading entire comics a go... *strokes imaginary goatee thoughtfully*
I like your EVILTOMATO icon there btw.

not suggesting we be friends cos i'm a slash fangirl but THE WIRE <3

Nice to see another fan :)
