Snowflake Challenge One

[turps]

In your own space, update your fandom information. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I've just given my sticky post a bit of an update and dust off here.

I also eyed up my user info and debated taking off my Frank/Mikey banner, and couldn't do it. Guess it's there for the duration.

I've started to take down the Christmas stuff today and am debating between having a day at home or going to see the new West Side Story this afternoon. I suspect the cinema may win.

Let me know what you think of WSS if you go!

[turps]

I will do.

I haven't seen any bad reviews yet which seems like a good sign.

Okay, okay, I keep seeing your name around (I know we share a few flisters), you seem very cool, and your fandom interests are relevant to my interests (winterhawk, you say?), so I'm just gonna do that subscribing thing, if that's okay?

Most of my journal is locked; you're welcome to have access if you want it, but don't feel obliged :)

(I still have Frankie shredding a guitar as my phone background and I can't. quite. bring. myself. to. let. him. go.)

[turps]

Of course it's okay, and I've just done the subscribe/grant access thing back.

I've seen your name around too, so it'll be a pleasure to get to know you more.

Winterhawk just makes so much sense to me. Sniper bros and past brainwashing trauma and two guys who are messed up in many ways and just want to make their way in the world. The only problem is, my Winterhawk is mainly comic based so when I see the tv shows I'm looking for Alpine, Bucky's cat and getting used to Lucky belonging to Kate. But yes, I love them lots.

I get it. I totally get it. Bandom was one of my biggest and most amazing fandoms, so I still cling on to some extent, even though it has changed so much.

Both Clint and Bucky are characters that massively appeal to me, because they're snarky and smart and competent (this... is a theme, I will admit it). But completely agree on them coming together over shared experiences. I think I wrote that once, actually (albeit movieverse rather than comicverse).

Bandom was an experience that I'm not sure I'll ever be quite willing to let go. But I'm okay with that. And every now and again, we still get new delights feeding in, and that's actually quite nice (one of the potential benefits of an RPF fandom, I guess)

Oh man, yes! I agree about that too.

*goes to check out mentioned fic*

Ha, that wasn't actually intended as self promotion, but if you want to read it, it's this one

I love that you're an OTC person! *g*

[turps]

I was made to be a OTC person I think.

I remember being obsessed with Joe Hardy when I was a kidlet and it went from there. I can enjoy shows/media but if they don't have that OTC for me, I'll never be all-in fannish about them.

I very much enjoy your updated sticky post - you were entirely the cause of my spiralling fall into Downton, and more specifically Barrow fandom (as a reader and watcher of things with Rob in them rather than anything else, but it started with your recc! :D

[turps]

That makes me so happy you fell into Downton too. I'm sure it's no surprise but I ended up in the Barrow fandom side also and keep nipping back to enjoy it every now and then :D

[turlough]

All hail to us OTC people!!!

Taking down that banner would have been just WRONG!

[turps]

OTC just makes so much sense to me.

I know, the banner has to stay!
