Age/Location: 21, Minneapolis
Fandoms: JPop (female idol groups), Once Upon a Time, The X-Files, Castle, Avengers, Parks and Recreation, Inception, Firefly, Legend of the Seeker, Stargate: Atlantis, Doctor Who, etc.
What in fandom interests me: Fans coming together to talk about the stuff they like and create stuff based on it. The way fandom brings people together, basically. I also read a lot of fanfiction.
What in fandom does NOT interest me: Crazy wank.
Major Non-fandom Interests: TV/film (I'm a film studies student, it counts), knitting, Japanese language, writing, reading. I'm basically trying to make my fandom interests into a career, so a lot of overlap there.
My LJ/DW Contains Mostly: not much, haha. I'm not super active with updating my journal, but I'd love to friend people to possibly talk about whatever. I'm more active on my Jpop blog (intlwota.com/happydisco) if you're interested in JPop.

Oh you study film? Theoretical or production?

Wondering because I'm getting a bachelor in film and television studies, and it would be nice to talk to people who are in the same boat, so to speak,

[writerserenyty]

It's a lot more theoretical than I'd like (I want to do more production), but I'm taking all the production courses my university offers.

Sounds like we're definitely in a similar boat, then! My official major title is Studies in Cinema and Media Culture.

[making_excuses]

Oh, on my side of the world we don't study the same way as you guys, we are divided in what we want to do, so I would not be able to get any practical training if I don't apply for that, not that I want to, I want to work behind the scenes, no cameras or artistic stuff for me.

Ah, your major really does sound more fancy than mine!

So what do you want to do when you finish your degree?

[writerserenyty]

Oh, OK; I don't take a lot of practical classes, but I take some. :)

I wouldn't say fancy as it's just the name my university gave it, haha.

I'd like to do something within TV production; I'm taking a screenwriting class now and I really like it, so TV screenwriting's something I'm interested in. I'm also interested in editing, casting, and doing more of the organizational side of things (planning schedules for shoots and whatnot), or working for a TV network in some capacity. We'll see. How about you?

[making_excuses]

Well my bachelor is film and television studies (which is he closest I can get it translated to English, directly translated it would be science not studies.) and it does not sound fancy at all even if my university college is known to have the best film and tv courses in Norway.

Definitively something in tv (either BBC or NRK, Norwegian BBC basically) in administration, I would love to one day get to be a producer, but realistically I'll probably not go that far, but one should always aim high. Weirdly enough I would be okay working with reality tv, I have this weird fascination with the genre. I just need two bachelors and a masters to get there, all of which I plan to complete in five years, because I'm getting old, and my student loans run out in exactly five years so I have no choice.
