Name: Jenny. Blog/Journal/Site:ghostgum (also jenwryn) Sample Post: Well, I post things like fanfic; and also random entries about my life, like this. More personal things are access-locked. Writer/Artist/Vidder/Iconographer/Knitter of Orange Blankets: Writer, definitely. I dabble in recording podfiction, too. And bake really nice cupcakes, but that's not really relevant, um. Country: Australia. Occupation: I'm a graduate student, and a baby librarian. That is, I'm new to the career; I don't catalogue babies. Though I totally could. :P What else are you into? (fannish): Mostly it's Sherlock for me, at the moment. I'm always into Doctor Who, though, and then there's Merlin, Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse... I fangirl, therefore I am, or something; just ask my delicious account. What else are you into? (in the real world): Talking too much, hanging out with my dog, walking, travelling, reading, writing poetry and not!fanfic, and cooking (vegetarians represent! or... whatever). One awesome thing you did this year: Oh God, this year has been little but grad school, therefore not terribly exciting. I have just applied for a spiffy-looking job, in the South Pacific, though; that feels pretty awesome right now. :D I am a Watsonian/ I am a Doylesian/ I have no idea what you're talking about: I am going by the skin of my teeth as to what these terms mean, but I'm guessing more Watsonian.
Favourite Character: John Watson. Favourite Character Who is Neither Sherlock nor John: Sarah. Or Lestrade. I can't choose. Go away. (Sarah really does need more love, though!) Favourite Pairing: John/Sherlock, being gloriously domestic and crazy. Favourite Scene: In the cab, in the first episode, when Sherlock has the big monologue about Harry; I adore that John just sits there and listens (surely most people would want to automatically correct the know-it-all, with a basic gender fact wrong!), and I adore the reactions after that. And then, of course, the entire pool scene, in episode three, slays me on many levels, too. Riding Crop or Service Revolver: Service revolver, please. The Beeb's Modern AU - well-done or half-baked?: Awesomesauce. The clothes alone make me fangasm. And don't even get me started on the love that is this contemporary Watson.
Other Adaptations I Enjoy: The 2009 movie, mainly. Favourite Original Story: "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." Favourite Screen Holmes: Big screen? That would be Downey Jr. I am a fan of another adaptation which is incredibly obscure and which I will now gush about: *the sound of crickets chirping* :D
My thoughts on yaoi: Tastes excellent with cocoa pops. My Other Fandoms: Primarily Doctor Who and Merlin, at the moment. What I'd like to see happen in this comm: I'm a modly mod, so don't really count. Fic exchanges are always epic, though.
