Current mood: jubilant

WELCOME TO THE IJ QAF FRIENDING PARTY
Whether you're a lurker, a little shy or a big mouth like me, we're all here for the same reason: WE LOVE QUEER AS FOLK
and we want to celebrate our love! One of the loudest messages from QaF is about how you can pick your family and that's how I like to think of all of us.
we are family rainbow

Now we just all need to be introduced and that's what this party is for: meeting new woody's friends and 511 family

How does a friending party work? Comment here and let people know that you're inviting others to add you to their flists.
In your comment, please introduce yourself a bit. (see the comments for my intro *hee hee*).

If you don't know what to say, just tell us how you found QaF or fandom or both. What's your fave fic or who makes the best icons? Maybe mention where you live (your timezone). Or, it can be just as simple as commenting with a smile :D.

If you're too shy to comment, please know that ANYONE who comments here is willing to have you add them as a friend. Also, feel free to ask people questions or jump into conversations and know that everyone is accepted and loved, even if English isn't your first language. After all, this is all about TEHLOVE thriving!

wow, late as usual

so, um...

I saw the first half of the first season when it originally aired and then other stuff happened and i lost track of the show.

in 2005 i was unemployed, (imagine that :P) and off my meds and i had netflix. i was tearing through TV shows i'd never gotten around to seeing and then i got the first three discs of QAF and remembered why i started my own site and posting board in 20000 (i did, it's still around somewhere, i just can't remember the address)

i watched all of season one and the first half of season two... my BFF mailed me season three to borrow, (he knows he's never ever getting it back) then i bought season two and watched the second half, and then you season four on netflix, (by then i owned seasons 1-3) i marathoned season five on demand in august after the last show had already aired.

i've told this story a hundred times. i watched 513 at like four in the morning, i woke up several hours later with an anxiety attack regarding the ending, (i've changed my 'tude about the ending since then) but at the time, i just started writing... and writing... and writing...

and that's EDR.

i'll probably someday stop writing about brian and justin, but it has yet to happen.

friend me... i don't friend back too often because i'm weird, but i rarely flock posts and all my fiction is public, so um...
yeah, that's me and my QAF insanity.

Ilaria here!

If you can suffer the occasional life-so-hard post from me (and with occasional I mean...I mean. I mean often-occasional, you know?), then friend away! :D

I make graphics, but right now I am taking a break (or trying to, anyway). So what do I post about. Uh. I whine! :D

Once I was a good girl...picspams, silly posts every other day...now I have no energy left! But I still love qaf v.v.v.v.v.v..v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v...v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v..v.v.v.. much and Giastin is my hero to the end of the world. I might even make picspams again one of these days xD

*cough*

I am Italian and I don't do spelling. Lately I have been a shit at leaving feedback and commenting. But but omg. I am working on it, swear (once I was so good at feedbacking, too ç__ç I have come a long way ç__ç)!

^__^

Wow. Now, wouldn't you friend me after such an intro :|

Ahhh!!! I found qaf accidentally two years ago, gobbled the whole series up in like two weeks, found the lj fandom only a few months later and lurked like woah for several months. I ate my way through all the classic ficcage during that period :D

And then! And then I decided to step into the light and started stalking openly the people I had been lurking on as a lurker.

Yes :D

Late to the partay!!!

Saw the friending party posted earlier today, posted my icons, took a nap and then forgot to come back for my intro in here! Now no one will see me! UGH!

I'll make my QAF story short...Saw part of season 1 during a marathon and picked up at season 2 during the original airings on Sho. Watched the rest of the series week to week. Never knew anything about fandom back then so I obsessed over QAF and BJ in the solitude of my house.

