...Inexplicable, like souls in dreams

Music junkie, storyteller, coffee addict, film fanatic, bookworm, shutterbug, anglophile, and chocoholic. I frequently post about Supernatural, Firefly, The Vampire Diaries, Big Bang Theory, HIMYM, Disney movies and British shows like Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, L&O:UK, Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Mock the Week, and QI. Benedict Cumberbatch, David Tennant, Jensen Ackles, Freema Agyeman, Misha Collins, John Barrowman, Matthew Grey Gubler, Josh Groban, Christian Kane, Joss Whedon, and Bradley James get a lot of my attention. I have deep and abiding obsessions with Calvin & Hobbes, Shakespeare, David Eddings, Tolkien, World Without Sundays, fairy tales, Arthurian legend, photography, history podcasts, Ireland, Charlie Chan movies, guitars, Greek mythology, and playing in the rain. Music, any kind of music, is what I love the most, but writing is how I express myself.

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Well, I just received a fan-freakin’-tabulous one-shot from a certain someone. I love everything from her. :-)

There are too many fandoms for me to list a fic from them all, so I’ll just say my favorite Doctor Who fic is called End of the Story. It’s written in second person (which I always love) from Martha’s POV and it was one of the first fics I read when I got into the fandom.

And Michele, you’re going to be the only person who knows what I’m talking about now because now I’m going back to the good ol’ days of FanGirlOnline. But, my all time favorite fanfic/author is Atmosphere by Dr. Fabulous. She introduced me to the world of RPF and if it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have ever written Remember When It Rained, I definitely would’ve never known about World Without Sundays, and I probably wouldn’t be writing at all. It’s been, what, almost seven years since we were first on FanGirl? But I still reread Atmosphere all the time.

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

If I Walk Away by Josh Groban always make me think of Arthur and Gwen in Merlin, specifically the episode “Queen of Hearts” when Arthur says he’d give up the throne of Camelot to be with Gwen. Expect to see it on a fanmix sometime soon.

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

Mmm…I can’t think of any I’ve blatantly abandoned. There are some that I’ve certainly neglected, but I don’t think I’ve just left any of them.

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

I do rather like Dean with some crossover pairings. Particularly Claire from Lost or Piper from Charmed.

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Sherlock Holmes from Sherlock, Martha Jones from Doctor Who, Dean Winchester from Supernatural, Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother, and Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds.

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Cory and Topanga from Boy Meets World (they were my first OTP), Ianto Jones and Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood, and Matthew and Mary from Downton Abbey.
