Fandom History Meme

1 - Your current OTP
As of right now, it's Moriarty/Athelney Jones from Anthony Horowitz's Moriarty.

2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Christopher Foyle/Rex Talbot.

3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Reylo.  God, the fans are fucking terrible.

4 - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Dick Grayson/Jason Todd.

5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Bruce stared as the young man bent over to tie up the Joker.

“Ass….”

The young man turned around.  “What?”

Bruce stared into his masked face.  “Um… I… wanted to ask you, um.”

Also, my fic The Art of the Deal is easily the most ridiculous thing I've written.
 

6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
I've been in and out of the Batfandom for years, since I was a kid, really.

7 - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Honestly, probably Holmes/Watson.  I was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes as a kid, and my favorite movie at the time was Without a Clue.

8 - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series

Animated/anime, I guess?  I don't do very much shipping from fandoms with real people in them.

9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Bro, I took one look at the Star Wars fandom and noped the hell out of there.  But for a while, I fell out of the Batfandom because it got really hostile.

10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Actually, Batfandom.  I found it all over again when I joined Tumblr in 2012/13.

11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I try not to interact with people in the Batfandom, because it's either young people arguing that Batman/Robin is pedophilia, or sanctimonious older fans picking on younger fans.  I'm too old for all that shit.

12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

FAT EARTH-MOTHER POISON IVY, OH BOY!!!

13 - Your favorite fanart or fanartist

I don't play favorites.  (St00pz)

14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Again, I don't really have favorites.  (Stitch)

15 - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

Well, I've got my music on, and right now it's Hold My Hand by The Rutles, which just makes me think of a '60s Bruce/Dick.

16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Trucking AU:  The dock worker and the customer service rep at a trucking company find that their lunches and breaks correspond and oh no, now I caught feelings.

17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

I don't know that I've abandoned any ships.  I had done for Bruce/Dick for a time because of Tumblr drama and bullshit, but I came back.

18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

I honestly thought nobody else shipped Moriarty/Athelney Jones until I found two (2) fics for them.

God, rarepairs are a bitch.

19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

I don't even know.  Um...trans Kaiba makes the most sense, because what trans guy do you know who hasn't wanted to create an elaborate death-based theme park to destroy his enemies?  I mean, I know I have, hahaha...ha.....

20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was?

It was a CardCaptor Sakura fic with Touya and Yuki where Yuki wakes up at 3am wanting pancakes.  Every now and then, it still gets notes, lmao.

21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created?

I love all my children equally.

22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping

I'd say no, but I do find if characters have good chemistry, I automatically start shipping them.  But I don't go in deep with most things.

23 - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

I don't have five fandoms.
OK.  I can do this.
Batman:  Dick Grayson
Sherlock Holmes--ACD:  Sherlock
Foyle's War:  Rex Talbot
Moriarty:  Athelney Jones
Yu-Gi-Oh!:  Seto Kaiba

24 - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Batman:  Bruce/Dick
Yu-Gi-Oh!:  Seto Kaiba/Katsuya Jounouchi
Foyle's War:  Andrew Foyle/Rex Talbot

25 - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from

I don't think I'm in any fandoms without pairings.  >.>

26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
OH god I have so many thoughts about the book Moriarty that I want to share, but nobody's fucking read itttttttt.  I have thoughts about how to change the ending, because it killed me, and yet, it's so perfect as it is, and uuuuuuuuuuugh.

15 Pairings Meme, Redo

Six ships you're into right now:

1.  Bruce/Dick
2.  Bruce/Selina
3.  Moriarty/Athelney Jones
4.  Kaiba/Jounouchi
5.  Andrew/Rex
6.  Sherlock/Watson

Three ships you liked but don't like anymore:

7.  Dick/Barbara
8.  Dick/Tim
9.  Honda/Jounouchi

Four ships you never liked:
10.  Dick/Jason
11.  Andrew/Sam
12.  Bruce/Barbara
13.  Superman/Wonder Woman

Two ships you're curious about but don't actually ship:
14.  Holmes/Moriarty
15.  Poirot/Hastings (ha!, bet you didn't see that one coming)

And now, the weather questions (Note:  Hella spoilers for Moriarty):

Why do you dislike 11 (Andrew/Sam) so much?

I think they have better chemistry as friends.  Although I could see them being happy together, I think it would be Sam settling for Andrew instead of really loving him.

Who is someone you know that ships 14 (Holmes/Moriarty)?

I actually don't know anyone personally, but I know people ship it.

What would be your ideal scenario for 3 (Moriarty/Athelney Jones)?
Athelney alive. *sobs*  That's all that I want.  Ideally, Moriarty would hang around as Chase and do their little consulting detective business for a time.  There would be no truly happy ending for my boys, but at least they'd both still be alive.



What is your favourite moment for 1 (Bruce/Dick)?

Ugh, what isn't my favorite moment?  Anything with the two of them happy together, really.  As Batman and Robin, Batman and Nightwing, Bruce and Dick, anything.  They're like, the universal constant.

How long have you been following 6 (Sherlock/Watson)?

Since I was a wee shipper as a child.

What's the story with 8 (Dick/Tim)? What made you stop liking/caring?

Well, I don't really have any strong feelings about the ship, is the thing.  I've written it, but I don't really see it myself.

You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose from 10 (Dick/Jason) or 12 (Bruce/Barbara).

Bruce/Barbara, for sure.  DC Bruce Timm has some big thing where they really want to ship her with him, but they keep aging her down and that's :////

Which ship do you prefer, 2 (Bruce/Selina) or 4 (Kaiba/Jounouchi)?

Don't make me choose.  I guess Kaiba/Jounouchi, because I love their antagonistic push-and-pull.

What interests you about 15 (Poirot/Hastings)?

I sorta half-ship it?  I just need more material to ship it fully.

Why did you stop liking 7 (Dick/Barbara)?

When DC decided it was endgame for both of them, despite the fact that it never fucking works.  They're best as exes who happen to be great friends.  And like, that's not a bad thing.

Did your waning interest in 9 (Honda/Jounouchi) kill your interest in the show manga?

Not really?  I just don't really ship them anymore.

What's a song that reminds you of 5 (Andrew/Rex)?
Rough Boys by Pete Townshend.  Ugh, my heart.

If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?

Sherlock/Watson and Moriarty as Chase/Athelney Jones.  Like, could you imagine?  The whole time, Sherlock and Moriarty are mentally and verbally sparring, seeing who's going to call the other out first.  Athelney would be starstruck by Sherlock.  Watson would be embarrassed by all three of them.

Have 2 (Bruce/Selina) kissed yet?

Bruh, they've done everything but have sex on panel.

Did 4 (Kaiba/Jounouchi) have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
Well, they're not canon, so...no?  But in my fics, they do, so there.

What would make you start shipping 14 (Sherlock/Moriarty)?
Good fic.  And none of the BBC show fic.

If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 (Bruce/Selina) or 6 (Sherlock/Watson)?

They're both so canon.  I guess Sherlock/Watson, because I'm afraid of how DC would screw up Bruce/Selina.

You have the power to decide the fate of 10 (Dick/Jason). What happens to them?

They stay brothers and friends.

Which do you dislike the most?

Bruce/Barbara.  So much.

Which of these ships do you like the most?

I love all my children equally.

Commentary Meme

Pick a paragraph (or any passage between... let's say 100 and 600 words) from anything I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Please do this with any fic I've written.  Yes, even the ones that aren't super popular.  Let me riff my own work.
