Come to the SV social

[norwich36]

"I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party. The party with the...with the pants. The party with pants."
"Brick, are you saying there's a party in your pants and I'm invited?" (Anchorman)


No, actually the party is in the comments of this entry! Come and join the fun and meet new people in SV fandom. I would especially like to encourage you quiet folks lurking in the back--even those of you without livejournals of your own--to drop by and introduce yourselves. We're all a pretty friendly bunch here, and we like to make new friends. Fandom is more fun when you get involved and meet people, so why don't you stop by and say hi?

Here's a little mini-questionnaire, almost completely stolen from svmadelyn's glee week social, in case you need a conversation starter, but feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you are interested in answering:

1. Tell us something about yourself:
2. Likes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff):
3. Dislikes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff) :
4. What got you interested in Smallville?
5. What are your favorite SV episodes?
6. What SV fanfic do you reread most often?
7. Random facts (favorite food, color you wouldn't be caught dead wearing, pets' names, number of pairs of shoes you own, where you would live if you were a billionaire, etc.)

Happy delurking day! Come join the party!

Whee! X-files! Krycek! Another one of my old loves...

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

Limo rides! yes, that would bring anybody into the fold! :)

[teot.livejournal.com]

Lurking for *five* years? Thank God you decided to come out of the closet.

[supercaptain182.livejournal.com]

I think I'm in love!

[althea-astrea.livejournal.com]

A certain Bald hottie who can act like woa I started watching the show for the exact same reason!

Tattoos!! I want a tattoo! But I'm to coward!

What are your tattoos?

I had a tongue piercing, but got bored of it...

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh yummy! My mum does a brilliant hazelnut meringue cake with raspberries and cream. And I still recall the tartes aux framboises that I ate obsessively in Paris... Recently I've taken to mixing frozen raspberries in Greek yoghurt with a little sugar... yum!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more with your "dislikes" if I tried. Every last one of them.

Someday I totally want to meet you in person, Kate. It would rock!

[teot.livejournal.com]

Another person who likes Lex/Lionel! There's far too few of us.

[althea-astrea.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you like mpregs I did this whole rec list, it's at my LJ!

Seasons 4 & 5 (I mean, yes, he's Lex Luthor, he was supposed to go evil from the start, but it's just so painful.)

Yeah, I understand... matter of fact, I stoped watching the show

*waves enthusiastically*

Shooting a guy every once in a while does a body good, I say.

You know, I was never that into superheroes as a kid, but I love Spiderman now, and ADORE Clark Kent. So, I'm converted.

But see? Posts don't bother me with typos. Comments and posts they are like *destined* to have typos. I bet I'm making a typo *right*. *now*. It's when someone has written a fic and... you know what it is? And this just occurs to me. I feel like it shows a lack of respect for the writer's own work. Maybe it's the dancer in me but, like, you know in a dance performance, when you're showing what you can *do*. I want to be astonished by the *talent* and the *production* I don't want to see that you couldn't care enough about the ballet that your hair is falling out of your bun and your shoe ribbons are slipping out of place. It's distracting. Hmm... I dunno...

[teot.livejournal.com]

You hate anime? Even the gay, erotic anime? *gasp*

Re: Yay, party!!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

and the freaky thing in the back of his head
Hee! That thing is sooo fascinatingly hypnotic and oddly sexual.

I dress A LOT in primary colors
Me too! It also freaks me out a little, but I've been doing it for nigh on ten years now, so I'm resigned. What was weirdest was doing it while depressed. I was (ages ago) a very unhappy person in the brightest outfits ever invented! The juxtaposition of opposites has always been one of my things, I guess...

Good to meet you!

Never much liked Jonathan

Jonathan was in my "dislike" list for a long time. And sometimes, I wanted to shake Pete and slap him!

[bipolypesca.livejournal.com]

How sad is it that I have to split this because my post is too large? ::rolls eyes::

1. Tell us something about yourself: I'm 24, single, bisexual, live alone in a tiny apartment, and work for a book publisher. Something a little interesting about me, I think, is that everyone in my real life knows that I write slash, and what slash is, and what CLex is, etc. I have a bumper sticker on my car that says 'got slash?' I.E. I am out. I think I'm the only slasher I know who is totally and completely out .

2. Likes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff): Mmmmmm, CLex. SV is the only show still on the air that I watch. I'm head-over-heels for TW. I want to be Chloe's best friend, as she rocks. I'm addicted to sushi. I'm really impressed and excited about how SV came back from 4th season to do the incredible-ness that is 5th season. So, I guess I like successful comebacks. Ooh! And feedback! Feedback is luuuuuuurve, man. ::drool::

3. Dislikes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff): SV's Lana. Sorry, I just--::shudder:: Lana. Kristen seems nice, though. I think the thing I dislike the most in fandom is when people (fans) bash SV. Whining that there's not enough CLex, or the show has lost appeal, blah, blah, blah, is so silly and annoying, really. Oh! But! Dangling plotlines. That irks me sometimes. Bigots. Oh, wow, do I ever 'dislike' bigots...

