ATTF: friending time.  
Greetings, best bar on earth!!  Man I have missed this place. This time of year is always so crazy-busy, and there's always so much to get done that it seems to fly by in a kind of haze (I know I've pretty much been doing my own zombie walk just trying to make it through, and a huge shoutout to Bob for some much needed fic therapy; it's totally keeping my ass sane right now.)

But how goes it, y'all? [livejournal.com profile] shenshen77and I were talking the other day and she had mentioned that we hadn't had a good old-fashioned friending meme in a while, and I thought that sounded like a dandy idea. I also think we need a good impromptu dance party and a chance to chat and hang out with old friends and make new ones and just be our awesome selves.

So please come by and introduce yourself. Say a few words about how you found this place or this ship and what your interests are. Check out other people's comments. Feel free to stalk them (in a non-creepy and completely respectful way) and comment crash-- hell, this place was built on comment-crashing (you think I'm kidding but I'm not.) There is no form to fill out becuase I'm allergic to forms. Free jazz all the way, bb. ;)

ETA on the introductions: no need to go into detail on the personal stuff. share as much as you feel comfortable with. i always like being a little cautious on that front, this being the internets and all. <3

Pics, gifs, randomness, chitchat, melarkly, and general bedlam are always encouraged. I've missed you guys. <3

ALSO-- I'm posting a sign-up sheet in the comments for future ATTF posts. We have had some amazing guest hosts and I thank each and every one of you. Y'all are constantly raising the level of discourse (and squee) around here and it's awesome. So for anyone thinking about signing up-- don't be a stranger, m'kay?

Added!

I'm slowly working my way through BSG because I missed it the first time around. Other shows keep getting in the way but one of these days I'm going to get serious and at least get out the of the first season!

OMG BSG. LOVE OF MY FANDOM YOUTH. <3333333333333

Right? BSG is pretty much what got me into shipping and LJ! It seems like there are so many of us here that can be traced back to BSG (and K/L in particular)-- I love it!

(I feel like that should have a term... fandom lineage? ancestry?)

first fandom? prime fandom? origin fandom?

Mothership, maybe?

lol. i love it, but i think mulder/scully has already taken that moniker.

baseship perhaps? ;P
[identity profile] kl-shipper1.livejournal.com on December 8th, 2012 04:38 am (UTC)
Forgot about that one! But baseship is equally as perfect, considering the show in question...

That's it-- I hereby declare "baseship" to be the term for our first ship! (Now I just need the "it is law!" gif... *g*)

Adding back!

I didn't catch BSG the first time around either, but maybe it's a good thing I didn't-- I don't know if I could have dealt with the long hiatuses halfway through the season. But despite any criticism/annoyance I might have with it, when BSG is at its best (for example, season 1), it's really good, so I would definitely recommend it! Have you seen any of it already, or are just planning on starting?

The two that I ship (Kara and Lee, or Starbuck and Apollo) actually remind me of Clint and Natasha in some ways (it might even be part of the reason that C/N attracted me so much), so I would be interested in seeing what you think about them after you've finished watching BSG.

I've watched some of the first season. Yes, I would have gone crazy with the waiting! I'm horrible at it!

The whole series is available on Hulu Plus (where I watch my TV lately) so I have no excuse. I just need to make it a priority!

I already know I love Kara. Who wouldn't? She's awesome!
