Sorry it's been a while again. Law school is just wearing me out.

Anyways, brought a meme to get me chatting & fandoming a bit. :)

Pick a number and I'll answer the question. Crossed-out questions have been asked by someone already.

1 - Your current OTP
2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
4 - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what
6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
7 - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it
8 - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series
9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why
10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr/LJ/DW
11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom
12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for
13 - Your favorite fanart or fanartist
14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor
15 - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of
16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Legend of Korra kinda was the equivalent of seeing your childhood best friend after you grew apart. A lot of nostalgia and very little new stuff.

What's going on with Elementary and angry feminists? This sounds fascinating.

I enjoyed it, but much of the magic was gone from the original.

Eh, just the usual "YOU ALL HAVE DECIDED YOU HATE IT JUST BECAUSE WATSON IS A WOMAN!!! ITS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PERFECT JUST B/C SHES A WOMAN!!!! LUCY IS PERFECTION ITSELF!!! BBCS SHERLOCK SUCKS WAY MORE THAN THIS SHOW WE'VE NEVER SEEN B/C WATSON IN ELEMENTARY IS A WOMAN."

I'm just thinking folks should chill out; the show hasn't even premiered yet.

Yeah, I was sad to see it kinda fizzle. It was good, not great.

In many ways, that makes me worried. I'm all for creative casting, but once it becomes a selling point, I worry about quality. A good actor is a good actor, but I don't want to watch because a woman is playing Watson, I want to watch to see a good presentation and Lucy Liu be an ingredient.

Am I making sense>
