If you are apart of Fandom
Journal Entry: Mon Apr 28, 2008, 10:33 PM
Everyone,
I am writing a term paper on the community aspect of livejournal. I will primarily be focusing on the fandom use of Livejournal.
I have now expanded this to dA, because I am now focusing more on the fandom community on the internet.
If you have time, please fill out this meme, and email this to me (copy and paste) (My email is thekatesmeow at gmail dot com):
I, My Name, have filled out this questionaire (otherwise known as a "meme"), and know that my answers will be used by Kate Rothermel in a Anthropology paper for educational purposes. I freely allow these words to be used, as well as any additonal images that I have declared to be freely used."
Thank you!
THE MEME:
1. What is your user name on Livejournal (Deviantart), and why?
2. What made you become a part of a fandom community?
3. What is your favorite fandom? Why?
4. List your top three shippings, stating the pairing, source from where the characters are from, and why you want them together.
5. Have you ever been more emotionally involved in a fictional drama (ie, a couple breaking up, friends fighting) than activity in real life?
6. Do you feel a strong sense of community with those who share your fandom?
7. State a fictional character that you would defend as though you were defending a real person, and why you would (list as many as you like).
8. State a fictional character who you would badmouth/gossip about as though they were a real person, and why (list as many as you like)
9. Have you ever been involved in a argument over shipping/character that escalated to flamming, or even more extreme forms of anger? Please relate the event.
10. How do you contribute to your fandom community? (ie fanart, fanfiction, etc). Do you actively look for such things by others? Why?
Optional:
11. Do you know what house you would be in at Hogwarts? Do you feel strongly about your house? (if applicable)
12. Please attach one to three of your favorite LJ icons, and why. It would be preferable, but not mandatory, that they are fandom related.
...
Please feel free to make your answers as long or as short as possible! Thank you! I'll even post my own answers as a comment later!

I strongly recommend just going down to the local animal welfare society. If you're only in your current location temporarily, you can help them and yourself at the same time by volunteering to walk the dogs and cuddle the cats.
I got my first cat in a decade, last week. ("Sharkbait", my earlier cat, had a particularly traumatic death in Hawaii, and I cruise around the Pacific so it's hard to make a lifetime commitment to a cat.) I'm thinking of naming this cat "Sputnik" because it's a very small satellite, following me from room to room and never more than arm's length away. I had to set up a chair for it in the washroom, so it could be petted while I ...err.... read a book, and I'm learning to be very careful as I roll over in bed, so as not to crush the little gal.
It's a 2-month-old streetcat, ginger, female, red eyes. It followed me into a beachside restaurant, attacked my backpack, and napped on my shoulders. My friends and the waiters made me take it home
