Pie: The Multi-Fandom Dessert
Oct. 29th, 2008 06:45 pmIt would seem that if fandom has a designated confection, it's pie. This confection holds a prominent place of honor in the following:
Twin Peaks (specifically, cherry)
**Stargate: SG-1
Numb3rs (specifically, pi)
Pushing Daisies
And of course:
Supernatural
And let's not forget:
*Sweeney Todd (specifically, meat pies . . . but we won't go there . . . )
***Smallville (Ma Kent's apple pie)
***In the Heat of the Night
(This post made for the express purpose of using my new icon. And because I just pulled a pumpkin pie out of the oven. Btw, pumpkin pie has got to the the easiest pie on the planet to make.)
*It's strange for me to think of Sweeney Todd as actually having a fandom, since fandom isn't something I usually associate with live theater. Of course, lots of shows have very avid and active fandoms, so maybe I'm just weird like that . . .

Drat you, Izhilzha!

(Okay, not really. But it's not like I needed *another* "late on the up-take" TV show.)
My brain is being co-opted, shang-hied, and otherwise eaten by the Brothers Winchester, originally of Lawrence, KS. It's all
izhilzha's fault, with her oh-so-capable accomplices Dean, and my own husband of all people!!!!
It's Jensen Ackles' fault, really. Well, Izhi's fault for introducing me, Geo's fault for providing the discs behind my back, and Mr. Ackle's fault for being such a freakin' talented actor. (I miss my theater peeps. Wah!!!!)
My problem is this: I only do one obsession at a time, and I'm not ready to leave LA and the Eppeses. But . . . ya know . . . Dean . . . the smile . . . the voice . . . the charm . . . the angst . . . Okay, so, I've never really gone for the "bad boy" type, not really, but dang!!! He reminds me of people I actually know, kinda. Especially some of his facial expressions.
What does it say that Izhi came to visit at the end of October, and by mid-November Geo and I have gone through S1 & S2 straight through, do not pass "Go," do not collect $200? That's just not right.
But dang!

Fandom as Time Capsule
Mar. 1st, 2007 04:23 pmSo I was crashing around my old fandom, The Sentinel, today--seeing what of my fic is still on-line, stumbling across a list in the Cascade Library of everyone's first posted fics (mine was way back in May 2001), get getting sort of nostalgic about the whole thing.
