Writer's Block: Fan love

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Ah, this one is simple. Buffy Summers. I may be obsessed with other things right now, but Buffy was the first fandom I truly loved and appreciated. A character like Buffy proved a young woman could do awesome things and that was inspiring to young me when I started watching. And it's because of Buffy that I got into writing. Buffy fanfic was the first thing I ever wrote and posted anywhere. Thankfully, the website where I posted is gone so those early forays are lost to time. :-) I think that made a bigger impact on my life than anything. I don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't writing something every day. Probably bored out of my skull.

As for the memorabilia? Well, you should see my bookshelf. Filled with Buffy books and comics. And then there are the DVDs. And the action figures I have kicking around my closet. I even have an old folder full of articles about Buffy. I must have tore through every teen magazine known to man just to grab pictures. Sigh. Those were the days.

Ditto!

There is a small problem with my icon list... it has no Buffy icons... oh dear...

I mean, I love the Doctor too, but I think that love comes out of the fact that I just adore David Tennant. When I think about the Doctor as a whole, he's great but he's not my favourite favourite. :-)

Personally, I try to have at least one icon from every fandom that I enjoy, but then there's the hard part: actually choosing an icon. So many good ones out there.