Around episode 506 I went looking online for info about the series. Ended up at the Showtime boards and lurked over there until the series ended. Found another QAF board that I was actively involved in until it sort of died off. I was still looking for a BJ fix so I started lurking on LJ around the beginning of 2007. When the QAF communities and a bunch of fans decided to move to IJ I moved along with them. On IJ I don't lurk anymore! Having a fresh start in a new place really pulled me out of my shell and I've made wonderful new friends because of it! Around the fall of last year I tried my hand at making icons and I love it. Still learning but getting better hopefully! I do the occasional picspam and personal posts as well. (I do tend to f-lock my personal posts though. My personal life is not for all people on the interwebs to read!)

Feel free to friend if the urge possesses you!

(Not so short after all!)

I never had any premium chanels, so I didn't see QAF until this past summer. At the urging of a friend in another fandom, I borrowed season one. Despite working some 12 hour days in the three weeks it took me to mainline the DVD's, I think I averaged about 9 episodes a day at one point. It was love at first--lamppost.

Although I love to write (and can even get paid for it, too) I feel totally lame in this fandom because I doubt I could write a sentence for any of the characters and stay in character. I don't know why. But I LOVE reading fic, I love the icons and vids, I love meeting new people and hearing about their lives.

I'm kind of shy about me, though I'll freely discuss sex or kinks, and don't have much to offer but my love and fangirl devotion to both the show and the people who keep it alive through their awesome creativity.

Hi guys! I found this show about 2 years ago when this girl I knew on the Dawson's Creek board was using an icon of Brian after dumping water on himself and I asked who in the world that hot guy was! haha I downloaded the 1st episode got to the first scene with our boys and was hooked! I ordered the first season shortly after that and then got the rest of it by the end of that summer =D

I'm pretty shy, but I do enjoy talking with new people about anything, and can be a little pervy *lol* um, I make icons and love reading porny fics ;o)

I look forward to meeting new people

Thanks Bunny for setting this up!

2008-03-09 05:44 am UTC (link)
I'm netlagd.
I probably hold the record for having the first disc of Season One checked out of NetFlix for the longest time.

I had the season one disc for like 3 months until one night when I decided to put it in the DVD player, and life as I knew it changed.

I immediately went on line to order the rest of season one and all of season two from netflix. Then proceeded to go down to blockbuster and rent the rest of season 1. Talk about marathons, I watched all of season one in less than two days - not a lot of sleep that weekend.

I managed to end watching season three about 3 days before season 4 was released on DVD, then conned a friend of mine into DVR'ing and burning to DVD season 5 for me.

But all too soon Season 5 was over and I was bereft without my QAF fix - and none was going to be coming any time soon.

I started doing some research and discovered an article that spoke about 'shippers WTF?!

So I did some more googling searching and lo and behold, I found out about fan fiction. And an archive of stories all about Brian and Justin and the rest of the QAF gang.

I discovered [info]vamphile's All Mistakes are Temporary, [info]plumsuede's Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, and a host of other stories.

Then one day I decided that I'd try my hand at writing. Someone told me that I should post my story on LJ so I started to post on LJ and that's how I found this fandom and a great group of friends.

I live in NC.
I am in the midst of selling my Wedding Cake business (yes, the storefront opens in April... I'm not exactly successful at my exit strategy yet...).

My [current] main job is as an IT consultant - I travel a lot for business.

I spend every other week in NJ, and have upcoming trips to San Jose (where I'm looking forward to meeting flist friends in person), Dallas and Daytona Beach.

I am owned by have two greyhounds - Angus and Crumpet.

I've had less time to write and less time to post. I split my time and posts between IJ and LJ, but time to time I'll post a question and a chapter. I do try to post at least once a month. I am trying to finish up my WIPs, and post at least one chapter a month.

My IJ flist can always use new friends.

Well,I been watching QAF since the pilot aired on Showtime.Never missed one episode in five years.After the show ended I was devastated.I hoped there were people like me out there who felt the same way.So one day I typed in QAF into my computer...and the rest is history,lol

I don't post much in my journal.Sadly I have no clue how to make icons or put two sentences together for a fiction,lol.
Mostly I am here to quee with friends about this wonderful show and teh love that is Brian/Justin.Plus everybody who knows me,knows that I am a big Brian whore,lol

I am german,but I live in California.

