Please Join Me For Pie and Fandom Discussions This Sunday

 At the moment, I am one essay away from being done will all the schoolwork of my undergraduate career. An essay that is currently off at the beta-reader, and thus I am unable to work on it. Doesn't that explain yesterday's posting schedule? Anyway, I feel like I'm slowly getting my mind back into fandom gear, so I went off to fannish5  to find some good questions that would hopefully get some fun Sunday conversations going in my journal (consider this my invitation to ignore all subsequence fannish5-approved Q&A and ask or answer a question of your choosing).

First, I learned that fannish5  has been going on since 2003, which kind of blew my mind. Secondly, when I started reading some of the earlier questions, I began to realize that there is quite a distinct difference between the earlier questions and the questions that will pop up currently each Friday.

Things I have noticed about the older questions:

–They skew towards a more old-school definition of fandom - more talk about zines, conventions, etc.

–The questions are much more general. Most of them are about movies or series as a whole, and less about individual characters.

–There is the assumption that you have only one fandom

–There is the assumption that you are into slash

Additionally, (and this is just a vibe I get) I have the feeling that the person or persons writing the questions were (at that point in time) totally unaware of anime fandoms.

And now, some retro fannish5  Q&Q:

( Death 5 )

( Ask Not What Fandom Can Do For You... )

( Convention 5 )

Also, a reminder: if you live in the United States, remember that today we switch our clocks one hour forward, regardless of how painful it is to do so.

Castle 1x05

Oh, wow, they really kicked the emotional impact up a notch this episode.

Also, laser tag. *dies* 

Oh God, My Brain. My Evil, Evil Brain

Okay, you know the into to Castle, episode six? Where Castle is energetically boinking a long haired readhead whose face we can't see? Oh god, my brain thought - there was that split second - I can't even type it out.

I'll be hiding under my desk now.

I'm Done I'm Done I'm Done!

 My teacher loved my final paper!

I'm don't have to do any more school work!

I just ran out into the living room and danced around with my roommate! She's taking me out for drinks later! I cannot textually render my delight!

Random Castle Thoughts

–It is solidly my personal fanon (to the point I can hardly imagine any different), that Alexis grows up and becomes a badass DA.

–The more I type the word 'Castle' the more I believe it's misspelled. What the hell is that 't' doing there in the middle? Lurking in wait for dyslexic English majors who have just finished all their schoolwork bo-yah! that's what. 

–Typically I go for longer hair, but whenever I catch a season two episode I really miss Beckett's short, flirty 'do from season one.
