Name: Amado
Age group: I'm in my 30s, any age group is fine!
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Anyone is welcome, most of my posts are public :)

Main Fandoms: Star Trek (including books and fanzines), Sherlock Holmes (ACD, Grenada, pastiche books), Gargoyles (reading the new comics as they come out!!)

Other Fandoms: I was a huge Star Wars nut for a while and I still dip my toes in to read my friends' fics or review zines!

Fannish Interests: Slash, writing and reading fanfic, zines, hurt/comfort, exchanges, meta, fandom itself! For Fannish Fifty, I'm working through my zine collection (it spans 1977-2006) and writing comprehensive reviews. I'm also very Freedom of Fiction, pro-ship, and involved in that sphere of meta.

OTPs and Ships: My favorites are probably Holmes/Watson and Riker/Troi. I'm a major multishipper. I like to write and read just about everything for the fandoms I'm in.

Favourite Movies: Power of the Dog, Brokeback Mountain, Farewell My Concubine, Dead Ringers, Nope 2022, Ravenous. I've always been a huge horror nut.

TV Shows: The Terror, Hannibal, Star Trek TOS, TNG, and DS9 (I'm not as into the new series but I'm looking forward to Picard S3!). I can rewatch any of these, any time!

Books: Currently reading and reviewing the Dr. Watson thriller series by Robert Ryan! My all-time favorites are Confessions of a Mask (Yukio Mishima); Giovanni's Room (James Baldwin); Absent in the Spring (Agatha Christie); Stoner (John Williams); and for sci-fi books I adore anything that combines ~gender~ with hurt/comfort, like Octavia E. Butler's Xenogenesis triloy, Carolyn Ives Gilman's Halfway Human, Mary Doria Russell's Sparrow/Children of God.

Music: I like the blues, David Bowie, 70s country, 90s rap, and heavy metal :)

Games: Ace Attorney is my main squeeze and I'm slowly working my way through the latest English one. I used to be extremely active in the old Court-Records forum, but it's been easily 10+ years since I peeked in on the fandom!

Comics/Anime/Misc: Watchmen, Batman, love-hate relationship with Tom King. For manga I love hurt/comfort-y "problematic" BL like Kaze to Ki no Uta and Twittering Birds Never Fly. You guys remember Nabari no Ou?! Oh my god I was in love with that, and I recently tried to track down and reread the English-release volumes. But I also love Zipang, I adored Naruto and Death Note the whole time they were coming out, and I've been known to binge-read newer manga like Spy x Family and Hanako-Kun. I love Killing Stalking but I can't hardly remember it now; I'm slowly rereading it as the deluxe editions come out. And I'm a big fan of the MDZS manhua (and ofc the original book, not so much the show).

you sound interesting, OK if I add you?

Definitely!

We already have each other friended, I just wanted to express my delight that somebody else likes Farewell My Concubine. It did wreck me when I first saw it (and then obsessively rewatched it, haha).

Ha! Exactly, I can't even count how many times I've rewatched it. And read the book! Not in Mandarin yet though.

We have some interests in common and I am actually a real attorney playing through the Ace Attorney games (currently on Trials and Tribulations) and I find them absolutely hilarious. Also Spy x Family is amazing and I recommend it to all my friends and family who are interested in anime. Mind if I add?

Of course!! I'll add you too!

Added! Also into Star Trek and Holmes, and starting to get into Ace Attorney and Star Wars as well

Sweet! Added you back :)

Hi. I am still a bit of a newbie to the community. I am 38 of age. French Canadian but I think that I can manage English. We share Brokeback Mountain, Star Trek. I need to re-binge Sherlock (the BBC version is my favorite). I do not judge anything for your music. I mostly love movie soundtracks but, like everyone else, I have a handful of favorite performers/bands. I am not big into anime, sadly, but I enjoy the movies. Speaking of which, I still need to dig my nose in to see if I would like Robert Pattinson's Batman though I have been restraint myself since he got cast for the role. Have you seen it? Anyway, if you venture onto my page, you are going to find not much other than my current obsesssion. But I swear to you. I am not a bot. I love a lot of different things. I would love to be friends if that is alright. Let me know.

Definitely!

I saw the Robert Pattinson Batman movie in theaters, iirc. It was WAY too long but it was worth it to see on the big screen.

I appreciate that you got back in touch to let me know. Nice to meet you. I hope that we become good friends. I am glad that you enjoyed the movie. I still need to see it. I have heard from a good friend of mine that it is very long. The question that I wonder is that is it as long as the last Nolan's Batman from that trilogy, or..? I guess that I will have to find out myself. I hope that the movie is still on demand on my cable tv streaming. I am going to try to have a look soon.