I love to meet new friends.

Damn. I’m really late. Actually, I just came home from two other parties, so it’ll be like I had three in one day!

Anyway, I discovered QaF a year ago when my best friend introduced it to me. I actually had heard about the show before, but the gay rights activist in me was immediately turned off by the fact that gay people were depicted by always having sex and taking drugs. (Think of me as Gay as Blazes-- just as politically correct.) She convinced me to take a peek when she mentioned that they included a disclaimer on the show about how it really wasn’t a true portrayal of gay people—blah, blah, blah.

I fell in love with Justin.

I have to admit I was ready to get up and leave after the ridiculous introduction, but the story of Justin intrigued me. You see, my best friend first introduced me to season 2, and I wanted to know why some sick fuck would hurt him. By episode 203, I was hooked and I wanted to know more about the characters, mainly Justin and Michael. It wasn’t until around the end of s2 that I started to grow to love Brian as well. His behavior was new to me, and it took a while for me to warm up to him.

At the end of 513, I called my friend bawling. She probably didn’t understand half the conversation. After calming me down, she “rec’d” me This is Not a Pick-Up Line. I was hesitant at first because I was just beginning to get out of the Harry Potter fandom and I didn’t think I was ready for another fandom. A few months ago, I found qaf_drabbles (yay!) and I drabble when I’m inspired.

Um, hello, I’m queerasfruit, and I’m from California. :)

There are two of us here. I'm Nicki and my friend's name is arrow. We started out with the same fandoms, but we have both different focuses now. Nevertheless we have always kept a soft spot for any of our fandoms.

The icon shows where my love lies and it seems as if this love is meant to stay.
Qaf has opened a whole new phase of comprehension for me and ever since we have been introduced to it (we got to know about it via lennongirl when season 2 was airing, but as my priorities lay elsewhere I heard about the BJ love long before I saw it. We got our first DVD on a holiday trip in LA, it was season 3, so that was the first we were watching. Boy, was I confused with that kind of introduction. We ordered the first two pretty fast and were watching like addicts. And that was that too me. I followed season 4 and 5 the way most of us non-Americans did and was quite devastated by the end - Not only because of the whole BJ thing, but because of the fact that no story line really made sense to me any more. Justin's wishes seemed to be out of character, the same way as the break-up of all friendships. I missed the easy-going way, the banters, the fun. Everything in S5 seemed to be artificially constructed.
I followed the rants from afar in lurkerland and only really started to make comments when many people seemed to have moved on.

Qaf has been liberating for me on so many levels and I always thought that maybe lots of people here feel the same way. That is what it is all about for me, well and maybe for this deep all- consuming love I have for Justin.

I don't come here every day, as I am still over there at LJ, but I always check.

This has been a wonderful idea happier bunny!

Thanks, Nicki

hi!(to myself cos` everyone else left hours ago).My timezone is fucked,you are most probably asleep/just getting up/going to bed when I am around,so usually I am late/too early for everything and feel left out somehow*is insecure*
I found QAF in the summer of 2005. when I was secretly switching trough the channels instead of studying for my exams.I lived in Hungary that time and I have found some amazing hungarian friends to squee with.then I moved to the UK(yeah,it doesnt make sense,well my whole life doesnt) and I was lonely and for the first time of my life I had internet.and I`ve found fanfic (Xie,Vamp)and I have found this fandom too.But since I am in the dictionary when you look for shy I didnt have the guts to even create a journal til Dec 2007.(only took me 2 years to gather the courage!).
[info]happier_bunny made me all welcome and stuff and now I even have a small but to me very precious flist and I`ve made some friends close to my heart from all over the world.I am the happiest in my entire life since I am here,so I have been told from the people around me and I really am.
I love to comment and I love to read fanfic and squee.I write strange/boring posts and I dont expect you to comment but I am delirious with joy every time you do!
when I first fell in love with QAF I was like OMG Brian,since I moved to the UK Justin owns me (I suspect its something to do with fish and chipsLOL ),he is my hero.
I am hungarian so English isnt my first language,I dont do grammar and I dont do spelling,I have tried.I just basically put english words after one and other and expect you to understand me :) and I know it must be hard,but be patient some people think my English is improving since I am here:).(I know at least 3 different word for penis and I know rimming and blowjob and all the words I could never use in rl but hey!)
uhm,I guess that is it.
oh and an example for boring and strange:
If I could only take one fanfic and one season to the moon with me(where I would die immediately according to the test on Ny journal hehe) those would be:
season 5
Keeping it together by Vamphile.

