nochick_fics and being completed in 1 day because my foggy brain cannot remember to do this for 30 days straight XDDay 01 – Your favorite all-time fandom(s)
ALL TIME FAVS... Definitely Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach. I would say InuYasha but most people in the fandom are rabid and some are downright vicious if you don't agree with them.
Day 02 – Your current fandom
Right now I'm mostly involved in FMA, though I still dabble in IY and Rurouni Kenshin.
Day 03 – First fandom, the one that made you the fangirl you are today
InuYasha
Day 04 –First, current, or favorite fandom crush
MIROKU from IY! He'll always be my favorite even if my eye does wander to other cute dudes, like Renji Abarai, Shunsui Kyoraku, Roy Mustang, Jean Havoc, Greedling, Sebastian Michaelis, Lau, Jiraiya, Haji, Light Yagami (Live action version please) the Hitachiin twins, Joseph Jobson, Shiki, Shizuo Heiwajima, Nicholas D. Wolfwood and Zero Kiryu. (gah so many hot guys! XD)
Day 05 – Your fandom secret
ummm... what do you mean secret? like secret fandom you love but don't want anyone else to know you like? I can't think of any... though I will admit to being a huge fangirl of Koi Kaze, an incest series where a brother and sister who weren't raised together hook up and fall in love. And the dub is supposed to be coming soon!!!
Day 06 –Favorite song that brings fangirl tears to your eyes
hmmm. The strings arrangement of 'Dearest' on InuYasha. It's so beautiful and sad.

I think that's enough for now but there are more.
Day 08 – A fandom that you thought you wouldn’t get sucked into, but ended up getting sucked into anyway
Naruto. I tried to watch it dubbed and dropped it, but then missyquill started getting me interested in the Kakashi/Sakura pairing, so I decided to start it again subbed and it's much better. I liked Jiraiya before I knew anything about the series though XD
Day 09 – One of your favorite characters
WOW that is hard to pick. At the moment one of my favorite characters is Ryugamine from Durarara!! Little mastermind!
Day 10 – Your favorite scene or moment from one of your favorite fandoms
InuYasha: When Sesshoumaru gets his arm back and Bakusaiga is 'born'. I love that part!!
Day 11 – The fan art, fan fiction, cover song, cosplay, etc. that you’ve made that you’re most proud of
My best received fan art was for the FMA Big Bang, and it's for missyquill's story Frozen. The picture is called 'At Mother's Vanity' and Riza is cutting herself at her mom's old dressing table. My favorite fan fiction is 'Forgive Me' for the RK fandom because everyone's so in character. The only cosplay I've ever made was for Madame Christmas from FMA and it's AWESOME!!
Day 12 – Your favorite fanartist or fanfiction writer
OMG my favorite freaking fanartist is hands down Zyephen. Here's her RedCurtain profile for the NC17 stuff ;) She does OUTSTANDING work for Blood+, Bleach and InuYasha. Her original stuff is amazing too. And I could never choose my favorite writer. There's so many across the fandoms!
Day 13 – The best cosplayers of your fandom that you’ve seen; the ones you consider to be real-life versions of your favorite characters, OTP, etc.
I don't know if this counts, but the Bleach Musicals in Japan... I think they completely nailed the entire cast. There is no better cast than that. They look like them and are in character... AMAZING. There's also a really good Sesshoumaru out there.
Day 14 – A group of characters from one of your fandoms you’d love to hang out with for a day
LOL I'd love to have a party with these people: Ling, Greed 1.0 and his crew in Dublith, Havoc and Braeda from FMA, Lau, the Undertaker and Grell from Black Butler, The Hitachiin twins from Ouran, Miroku from InuYasha, Ukitake, Kyoraku, Matsumoto, Yoroichi, Urahara, Renji and Kenpachi from Bleach, and Natsume, Kagerou, and Nobara from Inu x Boku SS. I think that would be a great freakin party XD
Day 15 –Your favorite collectible/merchandise from your fandom that you most cherish, or one that you wished you owned
I wish I had a body pilow with Miroku on it XDDDDD
Day 16 – A quote from one of your fandoms that you love
"No matter how powerful you become, you're still just a human being. Do not ever try to become something more than that." - Seijuro Hiko, Rurouni Kenshin
Day 17 – Your favorite piece of art, be it original or a fan art, from your favorite fandom
It's hard to choose ultimate favorites when there's so many arts and fandoms! But this is one of my favorites for sure: Haji and Saya bathing together
Day 18 – An instance where you turned a friend into a fangirlnightlove1: 'Man, Izumi is FREAKIN' AWESOME!'sonjajade: 'If you like her just wait til you meet Olivier XD'
a few episodes later:
'OMFG OLIVIER!!!!!!! And she's totally banging that Miles guy isn't she? Who cares who she's banging OLI OLI OLI!!!'
