Posting meme

[bironic]

That thing where you don't post for a while and then you don't post because it's like a logjam? That is happening.

Re: the meme going around where friends request topics and you write about it on a given day in December: Let's try that! I can't commit to a post a day before winter break, but maybe three times a week? Will we even get that many requests?

ETA: Requested topics so far:

- fanvid recs! hmmm maybe some fun dancey vids?
- What's your favorite vid you've ever made, and why?
- Reminisce about your first fandom: what did you love about it?
- What got you into fandom? Does the same thing spark your passion now, or is it something(s) else that keep you inspired?
- Favorite actor and why you love them
- Favorite comic (you can interpret that as comic strip, web comic, or comedian)
- Science topics you would love to be asked to write about
- What combination of things would make for the Best TV Show Ever?
- Which female character would you most like to be? Which male character would you most like to be?
- What combination of things would make for the best fanfic ever?
- Anatomy!
- Your favorite holiday destination that you've already visited, and your favorite of the places you've not yet been to. (Intergalactic traval will not be allowed for the purpose of this question!)
- What do you use for media when starting a vid? Do you rip DVDs, convert .avi files or what? What editing software do you use and why? What is the next thing you want to learn/try in writing or vidding?
- 1-3 non-kink/sexual themes that are significant to you in media and why

Thanksgivukkah happened. Loved hanging out with my sister, as always; joined her and her friends for the first time on Leftover Thanksgiving Friday for their traditional playing of Cards Against Humanity; got a ride back yesterday from her and her current touring musician. Got to know dad's fiancee's extended family a little more. Wore a silly turkey hat. Ate a lot. Read a book (How We Die by Sherwin Nuland). Only had to go to the supermarket twice. Watched more TV than is advisable (er... Star Trek III, Star Trek IV, TNG, South Park, Moominland cartoons, some Peanuts movie that took place in the French countryside, Top Gear, What Maisie Knew [again], That Guy Who Was In That Thing, TOS "Amok Time," probably other stuff I'm forgetting. Ah, right, Independence Day, and an episode of a travel show, in which Joel McHale went to Northern Ireland and had style). Avoided manual labor and basement clean-up except for helping move an armchair and a bookcase and the contents of the bookcase up a flight of stairs. Avoided heavy conversations until the last morning. Exchanged gifts. Did not make a turkey menorah, alas.

Now back to the land of functional computers. Even though Hanukkah is half over, 'tis the season of consumerism/sales and parties and lights against the early nightfall, and coming up soon for the first time in years, the aforementioned winter break. Happy December.

fanvid recs! hmmm maybe some fun dancey vids?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

On the list. *thinking cap*

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

If you want requests for things you might choose to post about...

What's your favorite vid you've ever made, and why?

Reminisce about your first fandom: what did you love about it?


(Also: happy Chanukah!)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

I do want requests! Thank you. And thank you - may the last nights be joyous ones, and full of light.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

p.s. when you asked, "Reminisce about your first fandom: what did you love about it?" what were you defining in your head as "fandom"?

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Totally up to you. First canon you fell in love with and wanted to tell stories about? First canon you actively wrote stories about? First canon about which you wrote stories which you shared with other fans? Whatever it means to you, I'm cool with that. :-)

What got you into fandom? Does the same thing spark your passion now, or is it something(s) else that keep you inspired?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

On the list. Hmmmmm.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

p.s. How did you mean "fandom" in this context? Otherwise will have several answers. :)

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I guess I mean reading and writing about shows or other canons you love. But if you define it differently, feel free to elaborate on the most appropriate definition!

[cincodemaygirl.livejournal.com]

Favorite actor and why you love them?

Favorite comic (you can interpret that as comic strip, web comic, or comedian)?

Science topics you would love to be asked to write about?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hooray, topics. Now on the list.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

What combination of things would make for the Best TV Show Ever?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

That is a good question! Adding to the list.

[mific.livejournal.com]

Which female character would you most like to be?
And which male character would you most like to be?

(cheating with two questions - feel free to answer them separately!)

[synn.livejournal.com]

I'm going to rip from another requestor; what combination of things would make for the best fanfic ever? (obv. best from your perspective)

[amnisias.livejournal.com]

Your favorite holiday destination that you've already visited, and you favorite of the places you've not yet been to. (Intergalactic traval will not be allowed for the purpose of this question!)

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

What do you use for media when starting a vid? Do you rip DVDs, convert .avi files or what?

Also: what editing software do you use and why?

Additionally: what is the next thing you want to learn/try in writing or vidding?

You can pick one of these if you like, or combine them, or ignore them!!!

[synn.livejournal.com]

1-3 non-kink/sexual themes that are significant to you in media and why? (eg, you know I have a thing for disguises, but also things around breathing/not breathing).

[bironic.livejournal.com]

To confirm - that's non-kink and non-sexual, yes?

[synn.livejournal.com]

yeah, basically themes that are not generally associated with kink or sex. e.g, held down =no, gift giving =yay. alright if you've enjoyed it as akink in fic, as long as you originally and primarily conect to it in a non-sexual way.
better?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Good! Thinky.
