leave me a comment saying "BITE ME",
- i'll respond by asking you five questions so i can get to know you better.
- update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
1)What is your favorite mythological monster?
Vampires. I loved vampires before they were cool. Okay, scratch that, vampires were always cool. I loved vampires before they sparkled, back when Buffy was the It Girl to the hottest things to go bump in the night, when the book everyone asked you about when they found out you liked vampires was written by Anne Rice (tangentially, when I first checked the book out of the library, my mom asked me what I was reading and then told me to return it because I was too young for that book, and then I did. Parental guidance: that is how it's done).
2)If I was going to drop you into any fictional world, which would it be?
I'll take one ticket to Ile-Rien, please. AKA the best of Paris and London and their respective countries during a time period whose aesthetics I love (the 1940s, fyi) with level of woman's equality roughly equal to our current time period.
3)Which fandom you've been in has the most perfect gender dynamics?
Fandom or canon? To be quite honest, speaking just of the fandom, Naruto has one of the best I've seen. I've heard rumors of the epic Sakura bashing, but I was around for things like, you know, 80% of the comments to an anti-Karin post being about how Sakura is awesome too, why are you bashing one to glorify the other?
4)Do you think your astrological sign fits your personality?
It does to a ridiculous degree. I'm a Cancer and have four planets (the moon, the sun, Mercury and Venus) in that same house.
And it really reflected in my personality.
5)If you were going to pick a style of music that best describes you, what would it be?
Rock and roll, baby. ^_^

And another Leo! I have a lot of them in my life.
FMA was my very first anime and the first fandom I actually did well. (The other times I was just sticking my toes in and learning the ropes.)

Oooh! What was/were your first fandom/s? :D

Thankfully, I wasn't tech savy enough to know how to comment in a lot of places and it wasn't until later that I discovered livejournal.
By that time, however, I'd spent enough time in fandom to know how to behave politely, which I am really grateful for.
And I'm grateful that I never had the temptation to post my horribly ooc Buffy fanfics (like, I knew at the time they were ooc, that's how bad they were) were other people could see them, because I wasn't sure how one went about posting stuff online.
