Hee, two Suits people on top of each other! That's cool about the horses, I used to live in San Diego and I loved going to Del Mar :)

SRSLY. The thing Giles says in S1 of Buffy about smelling books is something that has stuck with me since I saw it for the first time when I was six. (Although, my laptop - or at least the plastic case on it - kinda smells like coffee at this point, so ehhhh.)

METAPHYSICS IN THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE. I would instantly fall in geeky love with someone if I saw them reading that at work. Though, my Star Trek knowledge only extends as far as the reboot, and my recollection of that extends to something along the lines of 'ZACHARY QUINTO BEING A BAMF EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS MORE ZQ YAY.' Which, honestly, made it a good movie in my book.

No, I completely get it. And yes to seasons-arching storylines, but what they did to my bb Cordelia (even though it was for understandable reasons, given Charisma's pregnancy) was such a slap in the face. Still, any problems I have with either show will always be out-shined by their sheer general fantasticness.

I HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH CROSSOVERS TBH. I find that some verses just do not blend, although other times I will come across a fic where the author combines things so flawlessly that I fall down weeping with crossover-love. Oh, but Twisting the Hellmouth! Memories, man, memories.

... My legitimate, actual, real Harry Potter OTP is Draco/Harry/Ron/Hermione. Legitimately. People always think I'm joking or crack!shipping. I am not. I read a fic for it a way, way long time ago and nothing in the HP fandom has ever topped the dynamics for me. Although, I do ship more or less any and all variations of those four characters. As far as canon goes, I adore Ron/Hermione, but I can rarely restrain myself from going crazy up-the-wall with shipping once I step outside of canon. Like I said, MULTI-SHIPPER. :3

AND OH, NATHAN/KELLY. FLAWLESS AWKWARD ROMANCE WAS FLAWLESS. I shipped Nathan up and down the block when I was in the fandom (NATHAN/SIMON, Nathan/probabtion worker Shaun, etc.) but holy hell, Nathan/Kelly was so ridiculously, wonderfully well-done.

IKRRRRR. For fuck's sake, the first season is like the holy grail of television for me, and even the worst episodes are still so good. Curtis didn't interest me that much for the first two seasons - mostly because he didn't get a lot of focus, the poor bb - but his whole turning into a girl thing in S3 was awesome and guhhhh, it's just such a good show!

you mean this face? lololol

Age: 24
Location: Canada
Fandoms: Star Wars, Harry Potter (books only), The West Wing, Greek mythology, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Tudors, Notre Dame de Paris, Dangerous Liaisons, Phantom of the Opera, Labyrinth, and many, many others. I read fic in almost any fandom, but only write in the first three.
What in fandom interests me: Fic, meta, discussion, analyzing, characterization debates, creepy ships (see my profile for a list), applying psychological theory to fiction and fandom
What in fandom does NOT interest me: Intolerance; people who think they are always right and everyone who disagrees with them is stupid. P.S. I think ship wars are hilarious.
Major Non-fandom Interests: Psychology (my current field of study), politics (my former field of work), law (my future field of work)
My LJ Contains Mostly: discussion, meta, personal/school stuff, fic

Yes! I quite like them! :D
...That is a beautiful icon of N, by the way (your default).
Frondage, perhaps?

Sounds good to me!

I'm amazed that someone out there actually knows who Clara Bow IS. ♥

She was just beautiful in Black Swan. :D

I used to be more active in the Harry Potter fandom than I am now, and there are several '80s films I'd like to see bigger fandoms for so I could write in them.
What in fandom interests me: Fic, meta, fanart, general discussion.
What in fandom does NOT interest me: Pointless squeeing, character bashing, wank for the sake of wank.

Yeah, actually having interacted with Muslims and knowing them as, well, ordinary folks would help someone avoid painting them all as this twisted, fanatical group of suicide bombers who hate everyone.

-hugs- Aww, thanks so much. ^///^;

It's not too bad! It could be so much worse. At least it's just a few folks flinging insults and accusations over the internet.

Giles is my champion of books. Everything he says about them makes me want to hug him and all the books ever at the same time.

