turpsQuestions posed by Panda, thanks hon!
1. Have you ever named a pet (or an inatimate object) after one of your favorite fandom characters? If so, when and what?
Yeah, and this is a little embarrassing *g* We have a tropical fish tank and we used to have a guppy. He was beautiful, with a big blue fan tail, so you know, blue=electricity=Brennan. So it was Brennan the guppy lol. Oh and our car is called BB, it stands for BlairBabe *g*
2. In which fandom have you collected the most merchandise (or fan-made stuff)?
God I've so much fandom stuff. I've every Voyager video and all the Star Trek novels and info books, as well as autographs of most characters from all 5 series and a model Voyager that sits on my tv. It's so pretty, pewter with yellow nacelles that glow. But I've also all the Mutant X dvds and videos, *loads* of glossies of the cast and Victor as well as press packs, comics, zines, Victor's two playgirls and the catalogues he's modelled in. But again for Sentinel I've about 40 zines, all the eps with bloopers etc and printed glossies. I guess in terms of sheer volume it would have to be Trek but if I keep going as I am MX and TS will over take soon.
3. Have you ever made a songvid or written for a zine?
Yeah I have. I've written about half of a MX zine with JenCat doing the other half. It's a n/c story that been driving me insane! I can't wait until it's done and I can forget about the bloody thing. But I'll still trib again as zines rock my world.
4. What is your favorite part about being involved in fandom(s)?
The people. Sometimes fandom pisses me off so much, but because of it I've met people that I never would have done normally. My closest net friends live in France and California, no way would I have met them with out fandom. Then there's all the other people that I chat to. All so different yet fandom brings us together. It doesn't matter what you do, what you look like, there's always that shared bond. No one understands fans like other fans and I love that. I was at a Trek con this year, in this posh hotel and all the 'important' people were turning up their noses, yet I didn't give a damn as I sat with my Comm badge and programmes, talking trek and fannish stuff. No one in real life really understands why I go nuts over a character or a show, but other fans not only understand but encourage. I know that other fans are not all good, but mostly they are...snugs to you all!!
5. Do you incorporate fandom into your daily real-life? (ie. do you have pics of characters anywhere at work/school, or show off to your family/co-wrokers?)
Oh yeah. I'm known as a fan, and mocked for it but what they hell, I'll never shut up. I don't work but do have my bag decorated with key rings and badges. SO I've pics of Brennan, Jesse, Blair and Jim as well as Trek badges on full display when I'm out.
Hee that was fun. Anyone else want to interview me or me to interview them just comment.
