ladyofleithianTell me you want to play and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. Then update your journal and answer the following questions:
1. What got you into this fandom in the first place?
2. Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
3. Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
4. Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
5. Do you think more people should get into this fandom?
I was given Twilight (stop laughing. XD), Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings.
Twilight:
1. Bought the books just to see what all the fuss was about. It took a while, but they grew on me -- they're not perfect books, but they're not the Antichrist like some corners of the Internet make them out to be. (Trust me, guys, there are worse)
2. Stay.
3. Probably New Moon and Eclipse.
4. I wrote some fan fic for it, once. One, I remember, was a What If story -- what if Bree Tanner survived Eclipse and became a part of the gang? Honestly, if there's one thing I can thank Carlisle for, it's definitely trying to give Bree Tanner a second chance, especially considering she was basically tricked into following Victoria. Granted, the Volturi didn't buy it, but the intent was worthy of admiration.
5. It would be nice, but honestly? They don't have to if they don't want to.
Star Wars:
1. I already covered the fact that I got into them via the PT novelizations (after failed attempts to get into the Original Trilogy as a kid), but I was already fascinated with Anakin's story from what I heard about it. Getting the PT novelizations (and watching the OT again) just solidified it.
2. I'm staying, no matter what.
3. In terms of the Original Trilogy, Empire Strikes Back and (yes, for all I may have ragged on it) Return of the Jedi. A New Hope is just too...it's not a bad movie, but it feels more like a set-up than an installment in its own right. In terms of the Prequel Trilogy...well, pretty much all of them. XD
4. Very, very much.
5. Yes.
Lord of the Rings:
1. First read the books in middle school before watching the movies. Needless to say, both blew me away, the movies moreso.
2. I'll stay.
3. In terms of the books, The Two Towers. In terms of the movies...in terms of best, Return of the King. In terms of favorite, Fellowship of the Ring, if only for Arwen and Boromir.
4. Occasionally. Back then, I was a rabid Lord of the Rings fangirl -- I think I was even trying to learn Elvish. Can't say I succeeded. XD
5. Oh, hell yes!
