Sunday Poll. Just like pot roast, only with more protein.

[mhalachai]

I AM NOT DED. It only looks that way on TV.

so, *iz curious*
[Poll #1495534]

Anyone have anything else to add to the fandom poll? Anything else on any subject?

I'll just add here that yes, I am working on my WIPs, including Inevitable. Operative phrase is "slowly" as real life takes most of my creative energy and puts it into the "work" process these days/months.

How's everyone doing?

I chose to interpret "follow fandom" as "these are the fandoms I am acquainted with and when in the mood for fics stalk obsessively" as opposed to "am following right now" if that in any way skews your poll. *shrugs*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was sorta how I meant it. It's an open-ended q, tho - people have different metrics for "following" a fandom.

For me, it's if I'm obsessive enough to want to fic it :P

The new Sherlock Holmes movie just sorta makes me twitch. So not Holmes as I'd pictured him.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to it for exactly that reason. My quintessential "Holmes" is the one voiced by John Gielgud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gielgud) for the Doyle works, and then of course Laurie King's Holmes. I was basically reading Holmes in first grade, and love everyone's take on him.

Plus the movie poster is such eye candy (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4059794944/tt0988045). I may be shallow, but at least i'm consistent when it comes to RDJ :)

[elle-blessing.livejournal.com]

RDJ LOVE!!!

I'm doing well. Did NaNoWriMo this year, so kind of brain dead. Not to mention the holidays being draining 'n things.

How are you????

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

My "new" job, started back in June, requires a lot of creativity and energy. I love it, just haven't found a way to work writing back into my life. I'm trying, and I have a spot o'vacation coming up at the end of the month, so I'm planning to write a bit then :)

How far did you get in Nanowrimo?

[sherron0.livejournal.com]

I'm sorta back on LJ. I've had one of those "you had to be there" summer and falls. But I'm starting to have a wee bit of time to post!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

excellent! welcome back to lj. I have to admit, I've been rather sporadic in my time here too cuz of RL... but now, some time to breathe at least.

Just in time for the holidays....

[heeroluva.livejournal.com]

I'll kinda sorta see Sherlock Holmes on Christmas since I'll be working at the theater that day. :)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Ah, the wonders of Holiday working. I recall fondly the days when only the theatres were open on Dec 25... now there are coffee shops galore open. At least around here.

I might have to escape my family on the 25 to see the movie. Or maybe when everyone else in the city is Boxing Day shopping. We'll see :)

[ladybeth.livejournal.com]

I would like to add the only reason I won't be seeing SH is because of lack of Transport of my own (I don't drive) and the unlikely hood that anyone in my family would want to see it.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

the internet (eventually) solves all such problems. (I refer, of course, to renting the movie off itunes ;)

[califmole.livejournal.com]

The poll included fandoms I used to follow but no longer read obsessively, such as Torchwood, Stargate Atlantis and NCIS, but I only checked the fandoms I'm actively reading.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

cool, good to know :) Thanks for answering!

[autumnus]

Adding Mentalist and The Longest Journey to the list.

and big emphasis on crossovers.

nice to know you are still alive.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Oh right, the Mentalist. I've been watching that on and off this year. I forgot about that one. What's the Longest Journey?

I hear you on the crossovers :D

and thanks :)

[irish-dragon.livejournal.com]

Well it has snowed and has been forecast (i'll believe it when I see it) more snow later this week...

It's about 10-28 degrees outside depending on the time of day, christmas is around the corner, I have 2 weeks left in school. and ACK 3 major projects due. LKH Faery book is due out this week.

THERE IS JUST SO MUCH GOING ON!

that about covers it.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Two weeks? Man, that's SO CLOSE. good luck with those projects (and with snow :)

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Yay for not being ded!

I do believe it snowed almost everywhere this weekend; it's crazy. I can't even use snow as an excuse to stay home from work - it's been so crazy I have to go in. Driving in it this morning was not fun.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I live in a place where, luckily, where snow is a rare occurrence. True, no one can drive in it, but no one expects anyone to. Good luck surviving the drive tomorrow...

[ccmom.livejournal.com]

I'm cold and I'm lurking for something hot. lol It's 9 degrees outside. I wanna go to Hawaii. *pouts*

*waves*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I think we're all looking forward to... what, March? It's warm in March, right?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

For a given value of "following" that ranges from "actively sought fic within the last week" to "I will read if it's there/recommended/in a crossover". Mind, with the exception of Profiler I've read more than one fic in each fandom. Non-crossover, even!

Plus Leverage, Burn Notice, Life, White Collar.

(Snow, hahaha. No. 31°C and sunny.)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Man, 31? where are you, in that mysterious southern hemisphere?

here in Canada, it's winter. Not really a surprise, but annoying nonetheless....

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

I've basically gone on the assumption that if I've written it or watched at least one season I'm involved in it. That has me involved in some VERY strange fandoms, of course, since I've written a lot of weird crossovers.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

weird crossovers are the best kind :)

[shaddyr]

Jude Law with a Pornstach. Bwahahah!

So, I'm thinking that a round of My Little Pony's or Lumberman Smoothies are in order here soon for us for surviving another year. Including hsifyppah actually, considering she truly survived it in the face of guns being pointed at her at work and all. Eek!

I think fic talk, booze and SGA. Yeah. That sounds good. What say you?

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Mhalachai finds this comment relevant to her interests. What are you thinking re timing?

[snippy]

I'm great! Got a new granddaughter this year, have been knitting and sewing, also began studying piano. Won a 40-inch flat screen off a raffle ticket (you know how your cow-orkers sell stuff--raffle tickets, gift wrap, magazines--for their kids' schools? one of those) and am just generally in a wonderful place and time.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Normally a 40-inch flat screen would be the biggest whoop, but new granddaughter totally blows that one out of the water! Congrats to you and the new parents :D Things sound pretty darn nifty in your neck of the woods.

[blienky27.livejournal.com]

I just lurk here, but I really love your fic, which I got into via the SGA/GG crossover. :D

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

Missing PoTs but I knpow you'll get to me it when you can :D

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

Oh and the weather has turned cold today, yesterday it was 26 and today I've had to put a jumper on! (That's celcius btw :D)

[sparrowsverse.livejournal.com]

I finished mininano! \o/ :D *iz currently brain ded and muse is on vacation*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

awesome! (how mini was that?)

Add a fandom

[skeptic7.livejournal.com]

I started reading The Sentinel fanfic and think you ought to write some for me of course this should come after Inevitable is finished
