zvi: Parker and Hardison (Leverage) in FBI jackets: TEAM AWESOME (Leverage)
Hopefully, this will start the creative juices flowing for my Yuletide. Or my 3 Ships story. One of those.
Give me a pairing and I will tell you:
who is the big spoon/little spoon
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
who uses all the hot water in the morning
what they order from take out
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
who does most of the cleaning
what has a season pass in their DVR
who controls the netflix queue
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
who steals the blankets
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
who remembers anniversaries


Clearly, this is not limited to pairings for me. Ask me about any fandom youve ever heard me mention, but I reserve the right to say I didn't actually watch the show or whatever.

P.S. Next weeks Leverage will have Tara back and be Ladies Night. I am excite!

Disappointingly, there were no questions from the cheap seats, so I just have two more meme questions.

20) Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?

The guys that get drawn in anime are often my type (thin, pretty, long dark hair), but from what I know of seme/uke stuff (from far far far away) is a kind of role assignment I'm not really into.

Also, anime and manga generally have that hideously huge canon and cast of millions thing, which I don't enjoy if I don't get in on the ground floor.

21) What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth?

I dunno, there's a lot to like here. Probably Denise.

Um, I mean that in the literal sense that, Denise and I lived really close together, but are fannish circles didn't really overlap, so I wouldn't have met Denise and Sara in the flesh, probably, had it not been for her talking up Dreamwidth.

There's no one technological innovation/improvement that DW has made that I like as much as that.

19var What are you most interested in reading?

Shockingly, I'm most interested in speculative fiction and queer romances.

What you may not have known is that I like vulgar science (vulgar in the sense of for the general public, not as in gross), language history and description, a little bit of law, and mysteries also.

But mostly queer speculative fiction, and speculative fiction, and queer romances.

If anyone has questions they want to ask me, please do so. I will do my best to answer, or to say something amusing about why I won't answer.

12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?/What do you consider the 10 most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?Read more... )

13) Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?

dykiosity: because I made the word up, to mean the state of being a dyke. I prefer dyke to lesbian because it's more aggressive. And shorter. I reject gay woman entirely, because I feel like it's only useful in subsuming my identity into that of gay men.

president way saves lives: I read an awesome story that was a West Wing fusion w/ Bandom characters. It felt good, the way the West Wing served as a sort of liberal fantasy of which I actually saw very few episodes, but I read this whole story.

14) Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?

The X Files )

14alt) What is your favourite subject to discuss on Dreamwidth?

It vacillates between technology, television, and fandom. I like discussing those things because they're fun, and people talk back and have opinions. Also, I like them as subjects.

15) What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination? / 15alt) What 5 things are you obsessed with currently?

I'm currently obsessed with my Evo and other Android phones. I'm obsessed because it's terrifically useful, because it lets me interact with the internet a lot more than I could when I was just floating from desktop to desktop, because there's a lot of things I can fiddle with to make it more useful/fun/convenient/pretty, because the Android community is active and interesting and thinking of new things all the time.

Other things that I'm interested in currently: Unitarian Universalism and religious concerns, sleeeeeeep, foooooooood, sex.

16 through 18, if you're still interested. )

I think better multimedia integration and the bookmarks retool are the most essential ones. But basically, I agree with helens78 and facetofcathy.

I feel like I should be able to think of some other really, really awesome thing, but other than, "What if I could put money where my mouth was for development of features I want? Like, how much would it cost to pay for a week of work on bookmarks, really?" and "Wouldn't it be great if Dreamwidth could make me a sandwich? And a chocolate shake?" everything I want is here or on the radar.

OKAY, wait! I have thought of one. Better twitter integration, so people stop posting their summaries of their twitter postings to the reading page. :(

Also, someone else asked for better sharing. I think that would be good. I don't want reblogging, but it would be nice to be able to easily point people at someone else's dreamwidth entry, either in a DW post or in twitter or tumblr.

10. Tell me about your default icon. and 10. Pick 10 random icons from your userpics and tell me about them.

cartoon black woman w/ double venus t-shirt, dreds, bunny slippers, and a TV Default icon
You know how, people in the mid-90s were very, very, very excited about the fact that, on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog, and that means the Internet will be a better place, kumbaya? It turns out that what they meant was, "On the Internet, everyone's an able-bodied white American straight cisdude until proven otherwise, which gives me license to be a sexist, racist douche all the time." So, I started making my default icons women of color. Finally, I found a cartoon iconmaker I liked and retired the old Jill Scott one, because I don't look like Jill Scott, but I also do not want my picture taken. Like, ever. I liked this icon maker because I was able to make a somewhat stocky icon (it could be fatter to be more accurate), and I could make it NOT SMILE, and adjust the size of the boobs (which you can't see anymore with the double-venus, but they're big. And they had multiple shades of brown for the skin! The only thing discomfiting is that all of the free backgrounds from that time were terrible, and this outdoor scene was probably the least terrible, but there's a cross in the background. I may have to cover that up in the GIMP one of these days.

I wish [community profile] ff_mm_bookrecs were more active. There's a lot of e-book published queer romance, and not a lot of recommendation. What little recommendation is out there tends to be romance community focused, which is a slightly different orientation than I'm looking for: I like books where there's a clear sense that our characters are focused on some important job, as well as getting together. Also, I like books with female characters, even if the protagonists aren't female.

And, dude, what I wouldn't give for f/f/m or f/f/f novels. If you've read anything like that, and, loved it or hated it, post about it to [community profile] ff_mm_bookrecs.
