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!

1. Tell us something about yourself:
I’m a 40 year old Real Estate secretary and I’m single. I’m pretty shy so I don’t usually step out and do things like this but I thought it might be fun.
2. Likes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff):
I love Tom Welling and Erica Durance as Clark and Lois. I ship Clois but I’m perfectly happy just seeing them progress their friendship along. I want to see them develop that bond that will one day make them soul mates but not lose all the snaky attitude because that‘s what makes them so fun to watch. Former fandoms include Harry Potter and the X Files. I love anything Disney, especially Winnie the Pooh. Disney World is my favorite vacation spot. I’ve been 8 times.
3. Dislikes (characters, ships, genres, TV shows, actors, real life stuff) :
Not a big Lana fan, especially with what they have done with her character lately. But I think she and Lex work in an odd sort of way. I hate rude people and people who think their way is the only way and won’t concede a point to save their lives.
4. What got you interested in Smallville?
I happened to see the commercial for the Smallville marathon on ABC family at the beginning of the fourth season. I was making cards that Saturday afternoon so I sat down in front of the television to watch the pilot and was hooked by the time Jonathan told Clark his parents weren’t from around here. I didn’t budge the rest of the day and went out and bought season 1 & 2 DVDs that next week.
5. What are your favorite SV episodes?
Pilot, Red, Ryan, Exile, Memoria, Crusade, Transference, Commencement, Reckoning
6. What SV fanfic do you reread most often?
I’ve never read any fan fic twice. There is so much out there to read I haven’t even gotten to all that I want to read for the first time.
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.)
I have a cat named Midnight who thinks he rules my universe. Purple is my favorite color. I love to read, romance or mystery, doesn’t matter as long as it is well written. I like to write when time and the muse allows it. I love Italian food and chocolate. I live for chocolate.

Nice to meet you! I *love* your icon. I haven't actually seen "The Fog," but the stills from it are SO PRETTY. I love that scruffy look on TW.

Nice to meet you too. Thanks for getting this party started!

You're not missing much having not seen The Fog. The only good thing I can say about it is that Tom looks very pretty in it. He does scruffy very well.
beet: a beet (Hee!!)

I, too live for chocolate! (And coffee.) But chocolate! Mmm!

And since we already know we both like Smallville, I'd say that makes us good. Nice to meet you. :)

But, hey! Why'd you abandon me on the 4th page? Did you slip a little something to the bouncer to get in over here? ;)

[identity profile] reneec.livejournal.com 2006-05-27 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Apparently I knew the secret password. ;)

Coffee isn't my thing. I'm more a Sundrop kind of girl. (It's a regional soft drink made here, like Mountain Dew but with more of a acidy kick) That's how I get my caffeine rush.

Nice to meet you too!

Oh, Clois fan! *glomps*
I want to see them develop that bond that will one day make them soul mates but not lose all the snaky attitude because that‘s what makes them so fun to watch.
Oh, yes! That's exactly what I'd like to see too. I like the little glimmers of fondness we've had--like when Clark looked sad for a moment when Lois moved out. I'm quite happy with them just remaining friends too--I appreciate that pushing them too far along the path to coupledom would throw the show out of kilter with its original premise. But I do love Erica as Lois--she brought a real spark to the show in S4 for me.

Oh, chocolate... how I do long for it right now. *is on a diet and PMS-y*

I love when they show them getting along and progressing their friendship like the end of Fade and Oracle. It's nice to see another Lois fan too. I think Erica does a great job with what they give her. I hope she gets even better material next year.

I love reading your reviews of the eps, btw. I've never commented (bad me) but you give such insight and I love how you draw the parallels between the character and the themes of the show. You make me see things I might have missed or think about things in a way I hadn't before.

Yes, I think Erica does a great job too. As you say, I hope she gets better material next season--it's difficult to be a parttime cast member without a real story arc of your own! But fingers crossed they work her into the plots well in S6!

And thank you so much for the feedback! *g* It's always lovely to hear from people I don't even know are reading... I know people don't always want to comment on meta unless they have something to point out, which is fine, but it's lovely to hear you've got something out of it! Good to meet you.