'LOL I told you!!'
Day 19 – A theory (be it legitimate or completely crack) that you have always had about one of your fandoms
I think the 'Chiropterans' in Blood+ are a physical embodiment of man's lust for world power and immortality.
Day 20 – A character from a fandom whose clothes, hair, or features you’ve always admired
I really like Rose Thomas' hair from FMA. Bangs don't look good on me, but I like that she has this rebellious pink color in the front. It looks tasteful to me.
Day 21 – A moment, character, quote –ANYTHING- from one of your fandoms that had a great impact on your life
There was something in the RK OVA Trust and Betrayal that always stuck with me. It was about Kenshin being a wild brandished blade and needing a sheath. Later I heard that same concept brought up in Akira Kurosawa's movie 'Sanjuro'. I take it to mean you can't do anything at full tilt all the time. Whether it's killing men, working the fields, a hobby or a profession, you need one person whom you can feel comfortable enough with to stop and take a break with. I guess it's like the 'All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy' concept. It just seemed to make more sense as 'A blade that is never put in its sheath quickly becomes dull.'
Day 22 – How you first got into being a fangirl
It all started one Saturday night when watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. I only had it on for noise really, I thought anime was stupid and dorky. Then I decided I should go to bed and get some sleep because it was getting late. But I wasn't sleepy, so I thought watching dumb anime would make me tired. I saw InuYasha first and wanted to figure out why there was this sailor moon looking chick in the middle of old school Japan. Eventually I starte watching it out of curiosity. Then I saw a few episodes of the original FMA series and thought it was incredibly sad, and I'd never seen an anime that wasn't a mecha type thing and packed with action adventure crap going on. From there it just kinda snowballed.
Day 23 – The silliest nerd/fangirl argument you’ve ever gotten into with someone
Defending my monk, Miroku. The other person accused him of being basically a morally bankrupt pervert who only lusted for Sango so bad because she was unattainable unlike his other conquests. My husband thought I was stupid for getting so angry XD
Day 24 – A town, city or village in a fandom of yours that you’ve always wanted to live in
I would go to Central in Amestris like RIGHT NOW. But I've also wanted to see Kyoto because of RK, and I wonder if Ikebukuro is a real place... I should google that. Also Prague because of Monster, just to see if there's a Three Frogs Inn
Day 25 – Do you celebrate character birthdays? If so, tell us about the best character b-day party that you’ve ever thrown! XD no.
Day 26 – A fandom of yours that you feel is vastly underappreciated
Blood +. This is a fantastic anime series (the manga is short and is much more Haji/Saya centric, while the anime develops the supporting cast better). Unfortunately, it's not that big as a fandom and I don't know why. All the Saya/Haji stories are ooc/mary sue fics and the other players hardly get mentioned. I wish it could blossom into the fandom it should be.
Day 27 – Your favorite meme concerning one of your fandoms
I don't have one... most of my memes encompass all the fandoms.
Day 28 – Do you have a fandom tattoo? If you don’t and want to get one (or hypothetically wanted to get one), what would it be of?
I would LOVE to have the Flamel tattooed on me somewhere. That symbol is sort of like a mascot for the whole show, plus it's a real graphic from history, as is the oroborous. I didn't realize this til just a few days ago, but the quote 'Not all those who wander are lost' is actually from Toilken, not RK as I thought. But I wanted that written in Japanese across my shoulders.
Day 29 – If you plan on having children, would you name one of them after your favorite characters? If so, explain.
Actually, If I have a girl I was considering Riza and Saya. I already have a boy, but before I knew what I was having the girl name I chose was Josephine. Since I now have a Josef, I can't very well use that for a girl anymore. I have a dog named Koga after the wolf prince in InuYasha :D and little Edo for Ed in FMA (though lately we've been calling him Fred/Fredward).
Day 30 –The reason why you’re proud to be the nerdy fangirl that you are!
I am glad to be part of an exclusive form of entertainment that goes beyond sight gags and toilet humor you find in Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, etc. The depth of the characters and the messages in the stories in anime rival that of any serious live action drama on American TV right now and I don't care how juvenile it makes me look, I am proud to be a fangirl!

Date: March 28th, 2012 04:11 pm (UTC)Well, maybe we should drink with someone else then? Like Jiraiya and Kakashi? Or we could go to Rurouni Kenshin fandom and drink with Seijuro and Sano, though I know Seijuro could out drink both of us and I'm pretty sure Sano could too XD