I LOVE TREK. I'm a bad Trekkie, though, because I must've had more secondhand exposure to Trek things (fandom and books about and etc.) than the actual shows, but <3. And that movie was FANTASTICO, so I don't blame you for recalling ti as such, because that's essentially what it was, no? Plus Chris Pine getting choked a lot.

I AM ANGRY WITH HOW CORDELIA WAS WRITTEN OUT OF THE SHOW. I mean, yes, understandable because she was pregnant, but early Cordelia was flawless and then she had terrible hair and went into a coma. At least her goodbye episode was good? NGL, my affection for Angel is mostly for the first three seasons. *will never stop loving Doyle*

NO NO, I SEE YOUR POINT. There are totally some crossovers where my head tilts 90 degrees and it's epic confusion and the story itself is just...incompatible, but then there are beautifully unexpected ones or the oh-so-natural ones and I love outsider POV, especially outsider POV in which the outsider is seeing it through their own paradigm. Ahem.

*blinks* Unusual! I approve. Sometimes I read cracky pairings just to see how well it is. Years ago I loved Sinistra/Snape just because of a fic series, so as long as someone writes it well...no problem, imo. I FORGOT A CAVEAT. I love multishipping, but I just can't stomach incest. Which is problematic in SPN, heh.

THIS IS BECAUSE NATHAN WOULD TAP ANYTHING. I mean, I don't think he would necessarily enjoy tapping everything (he seemed pretty freaked out with the elderly lady) BUT he's the kind of character you have to see with everyone. It's his hair, possibly. BUT AWKWARD ROMANCE FTW. THEY TRY TO MAKE IT STOP WITH THE MOST AWKWARD FOREPLAY EVER, BUT I REJECT IT.

That is the exact face. I NEED TO CATCH UP ON SEASON 3. I have only watched up unto the Nazi episode.

I'm a trans guy too, and an avid psychology student. I'm Québécois and fluent in French, but not familiar with Philippe Ebly. The only fandom we have in common is Harry Potter, I think. Want to be friends?

Fair warning: You WILL see a lot of him in my journal.

OH GOD, I HAVE TO SLEEP. YES, IT IS 5:36 PM IN MY TIME ZONE. THAT IS IRRELEVANT TO MY SLEEPING SCHEDULE. NO JOB + NO SCHOOL = SLEEPING WHENEVER THE MOOD HITS. AND I'VE BEEN UP LONG ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE HITTING NOW. UGH AT THE LIMITS OF THE HUMAN BODY.

But first, I would like to say this: AHAHA, I KNEW WE WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE ABOUT SOMETHING EVENTUALLY. I legit love me some incest. Like, one of my ultimate favorite ships of all-time ever in the world is incest (it's Tony/Effy from Skins, jsyk.) And I - predictably - adore Sam/Dean, but also Dean/Cas and a crap-load of other ships from SPN. I think fandom has desensitized me to a lot things, this being one of them. Like, for example, the first time I watched Supernatural, I did not ship Sam/Dean at all. OH GOD WHAT HAS FANDOM DONE TO ME! :( I mean, I get the incest squick. Like, I love my sister, I really do, but I WOULD NOT HIT THAT.

OH GOD, I KEEP TALKING ABOUT INCEST. I AM PROBABLY SQUICKING THE FUCK OUT OF YOU RN. I'll go to sleep.

But first, let me shamelssly point you in the direction of my thoughts on misfits ships (http://youremyqueen.livejournal.com/1496.html#cutid1) (from before season three aired, though.)

AND A GOOD DAY TO YOU. ♥

What in fandom interests me: FANGIRLING OVER ANYTHING I LIKE! Fanfiction/writing, insane/AU pairings, romance, action, iconing. I'm a straight up het shipper - and a pretty cracky pairing chooser sometime - but everyone's free to ship whatever he/she wants so if that's cool with you, you can totally add me. ^^;

Major Non-fandom Interests: You mean there is such a thing as life outside fandom?

...well, I am a Med student so, uh, patients...medicine and stuff (though I try not to bore my F-list too much with my convoluted college classes). Music, reading, drawing ~~of which I'm not really capable~~, animals. I'm sure there should be more here but no matter how hard I try to think of stuff, I get this:
