Here goes nuthin'

[capn_mactastic]

Name: Mac
Age: thirties
Country: UK
Subscription/Access Policy: I'm looking to populate my DW circle, so pretty open really - though I would prefer over eighteens.

Main Fandoms: MCU (esp. Avengers) and Heroes. Tea, if that counts.
Other Fandoms: I'm not active in the fandoms, but I am interested in: Leverage; Doctor Who (both old skool and NuWho - Five, Eight and Nine are my faves); Elementary; Beauty and the Beast (both old and new series); Dresden Files; Firefly; Death in Paradise; Sherlock; Misfits of Science; Primeval; Wallander; Robin of Sherwood; Castle; Freakylinks; X-Files; Black Books; IT Crowd; Motive; Diana Wynne Jones; Terry Pratchett; Kim Newman; Hollow Crown ...and I know I've forgotten a load.
Fannish Interests: 99% fic, but sometimes I'll whip up some icons, draw something, or drop a screencap fest. You may be able to tempt me into RP but some bad previous experiences mean I'll literally run and hide if there's drama. No, really.
OTPs and Ships: Peter/Sylar/(Gabriel) and (Bruce)/Hulk/Loki.

Favourite Movies: Ones I can watch over and over include Tremors; Up; Avengers; Neverending Story; Star Trek (reboot); Star Trek 4; Lilo & Stitch; Hook; and Alive and Kicking. There are more but my mind's going blank.
TV Shows: Heroes; Leverage; Elementary; Motive; Death in Paradise; Misfits of Science; Black Books; Castle.
Books: pretty much all of Diana Wynne Jones' books; the Rivers of London books; The Dark is Rising Sequence; The Last Unicorn; River God; Accidental Creatures; the Chet and Bernie Mysteries; and Tanya Huff's Blood books, among others. On average I read somewhere around fifty books a year so this list grows.
Music: I have really eclectic taste so a list is probably a bit pointless.
Games: Dragonvale; The Room; Flutter: Butterfly Sanctuary.
Misc: Fibre crafts; folklore; original fic; cute gifs.

Other Info:

I'm an LJ refugee looking to set up over here, where they don't seem to hate migraine sufferers quite so much. I have a dog and two cats, all of whom are assholes in entertaining ways; I'm also gay and mentally ill, so if you have issues with either - and that includes thinking you can cure serious mental problems with vitamins and happy thoughts - then please ignore this post. It'll be easier for everyone in the long run. And I'm a bit of a spoiler phobe, though in return I tend to spoiler-cut like a boss. Also I do write some mpreg; reading/friending/access doesn't come with any expectation that you'll read my fic, I just thought it was worth mentioning in case the thought of me talking about shit-that-is-going-wrong-with-this-goddamn-plot puts some people off. Oh, and I like to cook too.

...Motive as in the new Canadian TV show Motive? If so, may I add you? I am in love with the show!

If not, we share a whole bunch of fandoms like Doctor Who, Elementary, Heroes (and tea!). If you can put up with my babbling on about various anime fandoms, I'm sure we'll get along great!

[capn_mactastic]

Yes, that one! I love it too, and I've just realised that I forgot to put it under 'faves', lol. It reminds me a little of Columbo, because you know who did it but want to watch anyway.

Fantastic! (and yay, tea fandom!)

[moon_blitz]

Yay~ I already have a ship for Motive (and possibly more than one, I'm not sure yet), so it's great to find another fan!

[capn_mactastic]

I haven't developed a ship yet, but I'm enjoying the way all the characters interact. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've come across anyone else.

[moon_blitz]

Oh, I love the character interaction too. It's just so natural with everyone, which I put down to a combination of great writing and acting. I found myself shipping Angela/Betty (the M.E.), although I'm still working out the reasons why. I haven't met any other fans either, but it's a new Canadian show, so I'm not overly surprised.

I found myself shipping Angela/Betty (the M.E.), although I'm still working out the reasons why.

Because they're both awesome? Good point about it being Canadian, I forget stuff like that.

[moon_blitz]

Yes, they are both awesome. I plan to write fic soon, at least. Once it starts airing in the US this summer, the fandom might expand a bit.

[capn_mactastic]

LOL, I think you've got me shipping it too now XD

[diet_poison]

Hi! I'm over 18 and I love Avengers! I'm not...super active, but if you want to add me I'm sure we could chat sometime.

Also, I don't ship Bruce/Loki but if you are a big Bruce fan in general I like that because he is my favorite and somewhat unappreciated imo. xD;;

I also agree with you on being a spoiler-phobe ;-; and I migrated from LJ a year or so ago; at the time it was 80% just to follow Fandom Secrets, but now I'm really glad I made the move because LJ is being a tool. >___>

[capn_mactastic]

I love Bruce! I kinda put him through hell in my fics, but this is how I show my affection for characters, lol. It's weird because I never really clicked until Ruffalo took over, but IMO he just seems to own the part in a way in a way nobody has since Ferrigno.

Spoilers make me sad ;_; Being in the UK doesn't help, I'm behind on so much stuff and I don't get the same press stories either. And yeah, LJ is being a complete douche.

[diet_poison]

I think Ruffalo really defined the role for me. He pulled it off beautifully imo.

[chibichan]

Hello! I'm over 18 and we have some fandoms in common, like Doctor Who (both old and new!), Sherlock, IT Crowd (I love that show!) and The Last Unicorn! Also I'm sort of in the Avengers fandom - I've seen most of the Marvel movies, I just don't talk about them that much. :P

But anyway! Friends? :)

[capn_mactastic]

Sure! Although I should probably warn you I'm being a bit whiny at the moment because I just had surgery last week; I'm putting gross stuff under a cut though, so there's that.

[chibichan]

It's totally fine! I'm going through a weird phase myself (having to make big choices about my degree and my future) and hopefully that won't bore you!

[capn_mactastic]

I'm sure it won't :D
