Since the Slash Study Day I've really been into fandom again, really feeling how much I love it, because going there was so much fun. I've downloaded loads of music videos off the net, which is great - remind me to show you all when I see you next :)
More importantly I've been reading loads of Stargate Atlantis fic because everyone said it was great and it really is, but now I have this huge and unending desire to watch the show and I can't just buy it now because I have no money and the Starbucks manager lady still hasn't got back to me about when to start (argh.) So I'll just have to hanker after John and Rodney from afar (boohoo!) Hopefully will be getting the boxset for my birthday, preferably the American one, simply because from UK Amazon it's £41 but from the USA it's £26 INCLUDING SHIPPING! Like, what the hell? That's amazingly fantastically cheap! Is it just the good exchange rate, or has the world gone mad? And how long is it until I can get my grubby paws on it? (Hopefully just 18 days...)
I joined The Sentinel mailing lists meaning to become more involved in the fandom, but I've found that I'm actually sort of a fic-reading loner fan who likes to meet people in person but is very bad at forums and stuff. The only one I've kept up for any length of time is the Britpicking forum over at FictionAlley, because I like everyone there so much andtopic ranges wildly and crazily all over the place. So maybe I should just shut up and get on with being a fan. But maybe you should all come do it with me, huh? (My Dad did suggest that we take my possible laptop and set it up so we're playing two things at once at my party, to which I said no, but if we did it would be called AmyCon and rock so much greatness etc.)