4. What got you interested in Smallville? Weird story. I didn't want to be interested in Smallville. ::pauses as the chorus of gasps go around:: Yes, I know. I should be flogged. I've been into slash for over eleven years, and I have always jumped around from fandom to fandom (often I'd be interested in slash couples that don't even have a fandom, but that's okay, because I play well alone). When SV started, people who were interested in whatever fandom I was in at the time would say, 'Oh, you MUST see this new show, Smallville! It's soooooo slashy and the boys are soooooo hot!' and I would roll my eyes, 'Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm watching hobbit!luv right now, leave me alone.' I've always been that kind of person who can't be convinced into liking something by people who already like it. Have to find things on my own. Years went by, and I got to this weird point in my life--which had never happened before (or since)--where I didn't have anything to obsess over for months and months. If you've never had it, or you're not obsessive enough to understand what it can be like, believe me, it is a horrible, flailing feeling. Like... if you were pregnant, and at seven months, and all of a sudden, you woke up and it wasn't there . It was like I had nothing to latch onto, and I couldn't find anything to do so. Really awful, that, when you're an obsessive type like me. I'm a Netflixer from way back, and I saw SV there, and, sighing heavily, I decided to force myself to watch a disc. Hard work, it was. I think I had the disc home for a week before I even touched it. Well, the cinematography of the first ep blew me away! But I honestly didn't latch onto the slash right away. I had used to like Lois & Clark, and I love the Superman movies (Chris Reeve rocks!), so I was more interested in the Lana Lang character--but incredibly disappointed from the first second I laid eyes on her. Yeah, Lana's always rubbed me wrong--even right from the beginning, when I had no slash standing to encourage me to hate her. Anyway, I sent that disc back and a week or so later, itched for another--for all that pretty footage. When I got that second disc, something clicked. I zoomed through all three seasons in the space of a few weeks and started posting my first CLexy novel immediately after. If I had to bring it all down to one thing, though, that pulled me in, it wouldn't actually be the boys, or how pretty they are, or how incredible they are together. It was the cinematography that drew me in. It was the crew that snatched me into Smallville. (...this was a long answer ::is embarrassed::)
...and that's why I have to split it... if I can even post twice... which I don't know if I can...

[althea-astrea.livejournal.com]

This is making me hungry...

My mom does this meringue, chantilly cream and raspberry ice cake that is the best thing on the world. Honest.

And, I you like drinking, you should try this one: raspberry daikiri

BTW, I'm friending you!

[teot.livejournal.com]

Luthorcest! Not enough people are writing that now. Hmmm.

Part Two

[bipolypesca.livejournal.com]

GODS, this is embarrassing!

5. What are your favorite SV episodes? Ohhh, maaaaan. You know, I really loved Hypnotic. Just to watch Lana get--well, you know. No spoilers. ^_^ Umm, OH! Splinter! Splinter, Splinter, Splinter! Go, Tommy! Great acting, there--he just really made me proud of him there. The Pilot, Red, Stray, Ryan, Leech, Shattered, Heat, Prodigal, Rosetta (CR!), Exile, Obsession (one of only two het relationships I can see Clark in and not be too terribly CLex-hurt), Covenant (I didn't actually care for most of the episode, but the ending sequence is the best cliffhanger I've ever seen), Transference... That's a lot, isn't it?

6. What SV fanfic do you reread most often? I don't... really... much... ever. ::is embarrassed again::

7. Random facts (favorite food, color you wouldn't be caught dead wearing, pets' names, number of pairs of shoes you own, where you would live if you were a billionaire, etc.) Did I mention I'm addicted to sushi? Oh, good. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing... Orange. Not because I don't like it, but because it looks horrible on me. Bleh! I'm like... Night of the Living Pumpkin. I'm serious, it's a disgusting image. But I love black. Black, black, black... and grey. You know, later. After I've washed it a few times. ^_^ If I was a billionaire, I'd just travel all the time. For years. Eventually, I'd probably settle in San Francisco, but I'd want to keep a house in London and a penthouse in NYC. heh Yeah, I'm a dreamer. What else is random? Oh! I'm a pescetarian. That's like a vegetarian... who eats fish. ^_^ I love food. Soooo much. One of these days, I'm going to blow up like a blimp. I just know it. I have a lot of weird health problems, that's pretty random. Oh, and LJ is slowly sucking me in. That's random, and scary, and exciting all at the same time. And I can't say anything succinctly. I just go on and on and on. That's why this is so damn long--two posts long! Stopping now.

I'm sorry!! I'm sure there's some amazing great gay porn anime out there I'm just really *really* not a fan

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Yes, the fact that the Lexana has captured my attention is evidence that they did it very well... MR sizzles with anyone, of course, but I think KK's aquitted herself very well too. She's waay better with him than with Clark.

[althea-astrea.livejournal.com]

I love Adam. And Adina!

I'm friending you!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*GRIN* you're a lucky, lucky woman!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

Hi, Boppy! Hi!

I'm just getting started. Dude. Comments FOREVER. This is AWESOME!

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

I went and made a DS icon just to reply to this! How is it that I have no DS icons?
