Let's talk about other things.

I got this meme from lennongirl!

Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

01) What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02) Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03) Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04) Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05) Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

I was given Hanson, Dexter and QaF. Since yesterday was Hanson day, the first one is definitely appropriate.

Hanson
1) I was 12 years old and I just got home from school. It was March 1997 and I was watching MTV that afternoon. There were these three guys being interviewed and they were goofy and fun and that one over there was really cute. They played their music video afterward and the song was called "Mmmbop". My best friend Jaymie called me and said, "Did you see that?" Indeed I did. That was the beginning of my involvement and I've been hooked ever since.
2) I'm pretty sure it's with me for life.
3) My favorite album(s) have been Middle of Nowhere, This Time Around, Snowed In, Live from Albertane, The Walk, and Underneath. All in the order I like them.
4) Not really. I pretty much just keep a tab on Hanson Secrets. I used to back in the Devil Angel days but no longer.
5) I'm pretty okay with everyone right now. Any more and I'll probably go nuts. I can barely handle the fans as it is.

Dexter
1) I started watching from the first episode on. I got pulled in by all the promos and commercials and ended up loving the first season.
2) I'll move on. Unfortunately S2 didn't live up to S1 and neither did S3, for me. Although that little twist in S3 was pretty darn good.
3) Favorite episode, storyline was the whole Dexter and Brian. I love them. I do.
4) I don't.
5) Um ... sure. Season 1 was good. Don't know how it's going to turn out in the long run. I have hope.

Queer as Folk
1) It was the summer of 2003. I just quit my internship, graduated from high school, and made the unfortunate decision of moving early to Los Angeles. That meant three months with absolutely nothing to do. I passed Hal Sparks on Sunset Blvd. and was wondering what he was up to since I Love the 80's stopped airing. Then I discovered that he was still on Queer as Folk and that show kept going. About a month before this, I watched my first episode, episode 303 and found out that my one true love and soulmate forever, Fabrizio Filippo was on it. All those thoughts in mind, I rented S1 from Blockbuster and never turned back.
2) I'll never move on. It's going to be with me forever.
3) Yeah right. I'll make you guys a list later. Favorites are impossible.
4) I try to contribute anywhere in any medium, any fan gathering (online), and kind of discussion.
5) Nope. I'm pretty good where we stand. Kthx. I know. Bitchy.

New Nuke today! I'd like to see them together again though.

pick three for meee!

Ooh, okay! Hanson, Johnny Weir, Velvet Goldmine.

[fraserette.livejournal.com]

Devil Angel was an awesome series!!!

I miss my Hanson days, I just feel cheated now, the whole thing has become different and they have become too trendy. I miss the days of little to no fashion sense and being all about the music. The tickets are still ever so pricey!

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

It was definitely one of my favorites. I really don't know how you got better than Scott/Taylor.

Really? I admit that I do see what they do and who they are but I don't really know them the way that I was involved with them when I was a kid. I think that it's better this way.

5) Nope. I'm pretty good where we stand. Kthx. I know. Bitchy.

LMAO.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Teehee. I know. So elitist and that's how I'll stay!

[lennongirl.livejournal.com]

Am I even worthy being on your flist, I ask?

:P

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I think I'll answer that with a ... hell yeah! lmao your icon. You have my blessing to stay. I'm currently fixing my robe on my imaginary throne as I type this.

I meant to tell you that a conversation about John and Paul intrigued me on your post. Um, so what caused their fall out and were they like musician lov-ahs?

[lennongirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Madam *bows*

LOL, that conversation was pretty cool, and it's kinda funny, considering the person who started it got intrigued by my fic, so it's kinda like making the rounds, this whole being-intrigued-thing. But it intriguing it is!

The reasons for the fallout? Uh, there's so much and so little of at the same time. Big egos, different ways of maturing, men being MEN, stuff like that. Falling out of love and in love with another person (Paul actually said it that way). People said it was more a divorce than a break up. And such things just happen, I guess (sorry for cutting this so short, but there are whole Wiki entries on the break up).

were they like musician lov-ahs?

Oh, yes. Well, they loved each other, but were they lovers? Slashy mind says YES in caps. Paul and John said love, love, LOVE you all the time. So much hugging and touching and gushing and soulmates talking, stuff like that. John gets a lot of bi attributes (the most popular rumor/kindas fact is that he once let their gay manager, who was apparently very much in love with John, whack him off on a holiday). As for Paul... well, he shagged every girl around, and he obviously was very attached to John. Make of that what you want. I say: the lsash potential is EPIC, they meet as teenagers (savage young Beatles slash *purrs*), they had the hype years, then came fighting and break up (angst), even more angst after the break up when they fought via bitchy songs written "ofr" each other (now, who does that?) and the bittersweet ending of them getting closer again in the final years before John was shot. EPIC, I tell you. Plus, there's so many quotes and pics (oh my, the pics), and fanvids (oh, the fanvids) and whatnot and, yes, EPIC. I'm so happy ♥

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Oh you're welcome! *curtsies*

Ooh. I love it. I actually really love the idea of the slashy musician lov-ahs the way that you describe it! Um, if you see any good, well-written fic ... maybe I should just be looking through your journal entries. It does sound pretty epic. The Beatles to me as a bunch aren't really that appealing to me but when you put it in slash teams? I'm intrigued, yes.

[lennongirl.livejournal.com]

I'm still compiling fic, but for starters, I can give you two NC-17, the first being hot and fun and with a visual, the second just hot, but, DAMN.

One Hundres Words or Less

Admit It.

Let me know ;)

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Omg, sweet! Thank you! Going to read now.

[lennongirl.livejournal.com]

YAY! Enjoy *winks*

[friday82.livejournal.com]

That was interesting, honestly.:) Also, I'm always glad to read when someone does not ever plan to leave the QaF fandom behind. Makes me feel less odd. :) I'd tell you to pick some fandoms for me, but I don't think I have three that I'm still even remotely active in.:|

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I agree. I'm oddly comforted still seeing the Qaf love. I'll always hold the nostalgia candle burning brightly. I'm only active in one of the fandoms I mentioned! For you, I'll pick: Qaf, Queen, Tony Kushner! Have at it.
