Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

mrsfrankenstien gave me The Mighty Boosh, Black Books and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 

1. Old Gregg. I was on Facebook and either Ben Ornstein had watched it and it showed up or he directly recommended it. Either one. So I watched the viral video on the internet, went, "Huh...?" and then watched it again because I liked the song. Then, as I do so often, I showed a bunch of people I knew. If I remember correctly, it was Marion, Hilary and Leah. We watched most of the episode, actually, instead of just the viral video. Then I forgot about it for a while while Marion got into it. She showed me some bits and it seemed funny but I still didn't watch it. Although I did see the whole first live show. I watched mostly the songs from it and the first two episodes with my brother until Guelph when I showed Paisley the live show and then she downloaded it and I actually watched the show. Mostly. I'm more into it now, anyway.

2. Um...I'm not sure whether I'm really in this fandom. I mean, I love it when I see it but I'm not super-motivated to watch it. I'm amused, not obsessed? Well, basically, I have a hard time figuring out what being 'into' something means when it's not my frightening over-obsession with Doctor Who. I'd watch the movie, I guess I'm saying.

3. I always have a soft spot for The Legend of Old Gregg because it started me on it. What else...? I haven't seen a bunch of them, so it's hard. I like Nanageddon because I love Saboo and Tony Harrison. And whatever that creepy one with the coconuts is called.

4. Um..... Does OWR count? I don't think it does. I also think the fandom community might mostly hate me, so whatever.

5. Yeah, here. Because then it might actually happen on our mainstreamish television. that would be nice.


1. I...actually can't remember. In all likelyhoods, I found it by linking through Youtube on Bill Bailey's standup. And it was all up there so that was good. I watched a season in an evening.

2. Well....it's not really that big. And it's over. And I still haven't watched it all, I don't think. I'll keep watching it as long as there's someone willing to watch it with me, I guess.

3. I like...the one where they babysit the house of that guy with the really expensive wine....and where they write a children's book, that other one. I have no idea what they're called.

4. Not at all.

5. Yeah. I'm always super-pleased when I find someone who's seen it because it's so rare. I wish it wasn't so rare.


1. I used to hate science fiction because I thought all of it was dark and dystopian. Then my dad got the omnibus for Christmas and read me a funny bit from the first book so I read the whole thing. I am very obsessed with it. The reason I'm so into Doctor Who is because it's my Douglas Adams replacement because the bastard went and died on me. Bother.

2. NEVER MOVE ON.

3. I really quite like the first one. Also, he seems to have been in a really good mood when he wrote the fourth one so that one made me quite happy. Plus, the radio series is GOLD.

4. It's the fanfiction that I used to write instead of OWR when I wanted something easy and fun. I have a sort of series I did at one point that I still haven't typed and posted most of. Someday I will.

5. YES. READ IT NOW.
