I can't believe that I haven't dropped by before now. I also can't believe that the SV social is still going on! Holy crap! I'm seriously impressed with you all!!
So, to answer the questions:
1. Something about myself: I'm a grad student (just go my first MA!! yay!!) who is having a crisis on what she wants to do (Boo!!). I like India and Cultural Anthropology and Words and irony and people. I like people a LOT, but I'm also a bit shy around big groups of people. Like - say -- this crazy thing. Aiee! I'm also a dogcathorseprettymuchanyanimal person. ;P
2. I love CLex. I love Lex and Clark is nearly any incarnation. I LOVE to hate Lionel! There was never a darker day than when SV tried to convince us that Lionel had reformed. The very idea!!
I'm also a fan of Chloe and occasionally Lois, though I often feel that her character is too heavily written.
I also love making icons and fanart.
3. I dislike the way Lana is portrayed on the show. Everytime I begin to think that she has the potential to be interesting, the tensions and consequences that made her interesting vanish. It's a damn shame. Not the least because we have to watch so much of her screen time. I also dislike cruelty, rudeness and people who try to prop themselves up by knocking others down. Seriously not cool in my book.
4. How did I get interested in SV? Hah! Funny story! I was lurking big time in Highlander, where I was eating up the Methos/Duncan fic and feeling sad that I hadn't actually seen many of the episodes. There was a huge uprising of talk about Teh Gay on Smallville and after a year of resisting, I kind of started watching the second season. It certainly helped that CLex had much of the fantastic epic conflict that I liked in HL. It also helped that several HL writers were there to bridge me to knew authors. Not I'd have to say that I'm way more SV than I ever was HL. :)
5. Perry! Why does no one ever say Perry? I loved it! Lex comes to Clark's rescue when Perry is grilling Clark in the bar. He looks like a fucking avenging angel! And then when he goes postal on Perry to protect Clark. Plus, I like dork!Clark loosing control of his abilities.
I also like Heat, Zero, Transference, and Prodigal.
6. Which fanfic do I read most? That's hard. I reread most stories. But, if I have to go for which ones I've read most... Well. I reread "Seedy" and "Tomorrowland" from Rhi pretty frequently. I've also reread "Omiai" and "All American" from Too Much Plor and nearly all of Lenore's stuff, but the one single fic that I have read more than any other is Jenn's "Fetish." Clark touching Lex = GUH!
7. Random facts. Crap. Um. Ask me questions or name a topic and I'll give a random fact in response. ('Cause right now I got nothing.)
I'll be last!
