30 Days of Meme -- Day 04

Day 04. Your favorite show ever

Tough question. One show that will always be dear in my heart is Blakes 7; it was, really, my first fandom...even before I knew what fandom was. I wrote fanfic for it and with my friend [livejournal.com profile] gmnoonie fangirled discussed every episode. Yes, it had hokey special effects, wobbly sets, often dubious acting, and a budget of 5.49 GBP, but the storylines and writing were wonderful. And Avon was my first fannish crush.

However, when it comes down to it, my favourite show ever, has to be Highlander: The Series. I loved the original movie (and the less said about the subsequent ones the better), but it was with the series that I really became hooked into it and the fandom, despite the fact that I never had any great liking for Duncan MacLeod. The entire mythology of the show, as well as the history elements, have long inspired me, and now...more than, what?, twelve years since it ended, it is still my primary fandom. I RP OCs that have grown and grown well beyond what I could have hoped from them. It's just stuck with me, and I still love it.

Yeah, I had never known fandom, and it was still way before personal computers and internet.

Hehehe....ah, Legacy...fond memories. And I remember that...I'm so glad you finally got a hug from him!!

I can never remember when people count the internet as having started. It might have been pre-internet for me, but it wouldn't have been pre-PC. If I was 9 or 11 when I got into a fandom for myself instead of simply being in one of my parents, we already had a PC.

I'm so glad you finally got a hug from him!!

Thanks! When he gave it to me he told me, "You take that home to Maine with you." I'd given him the Maine moose I'd brought for John Barrowman, since he was there and John wasn't. I brought one for John and one for Gareth. You can see the moose in Gareth's pocket in this icon. *Points up.* I got hugs from Peter and Gareth at the "cocktails with the guests" Friday night. I remember telling Fleta after that I could die happy right there. I didn't even need to see the rest of the con. I still haven't gotten to meet John, but I have gotten hugs from James at Legacy, and Peter and Gareth at Torchsong. :D
