Name: Tei Blog/Journal/Site:tei Sample Post: Usually involves either fangushing over something or other, or Real Life Important things that happen in Meatspace. Except nothing important ever happens to me, don't worry. Fic when I write it, that is, sporadically and usually only when I have a challenge deadline hanging over my head for motivation. Like now. *Glances up nervously* Writer/Artist/Vidder/Iconographer/Knitter of Orange Blankets: Writer? But if I knew how to knit, I would totally knit orange blankets full-time. Country: Canada. Occupation: Student. That is, music student, for now. If you really want to hear about my RL, I will show you all about my angst over whether I should be doing a Classics degree or not, so check back this time next year and I may or may not be a Classics student who just happens to own a bassoon. What else are you into? (fannish): Mainly Doctor Who, which will surprise nobody as for some reason many Sherlock Holmes fans seem to be Doctor Who fans as well. I think they just go together nicely. What else are you into? (in the real world): Music-- as mentioned, I play bassoon, perhaps as a profession, perhaps not. Although I have never played a filk-appropriate instrument, or heard any in meatspace-- which is sort of the whole point of the genre, really-- I want to like burning. Classics-- as in, Greek, Latin and any related items-- is my love that keeps mugging my Music degree on its way home, and I would almost like to say that Cambridge Latin Course is my fandom because why yes, I have written fanfiction for a language textbook. No matter how hard I try, gymnastics is the only sport I give a damn about. I also like stuffed rabbits and smoothies and things that are fuzzy. One awesome thing you did this year: Took an impromptu trip to Vancouver, which is now my favorite city in the world. I am a Watsonian/ I am a Doylesian/ I have no idea what you're talking about: If this means what I think it does, Doylesian.
Favorite Character: Er, Sherlock Holmes? Favorite Character Who is Neither Sherlock nor John: Mycroft. I think he's hilarious and I loved the whole arch-nemesis thing. Favorite Pairing: *cocks eyebrow* Favorite Scene: Is it cheating if I pick my favorite scene from the unaired pilot? Well, I will. That scene. When he's on the roof. Just. I have a thing for people standing heroically on rooftops, okay? I engage in a geed deal of illicit roof-climbing myself. And John's face. His face. Riding Crop or Service Revolver: RIDING CROP GUUUUUUUUUH The Beeb's Modern AU - well-done or half-baked?: Well-done, except for the second episode. But everyone ignores that one anyway, so whatever. Original Story I'd most like to see adapted: I'm going to say The Empty House, although I'm not sure if the storylines are quite compatible. But I want to see sneaky Sherlock and fainting John!
Other Adaptations I Enjoy: I haven't seen one that I haven't enjoyed. Although to be fair, I haven't seen the one with the dinosaurs. Also, I am totally counting House as an adaption. Favorite Original Story: The Final Problem. Not gonna lie, I cried so much. Even though, y'know, obviously he wasn't dead because there were still several hundred more pages left in the book. Favorite Screen Holmes: Oh, Jeremy Brett. I don't even. I love Cumberbatch, but I don't see him when I think Sherlock Holmes. Best Granada Watson: ...I am incapable of paying any attention whatsoever to Watson in the Granada series. I know this is a bad thing and I feel bad about it. So I think I'll just say, my definitive Watson is in fact Jude Law, which surprised me quite a bit. I am a fan of another adaptation which is incredibly obscure and which I will now gush about: Er... not really... everyone's seen this clip from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, right?
My thoughts on yaoi: Thank goodness, I was almost starting to think you didn't care about my Thoughts On Yaoi! My Other Fandoms: Mainly Doctor Who and Sherlock, with a vague smattering of Torchwood and oh, Classics slash, I will take it wherever I find it! What I'd like to see happen in this comm: (Book clubs, movie nights, meetups, fic exchanges, weekly prompts, etc. etc. etc.) (Your mods are totally unsubtle in this regard) All of the above? :D
