Tell me you want to play and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. Then update your journal and answer the following questions:
laurashapiro gave me Doctor Who, BSG & Fringe.
Doctor Who
What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Sat down to watch 'Rose' the night it aired; love at first sight. Then I started getting internet-fannish about it around s3, which is also the time my friends were enabling me into the Classic series, the Big Finish audios, etc etc. I now have books, audio CDs, DVDs, soundtracks, posters, action figures, multiple autographed things and various other bits and pieces of merchandise including a pop-up Weeping Angel because my dad thought it was funny. *fist shake*
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
It's hard for me to imagine not loving the show - I've certainly had periods of going off it before, see the year of specials and manpain, but I always come back again. It could happen, of course, but I hope it doesn't. Whether it'll remain my primary online fandom post-Ponds remains to be seen. I may jump on board writing fic about the new companion, or I may end up hunkering down in my corner making things about Amy and Rory way past the point where most people care, or I might spend more time somewhere else. Who knows! But I would be kind of excited to *not* break up with my major fandom for once, that would be super.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
Eesh.
-- Classic series: City of Death, Five Doctors, Battlefield.
-- Big Finish audios: The Church and the Crown, The Kingmaker, The Time of the Daleks (DALEKS QUOTING SHAKESPEARE YOU GUYS, IT'S AMAZING) the Zagreus series.
-- New series: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Smith and Jones, Blink, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, Vincent and the Doctor, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, The Doctor's Wife.
... what! It's a big canon!
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Hahaha just a bit. Fic, vids, podfic, graphics, meta, I mod some comms, I cosplay - yeah.
Do you think more people should get into this fandom?
Well, the more the merrier, obviously! Especially if you want to make Ponds fanworks for me to squee over. :D But it's a big enough thing that I feel like everyone knows about it and if you want to watch it, you're watching it. *non-committal hands* I rarely get preachy about my shows because they're often so big already. The two box sets I tend to thrust at people are Avatar: the Last Airbender and Sarah Connor Chronicles, because they're kind of perfect. Everything else I love, well, if you love it too then that's awesome, if not, that's fine!
Battlestar Galactica
What got you into this fandom in the first place?
A bunch of people on my flist were watching it, and I had essay deadlines. (This is how I mainlined a lot of my TV during uni.) I caught up right before the finale aired.
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I'm not sure I would ever consider myself as having been in the fandom as such - I've vidded it, and watched a lot of other vids for it, but I never really got immersed in it or read a lot of fic anything.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
Downloaded. Boomer/Caprica = robot revolutionary OTP. Also the whole New Caprica arc. Those were the days.
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Not really - I have made a vid, and have another one I might make sometime. It's a suuuuper depressing one about Dee and Gaeta, though, and I want to exist but I'm not sure I have the heart to make it. Maybe I should buy someone in an auction sometime and make them do it for me.
Do you think more people should get into this fandom?
BSG is one of those shows that was really, really awesome for me for a long time and then made me sad and angry, so I wouldn't recommend the show unconditionally to anyone. Also it's very dark and violent even when it's good so it's certainly not for everyone.
Fringe
What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Everyone was talking about this Olivia Dunham person and she sounded pretty fabulous! I started watching it, and everyone was right.
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I don't think Fringe is ever going to be a major fandom for me - I'm working on a vid right now and I do have some fic ideas, but it doesn't quite hit my 'must make all the fanworks' buttons.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
Bound, Ability, Jacksonville, Brown Betty, Over There, Olivia, The Abducted, Making Angels.
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I don't really feel like I'm 'in a fandom' until I'm subscribing to communities/hunting for fic etc, so Fringe is more a show that I watch and talk about with my friends and also am making some things for. I do have a lot of flaily squee for Olivia and Astrid in particular, though. <3333
Do you think more people should get into this fandom?
Given that this season has not really been keeping my interest, let me see how the finale plays out and I'll get back to you on that one. The Olivia Dunham Show is amazing, however, when the show remembers that's what it is. Beware a distressing amount of body horror, though! (I keep forgetting that I should never watch Fringe with food in case it's a gross-out episode. D:)

Yes, to all of this. Sigh. Olivia is so wonderful.

I know. As I was bemoaning the other day, I don't understand why they've set up so much fascinating stuff with her character right from s1 only to seemingly become really uninterested in loads of it. I want Olivia the reluctant superhero discovering her powers, dammit! Sigh.

Also, pick me!

For you: Game of Thrones, Buffy, Legend of the Seeker.

Probably my all time favourite, that...
I do have a lot of flaily squee for Olivia and Astrid in particular, though. <3333
Astrid is marvellous and should probably have her own show. IMO. I'm looking forward to catching up with the latest season 'cos I gather there's a very Astrid-centric ep...
Beware a distressing amount of body horror, though! (I keep forgetting that I should never watch Fringe with food in case it's a gross-out episode. D:)
I dunno, I'm pretty easily squicked, but there's only been one Fringe episode that's had me reaching for the "off" button (it was one with insects, always a major squick for me...)...
