*waves at the new people*

Since there's been a recent influx, here's the "ask random questions" post. If you've got a question for me (whether you're new here or not), feel free. No topic is off-topic.
Meanwhile, for the people involved in the hyphenated-American conversation (or the Florida doctor experimenting on pregnant women to prevent "gender inappropriate" behavior in girls) -- LJ isn't emailing me my comments today. I'm sort of trying to keep up, but am actually pretty lost. I hope you all are getting comments though or having fun amongst yourselves or something. I'll catch up soon.
Finally, for those who aren't here for the ranting and the politics but for the porn: I've figured out the Jack/Ianto long BDSM fic I"ve threatened to write. So yeah. Probably won't touch it until after Bristol. But writing it, yes.
Now, dinner time, and Patty and I have some Buffy to watch.

Date: 2010-07-01 01:38 am (UTC)Is Torchwood the same as the more recent Dr. Who series? If not, what's the difference? I mean, I suppose I could Just Fucking Google It, but I haven't yet and here you are asking to be asked questions, so here I am stretching for questions to ask.
Why are you watching Buffy and Angel so long after they've gone off the air?
What's next?

Date: 2010-07-01 01:54 am (UTC)Torchwood is a spinoff series from Doctor Who, much like the Sarah Jane Adventures except for grownups, so lots of sex and death.
Amazingly, I never saw Buffy and Angel when they aired, but my partner is really into them, so we've been watching. Part of this is because she has to put up with so much chatter about my fandoms, part of this is because I needed to see them for the Bristol paper.
And that's what's next. I leave for the UK in a week to present this thing on fan reactions to character deaths at an academic conference. Which is pretty rad considering my academic credentials are a 15+-year-old BA in Journalism and my own, "kids, let put on a show" attitude.

Date: 2010-07-01 02:13 am (UTC)1. TEA. We should drink it soon. Ok, that was more of a comment. (Possibly post Bristol?)
2. Do you know Girlyman? (The band, not "do you know girlymen".) I have a reason for asking.

Date: 2010-07-01 02:27 am (UTC)I hope this doesn't sound offensive, but is there a reason you write slash and not femmeslash? I'm asking because I'm a big fan of your stories, but I don't think I've ever seen you slash females. Maybe I've missed it, or maybe there's a reason?
Also, my friend was asking me why I read slash when I am not attracted to men. Is it reasonable to say I find something erotic, but I myself would not like to partake in the activities I'm reading about?
Also, finally, can I friend you?
P.S. I am recently out of the closet as well as recently into fandom, so I apologize in advance if any of this is offensive. I don't have a very good internet voice, so things don't always come out like I mean them too :)

And sure. Friend away! I mostly only yell when people aren't trying.

Date: 2010-07-01 01:26 pm (UTC)Second, I feel like I really have to defend this, because it's not about wanting to bang David Tennant (not that there's anything wrong with that). But Ten. I'm interested in his really shit relationship with his own power and respond pretty strongly to his fucked up relationship with Jack as awesome ex-boyfriend superheroes. I love the arc that puts Rose in the other universe (I don't necessarily love what they do with her after that) and LOVE "Waters of Mars."
All of this said, the episode that made me fall in love with the show is a Nine episode, "Dalek." I wish Eccleston were less the way he is about his time on the show.

Date: 2010-07-01 12:46 pm (UTC)Also, to make this at least slightly interesting, what's the most unexpectedly cool or interesting place you've been? (Cool and interesting aren't meant to be synonymous there, so I'm afraid it's not the clearest question ever.)
no subject
Date: 2010-07-01 01:23 pm (UTC)That's a hard question, as I get to go to a lot of cool places and am a big fan of serendipity so a lot of sort of odd, magical shit tends to happen to me. For a not too exotic place, I remain floored by how really emotionally affected I am by Chicago's Millennium Park for no particular reason.
Most of the places I've really loved I knew that would happen going into it. But I suppose St. Katharine's Dock market in London is quite a thing for me. Patty and I stumbled on it randomly right after we landed in London and I've actually arranged my schedule on my next trip to make sure I get there, forgoing something else of emotional and scholarly interest to me in order to make it happen. God, that's a weird answer.