Hi everyone.
150 something comments later you probably won't even notice me.
I'll be going through adding friends later, but I'd love to be friended.
Mind you, I almost never post, so I won't be taking up a lot of your time.
I am however working on a B/J fic, and when I finally get it done, well it would be nice of someone saw me post it and squeed just a little.
And you never know, one day I might say something interesting, and you wouldn't want to be the one who missed it, would you?

I'm an Aussie, I'm totally addicted to QAF fics, have been since I discovered the show about a year or so ago. Of course I started out with Xie's and Vamphile's fics, so it's no wonder it's taken me so long to start writing, they are a hard act to follow.

I'm libra2. Living in southeast US. Have also lived in Atlanta and Seattle. Discovered QAF this past summer and was instantly addicted. Didn't want to read fanfic... until I read it! Then I was hopelessly hooked.

Not married, no kids, currently back in school. I have a fine arts/design and psychology background. I'm addicted to making icons and learning the programs... so, my icons are for public consumption, just please credit my name when uploading in the userpic comment line. And I'd LOVE if you commented somewhere in my journal if you liked them-- that would just make me really happy!!

They can be found in my userpics of my user info. I'm constantly updating, perfecting, etc... so it's a definite work in progress. I've made a few vids, but only posted one so far. But will do the others soon. I just wrote and posted my first fiction last week. Please read it! It's RPS, but am doing an alternate version for those who don't like to read RPS.

I, like many others here am really excited about Obama and post some random squeeing about him and the election in my journal. I need more friends, so by all means, friend me and I will do the same! I am on LJ under the same name, but this is my primary home.

Nice to meet the new folks, now I'll go back and read everyone else's comments :)

This was a really good idea!

My name is Xana and I'm from Portugal. I started watching QaF in December 2005, sadly after the show had already ended. A Portuguese channel was broadcasting QaF UK (which I considered interesting at the time) and Google led me to the US version of the show. I watched Season 1 completely unspoiled (if you don't count watchng QaF UK first), and 122 pretty much killed me. I couldn't get my hands on Season 2 fast enough, and I needed to know that Justin was going to be alright... After that, I read the summary of every episode and used LJ to find the QaF fandom.

I'm very shy, so I kept quiet in my corner for a very long time, only leaving feedback on fic and icons. I started getting more involved in the fandom after the QaF Scavenger Hunt (one of my best experiences in the fandom) and the move to IJ. Anyway, I've made a few B/J vids, and at the moment I'm completely addicted to photoshop, although my last year of college occupies most of my time. I'm studying translation, by the way.

I watch many, many tv shows, and I've been involved in a couple of other fandoms (mainly reading fanfiction and meta), but I doubt anything will replace QaF in my heart. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me believe it's possible to overcome all the bad things life throws in our ways, and come out better and stronger because of it. It makes me believe that love doesn't have to be sacrifice. It makes me have faith that someday people will be more tolerant and less judgmental.

So yes, friend away, and help me get over my desperate need to buy my head in the sand and let life pass me by.

