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!

Ok, what with the what now? (I am only slowly catching up with the comments that were posted when I was asleep, and it is 4 in the afternoon! Productivity today=zero, oh well).

Becky met Clark? How did I not know this?

Hugh Laurie BABYSAT you? Damn!

Dude, my only claim to fame is that someone I went to grad school with used to babysat Uma Thurman. Ok, maybe I can count being friends with Dale Peck, but outside the NYC gay literary world I don't think anyone's actually heard of him, except maybe as the critic who said Rick Moody was the worst writer of his generation.

You are both, like, famous! Famous by association. ::Bows in awe::

I'm throwing productivity out the window today! *lobs*
It's 9:30 here, and I've going to see how long I can keep commenting without getting through my inbox... if it slows down, I will do some actual work. That's fair, right? ;)

Becky met Clark? How did I not know this?
Er... well it's possible that that only occurred in stick figure form, but personally I'm still jealous! ;)

Dale Peck rings distant bells with me! That sounds like a brush with fame... my Hugh Laurie connection was a real obscure one until recently. My uncle is an actor, so I've met a few of the old UK comedy scene people--Ronnie Barker used to scoff my gran's baking. Other than that, I'm a deadloss when it comes to fame. Some people are fame magnets! Me no. The best I can rustle is that my mum's met Robbie Williams (I do like that story actually...) and my cousin has discovered something awesome about a star but I can never remember what (she's an astronomer and worked for NASA for a while).

As an author, Dale Peck is most famous for his first book, Martin and John , a post-modern gay bildungsroman, although he has actually written quite a few things by now: The Law of Enclosures , Now It's Time to Say Goodbye , What We Lost , as well as a book of critical essays called Hatchet Jobs and a children's novel that just came out last year called Drift House. Though I was most excited about the story he *didn't* get to write--apparently he was asked to write an X-men novel on Magneto's backstory, but they wanted to emphasize the Holocaust backstory and he would only go so far with it, since he thought it was exploitative, so they withdrew the offer.

He has a wikipedia entry and everything. And I'm acknowledged in one of his books (under my real name), so I guess that makes me famous-by-association.

Oh, and I once worked on a play with the producer of Desparate Housewives , though he wouldn't remember who I am, so I don't think that counts.

Interesting! And yes, that definitely makes you famous-by-association. Wiki entries are the marker of fame these days, I guess!
