Introduction Post

[doyle]

In honour of Worldwide Journal Commenting Day, and since I've been updating my friendslist, I thought I'd do a post for people who don't normally comment to say hi. Also for people who do normally comment. So, pretty much just for everybpdy, really.

Getting To Know You...

If you're wondering who I am - that's okay, I don't recognise a lot of the names on my flist either, hence this post - I go by Doyle, I'm 22, I'm an astrophysics student and I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I'm most active in the Buffyverse fandom, which I can never call Buffy/Angel without getting it mixed up with the pairing, and most of my posts are me blathering on about some aspect of that. The rest of the posts are usually me whinging about an assignment/thesis/presentation/nebula spectrum, though most of those are locked, when I remember. I obsessively-compulsively organize things, so if you're looking for communities, fic recs, whatever, I'll try my best to help you find it or point you to someone who can.

Current favourite pairings and characters are Dawn, Nina, Angel/Spike, Buffy, Riley, Kennedy, Gunn, and I've been thinking a lot about Eve. This changes a lot. I think every character has been my favourite at some point, and it all seems to run nicely on a subconscious rota system. Non-Buffyverse things I watch: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Father Ted, Black Books, Teachers, The Simpsons, Futurama, random bits of anime and Farscape and Battlestar Galactica when my housemates are watching it.

I'm more or less stealing this from what I can remember of wisteria_'s introduce-yourself posts. All the questions below are optional and for people who, like me, are more comfortable filling in forms or ticking ticky boxes. If you just want to say hi, that'd be good too.

Name: (not your real name, unless you really want to)
Age/location:
Fandom(s):
Favourite pairings/characters/bulletproof fic kinks/anything else you want to tell me:
Any burning questions? (Either to me or about fandom in general, since JennyO's post on newbies made me wonder how many people are wondering what the hell a BNF is or how to make the community symbol or whatever)
Anything else:

Going with the ticky-ticky:
Name: Gail
Age/location: way over 21 / Wales
Fandom(s): Whedonverse, plus - to a lesser degree - Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Gallactica, Farscape.
Favourite pairings/characters/bulletproof fic kinks/anything else you want to tell me: Buffy/Angel. I tend to go for cannon pairings, although non-cannon and slash fic entertains me.
Any burning questions? What do you plan to do, career-wise, when you finish Uni?
Anything else: What do you know about the Rev. Jonny Wallet? *g*

What do you plan to do, career-wise, when you finish Uni?

In the short term, I'm applying for my PhD. In the long-term... eep. They'll get me out of a university department when they drag me out kicking and screaming. I guess if I wasn't working in the uni I'd be doing industrial research or something unrelated to my degree, neither of which appeals very much - I'd actually like to go into science journalism, though.

What do you know about the Rev. Jonny Wallet? *g*

I know that the gentleman in my icon is hot, talented and has many aliases *g*

Good luck with the post-Uni plans :)