*Waves to everyone* I forgot to post yesterday. I've been around for a couple of years now. I never knew fandom existed (except for Star Trek convention-goers) until I found QAF. I was astounded, to put it mildly. lol

I saw a bit of an episode from S4 shortly before or just after S5 began, was thrilled to realize I could indulge my kink for pretty men kissing on actual tv zomg a;slkjf!!!!!, rented the videos immediately to get caught up, watched the final season on tv, was mega-traumatized by the ending and went looking on the web to see if there was anyone else as wiped out by it as I was, found the Showtime board, heard of fanfic, thought it was a ridiculous concept and waaaaaaay beneath me, kept hearing about it, with particular emphasis on several stories/authors (Myrna, Ethan, and Danny come to mind), finally read If You Needed Me at work over a couple of slow days, realized I could get fired for doing so, headed for the library's computers while figuring out the fastest way to get a computer delivered and internet connected at my house, found LJ, saved 4 pages of links in a Word doc, read and lurked for awhile, finally commented a few times, got friendly reponses back, gathered more courage and friended some people, and here I've stayed! Whew. That was a v.v. long sentence yo. ;DDDDD I alternate between my journal here and my LJ. I have gotten so much pleasure from all the wonderful fics and graphics and fantastic people, I only wish I had some of those creative gifts so I could share something back.

Feel free to friend and I'll be happy to friend you back.

Late as always. Hi, I'm Alex from Germany.

I've been involved in fandom long before I discovered QAF on German tv about two years ago, mostly in the Harry Potter fandom. I'm a slash addict, so having an actual canon pairing was like birthday and Christmas combined for me.
I've lurked for about a year, and started to get spammy more active at the beginning of last year.

I'm still involved in a couple of fandoms, but QAF is my most beloved and main fandom. I post mostly pic spams and graphics, it's the only talent I have, I suck at writing and I can't vid.

Friend away, I've heard that some people were too shy to ask. To be honest,I can't promise I'll friend anyone back immediately, because I have limited time and my graphics journal and icons demand a lot of that. I already feel bad for the friends I have, because I don't comment often enough, but if I get to to know you better, I'll probably friend you back eventually.

The first episode of QAF I saw was 510. I was devastated and completely captivated. I searched the internet for info, downloaded episodes people were kind enough to point me toward and fell completely and totally, head over heels in love with Brian and Justin. And in love with this fandom. I now own all five seasons on DVD. I never travel without my computer, a couple of disks, and a flash drive of my favorite fan stories. I am a QAF junkie and I'm not looking to be cured.

major lurker~

I started watching in 2006 I think. The summer of the finale. Then I started borrowing DVDs from my library and Blockbuster before I bought the first three seasons. I pretend the fifth season doesn't exist because too much doesn't make sense and is just too annoying for me.

I haven't read or written QaF fics in a while thanks to college filling up my life with papers, but the good part about that is when I can sit down to read again I'll have tons waiting for me! So I ask - what are good fics that you'd recommend? I love meeting new friends and fans. :D

Hi! I love QAF and if you're here you do too and that means we should be friends :D

I live in Washington DC and I work in a bookstore. I'm 23 and I'm bi. I found QAF in February of 2007 (and omg that means I've been obsessed for a whole year! My one-year anniversary passed and I didn't even realize it!) I stumbled into fandom somehow and lurked for a bit on LJ right around the time everyone was fleeing to IJ and I just sort of followed the crowd and am very happy I did. I'm permanently insane and I even paid to be able to upload FIVE THOUSAND icons. As soon as I upload the ones I have sitting in a folder on my computer right now I'll be at 1000. So if you friend me you'll get lots of icon!love posts. And random posts about random QAF anything that happens to pop into my head. And the occasional fic.

I like death!fics. I adore tumor!fic. I LOVE ICONS!!! *smackles all my favorite iconmakers! you know who you are!* I love Randy Harrison as an actor. I saw him at the Berkshire Theatre Festival twice. He's amazing.

Last thing - I love how QAF has brought so many different people from so many different places together. It still awes me when I stop and think about how, in any given week, I will talk to friends who are all over the US and in Italy, Sweden, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Canada, Mexico and many other countries I'm surely forgetting.

Hmm. Pseudo-lurker here, and late to the party as well. I'm 20, and I live in southern GA.

