I'd heard about QAF off and on or years but never really paid much attention - I'm more of a sci fi and police procedural fan than a soap opera/drama sort of person. But then I came across some clips of 'the Brian/Justin Story' on youtube in January while I was looking for something else, and I got sucked in. Boyyyyy howdy did I ever.
So I mainlined all five seasons in about three weeks, had bizarre and delicious dreams as a result, and now I'm riding the high of a new obsession. I read through chunks of fanfic (xie is one name that sticks out without going and hunting through my bookmarks, also triciaQAF, because I'm a hound), and have actually been inspired to try my own hand at ficcing for the first time in almost two decades. Good grief, what has this show done to me?
I don't know much about fandom etiquette and protocol - I haven't been involved in anything fannish at all since Usenet and mailman lists were the gold standard - so hopefully I haven't stepped on any toes. Do I need to do an about!me? Hetero-married bi-dyke in my 30s, working in academia. Is that enough?
My (new) fandom journal is actually over at LJ - same username - but I noticed that most of the QAF conversations seemed to be happening over here.
So. Hi!
