Fannish things and friending memes

First, for anyone seeking more active LJ folks to know, there's another friending meme making the rounds:

*  *  *

There are former LJers who would like to return, but their friends lists have been deserted.
Let's all welcome them back with open arms and show them that LJ is very much alive!

*  *  *
Second, here's a fannish meme via [livejournal.com profile] ladymercury_10. Comment with a letter or a couple of letters and I'll answer:

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
B - A pairing—platonic, romantic or sexual—that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr.
K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.
M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom.
Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon.
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
V - Which character do you relate to most?
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

Not in a few years, though I have several older cracky contributions. Several years ago I wrote a Sherlock parody set to the tune of The Devil Went Down to Georgia and a Doctor Who fic where the Doctor regenerates to look exactly like Jack Harkness. I also used to make humorous macros back in the pre-tumblr days.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

A very incomplete list of tropes I realiably love: sidekick characters turning out to be the real heroes of the story, fairy tale themes, emotional hurt/comfort, Only One Bed, Huddling For Warmth, long-term mutual pining, friends to lovers, characters burdened by their pasts hashing out their issues together, OT3s.

Oh! Were you part of that one DW macro comm? I can't remember what it was called but I remember thinking it was funny.

That is a list of very good tropes! :)

Yeah, [livejournal.com profile] ihasatardis was the DW macro comm. They had some pretty hilarious stuff back in the day.

Yeah! That's the one I was thinking of. :)
