Questions and Answers

From the 'ask me fandom questions' meme I posted a few days ago:

virtual_toast:
What is the thing you hate the most about Supernatural?
I'm not sure whether this means the show itself or the fandom so I'll cover both. In terms of the show itself I'd say the pacing and writing of season 5. I'm still really disappointed at how that whole thing played out
In terms of the fandom it's the sheer amount of wank. Of course I don't think everyone should agree but there's really no need to get so damn nasty about it. I don't like or ship Wincest but I'm still friends with people who do. Each to their own and all that.

What is one fandom you love that you never thought you'd be involved in?
Honestly? Supernatural. I've been watching the show from the beginning but for years all the fics seemed to be Wincest so I watched the show but steered clear of the fandom. Then Cas came along and everything changed

Is there anything that'd make you stop watching Supernatural for good?
I did actually nearly stop watching midway through season 4 because it didn't feel like the same show I had started watching. Got over that though. Now, I think I'd stop watching if the writing went to hell and everyone was badly characterised or the underlying theme of the show chaged. I think it would have to get pretty bad for me to quit though. I made it through 7.5 seasons of Smallville after all

With so many shows to choose from, how do you decide which ones you want to give a chance?
I listen to my friends. I generally get a feel for what's good from what I hear on LJ and Twitter. I don't always agree though. Nearly all of my friends love Glee and I made it through 4 episodes before I decided it wasn't for me. But that's usually what I base my viewing on.

If you could kill off one character on any show, who would it be and how would they die?
Lana Lang in Smallville. Oh, the rage still burns even though she hasn't been in it for ages. I don't even care how it happens. Maybe her super-krypto-powers will make her explode

Sam, Dean, Cas, Bobby and Crowley sit down of an evening to play strip-poker. Who's the first to end up with no clothes on...who maintains their modesty?
Well, Sam has already proved he's an amazing poker player so he would still be fully clothed at the end. I can see Cas winding up naked first as he wouldn't really understand the rules. He does have an awesome pokerface though

And...If each of these characters had a 'party-piece' what would it be?
Dean would fully assemble a gun in less than 30 seconds, Sam would recite some ancient poem in a dead language, Crowley would perform tricks with Growley and Cas would down an entire bottle of vodka like it was water

Other than the fandom/fandoms you're involved, what other TV show/film etc. do you really like?
White Collar and Leverage are both shows I have never read or written fic for but that I heart to itty bitty pieces. Oh, and Community too.

What's your favourite pairing other than Dean/Castiel and Jensen/Misha?
I'm on a real kick for Jared/Misha at the moment. I'm trying to convert all my friends ;)
