Hello, all, I'm back!...ish.
These questions are courtesy of kindkit!
1) You can successfully lure everyone you like into one single fandom, e.g. one comics title, one movie, one trilogy telling a single story, etc. What fandom do you choose?
Oh boy, this is a loaded question. OK, so, of course, nothing is perfect and general caveats, but I think I'd have to go with The Darkside Detective.
Because DC breaks my heart, Yu-Gi-Oh has too many parts, but Darkside Detective is great.
NO WAIT, MAYBE MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000!
Wait, no.....
;___;
2) DW vs. Twitter as a site for fannish interaction?
Ooh, another tough one. I think Dreamwidth is better for long-form fan interaction and event stuff, but I do like Twitter's more... laid back style of posting random thoughts and then disappearing into the ether like some kind of shitposting Ghost of Fandom Past. Maybe it's because I don't do a lot of meta or such, I do mostly like shower thoughts type posts (thanks, ADHD, for limiting my brainpower to tweet-size comments!). But for interaction, I think Dreamwidth does do it a little better, because it's easier to curate who finds you and who you follow.
Of course, I think Tumblr actually was the true heir to both, as it allowed random thoughts AND longform posts. However, I wouldn't go back to that hellsite if you paid me now, so I guess this is where I live now.
3) You have to eat only one national/regional cuisine for an entire month. What do you pick? (Assume suitable accommodations for allergies, dietary needs, etc. will be offered.)
Just because I'm doing Italian this quarter on Duolingo, I'm gonna have to go with Italian food. All the carbs. All the meats. All the sauces. (and none of the olive oil because I'm fucKING ALLERGIC, THANKS DAD). But yes, there are accommodations and I'm eating more fettucine than is possibly healthy for one human being. I'm in carb heaven.
4) Do you think there's other sapient life in the universe somewhere? (Not a question about UFOs or alien visitors, just whether you think it exists.)
I think so. I'd say I hope so, but I'm sure there is, because, like, the arrogance of us to think we're not only the highest pinnacle of intelligence but that we can't see it, therefore it doesn't exist is amazing!
Besides, if there isn't, it's an awful waste of space.
5) Are you a re-reader, and if so, what are your favorite books to re-read?
You know, I really don't re-read often, mostly because I'm always trying to get to new books, but--
As soon as I typed that, I realized that I've re-read the Sherlock Holmes stories, like, a dozen or more times in my life and am about to do them again, so there it is, that's my answer. Mysteries are my comfort reads.
