Day 12: Who is someone that you share the most fandoms with?

I think it would probably uisgich. We met in the LOTR fandom, did lots of collabs until we drifted to other things. Stargate SG1 and SGA. But then uisgich nagged me until I started watching Supernatural and we shared that fandom for many, many years. We did one fic together, but mainly were cheerleaders for each other's creative efforts.

I got aggravated with that show, and then discovered Captain America/Winter Soldier fandom (before the Winter Soldier movie came out), and then it was my turn to do the nagging. uisgich fell happily into the Stucky love. We haven't collaborated on anything in this fandom though. And Game of Thrones! Can't forget that - uisgich pushed me into watching the show after I had read the first book and decided I didn't have time in my life for an extensive, door-stop of a fantasy trilogy (it was still supposed to be a trilogy when I read the first one).

We beta for each other all the time, because even if we're not actively creating in a certain fandom, we share the same tastes and we've consumed the original media (whatever that happens to be). We're constantly pushing each other to try different things. Like I got her to watch Julie and the Phantoms most recently.

And Friday was errands too. I have a four-day weekend due to us totally not closing due to any sort of religious holiday, please. Anyway, I ran errands on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I got most of my errands done including picking up in the store the splurgiest of splurges, which I completely don't regret.

In the words of a wise woman:


I went by Half-Priced Books and picked up a book on backyards, including birds, insects, and flowers that I plan to use for art references. I also grabbed a calculus textbook that my son can help me work through over the summer. I'll pay him back by helping him with stats, since I took that pretty recently while in grad school.

Both college kids called to FaceTime yesterday and at one point were squabbling over who's turn it was. Some things never change.

I activated my HBO subscription yesterday so I'm caught up on Game of Thrones and I'll watch in real time the rest of the way. I've managed to get back into The Magicians and I'm halfway through Season 2. I sort of gave up in the middle of Season 1 because everyone was so whiny, especially Quentin and Alice. It's definitely improved. While HBO is active for the next month, I have a lot of movies marked to watched including the Mamma Mia sequel. I loved the first one and I hope the second gives me even close to the same amount of joy, although if Pierce Brosnan could not sing, that'd be great.

Today I have done nothing of note, other than read fanfic and write letters. I've been in pajamas the whole day and have no intentions of changing that until tomorrow morning. I've been a bad internet friend, but this is my last week of late work nights, so hopefully I'll be better about reading and commenting. I haven't even looked at my own journal and I miss hearing about everyone's doings!

I finished the title piece for the smallfandombang and sent it off to my author. I'm still working the main piece, but it's due on March 31, and I'm feeling okay about the progress.

I took my car in for servicing this morning, and then ran out to pick up a copy of Venom. We're having family movie night tonight as none of us have seen the movie. Venom is my son's favorite character from the Spider Man 'verse.

So when I previously said no more washi tape, I was lying. I got an order of metallic washi tape today. What? *shiny*

I've started up watching Umbrella Academy again and I hope to finish that before Game of Thrones comes back. My daughter has been watching seasons 1-7 in preparation for the final season. I don't have the time to do a complete rewatch, but I've been listening in on her rewatch, and picking up details I had forgotten. I didn't watch the show at all when it first came out and I watched seasons 1-6 over the course of a couple of months two summers ago. Then I watched S7 in real time.

My Spring Break is almost over!