I discovered QaF on Livejournal. Kept seeing icons like Emmett dancing in the opening credits and Brian and Justin in ep 107. After a year of seeing those icons at least once a week, I gave in and decided to find out where they were from. So I started watching about a year and a half ago, and I've been thoroughly (and obsessively) in love with the show ever since.

This is the most loving, accepting fandom I've ever been a part of, or even seen ^_^ It is truly amazing how this show has brought people together.

I collect icons like the packrat I am, and I'm still making my way through all the lovely fics out there. I could not possibly pick a favorite.

Oh, and I'm aramina48 over on LJ. I spend more time there, but I do check my flist here, and may start using my IJ more often.

My name is Anita and I'm from Hungary.

I discovered QAF in February of 2006 when season 3 was airing here. The very first episode I watched was 312. I immediately got hooked and went online to find out more about the show. That was how I came across [info]paddies's site and watched all the little clips in one sitting. As you can see, I don't mind spoilers. ;) Then I marathoned S1-S3 while I watched S4-S5 as it aired here in my country.

For a long time ('til May of 2006) I didn't read fics. I thought, "what more could they give me than the episodes?". I know, silly me. Since then I've worked my way through all the wonderful fics this fandom has and try as I might, I can't pick a favorite, because I have so many.

I was a lurker for a while, but then I started commenting more and more, and eventually I started writing my own fics.

I love this fandom and it probably sounds cheesy, but I think it made me a better person. I'm more tolerant and I learned that love has no gender.

i'm a former lurker, early 40s, married, 1 kid, from Malaysia.

I discovered QAF in 2004 when I was bored out of my mind at work, travelling a lot because of it and SATC finished its last season. I read reviews and was curious. I'm OCD about watching in sequence so I watched QAF UK first. It was interesting but not compelling. I almost did not watch QAF US since I could not find S1 on DVD. Curiosity got the better of me and I got S2 and watched 201 - saw glimpses of the prom and the bashing, stopped the DVD and harassed the DVD shop till they got me S1. The rest is history.

I was originally attracted by bad boy Brian but 103 'Let's Hear It For The Boy'-Justin got his hooks in my heart and never let go! But it's the TEH LOVE that has kept me all these years. Without that, (don't hurt me, Xie) Justin would have been water under the bridge in a year much like Legolas before that.

I was a lurker for a long time because I felt I had nothing to contribute in terms of fic or graphics or vids but finally came to realize that every comment keeps the fandom going. I became a lot more active when [info]qaf_coffeeclub came along. Then I made it a point to participate in fandom events that did not require me to write fic, make icons or create new vids like the scavenger hunt and the New Year chat.

I love this fandom cuz it feels like home after a hard day at work or a hard week as it usually is for me these days.

I'm +8:00 GMT which makes me closer to the Aussies and Kiwis but leaves me 12-14 hours away from US - so I tend to be late in joining in discussions.

I don't post very often but I try very hard to keep up with my f-list.

Hi I'm Elli from germany. I saw the first season on german tv in 2006 and was addicted since I saw the 101. I missed an episode and searched the internet, found it and all the other episodes too. I discovered newsboards and fanfiction. I'm mostly a lurker.

Eee, I come into this late! Bad me, but I was out of town.

SO. Years ago my cousin reccomended this show to me, Queer as Folk. It was on Showtime, however, and the characters were gay, but the story was fabulous (little did she know that boys fucking make me a puddle of goo). Anyway. Many years pass and I stumble on Queer as Folk fanfiction while looking for some good porn fics to read (may as well be honest). I LOVED the characters (lucky for me it was good porn, huh?) and had to know more about them. So I bought season one.

And at the end of season one I cried and screamed and promptly bought the other four seasons. Thus began my unholy love affair with Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor. Though, I wouldn't say no to Ted or Emmett or hell, any of them. I started writing again after years of not doing any real writing, and it was all QaF's fault. My really dirty little secret? I role play Justin in a QaF-esque role play. OH the stupid fun that is.

SO. :D Anyone else want to gush with me?
