Come to the SV social

"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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Sadly, it was one of the highlights of my life.

Wait, sadly? What the hell am I saying? I have a huge damn crush on her!! She's AWESOME. *silly grin*

I've only seen her in Xena (and, umm, Touched by An Angel. Don't mock, I only watched it because Andrew was cute), but I totally had a crush on her in Xena. I always wanted to know why there wasn't a lot more Xena/Callisto slash, dammit! I thought Xena/Gabrielle was boring, but Callisto--DAMN.

I'm using my most girlslashy icon, since I don't have a Xena icon.

Hee! I'd have to agree with you on the Xena/Callisto. Xena/Gabby *was* boring. Xena made Callisto who she was and in lots of ways, vice versa... it gave them that edge, and they were just a little in love with the power the other had. *sage nod*

And huh. I don't have a Xena icon, either. How sad. I'm a very bad fangirl.

You *are* a very bad fangirl Jules. Very bad. *frowns at you more*

I'm just sorta gonna butt in here for a minute cause - ICON!

Mac! Veronica! Mac/Veronica!

[livejournal.com profile] tehjules told me to come check this comment out before she headed off to bed and now I see why.

It's an absolute crime that there isn't more Xena/Callisto! So much more interesting than Xena/Gabby! Which is possibly because I'm not a big Gabrielle fan. But I mean really. Callisto and Xena had such a complex, intense relationship. It made for great drama. Plus they had way more chemistry than Xena and Gabrielle.

...and I too may have watched Touched by an Angel for Andrew. Not that I'm admitting anything mind you!

*has and uses her recently acquired Xena/Callisto icon*

Yeah, I'm not really very active in VMars fandom, but in my head I'm a HUGE Mac/Veronica shipper.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your icon. Where is a good place to get Xena screencaps, do you know?

I did eventually start warming to Gabrielle, but I totally agree with you that Xena and Callisto had a TON more chemistry. And Xena really *created* Callisto as she was, so like you say, their relationship was much more complex. Besides which, Hudson Leick is amazingly gorgeous, whereas that actress who played Gabby didn't really do anything for me.

I miss Xena. I wish i'd have been both older and known about this strange fandom thing when it was on.

Sky One (a tv channel now it only shows the simpsons over and over) used to do 'girl power fridays' which was Buffy leading into Xena it was so awesome, I only started watching Buffy *because* of Xena.

Callsito was the best nearly villian not quite because shes really just so damaged but in an evil kind of way villian ever. I miss her too...*weeps*

Word!

Xena was the bestest until it decided to go into crazy shit territory. I mean really... everything you said about Callisto being true and she turns out to be an *angel*, literally?!? Puh-leaze, people. Let the woman have some dignity as oneofthemostbadassalmostvillains EVA.

All in all, I miss it, too. *cries with you*

GAH! You had to bring up the angel thing didn't you? And if that wasn't bad enough she gets reincarnated as Xena's miraculously concieved daughter. Geeze. It was like everything they had going with the character was forgotten. Stupid Xena. Stupid Tapert. *grumbes*
