June Something - Day 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

[popkin16]

Most of these answers will be too short to make a whole post for, so I'm combining. Plus, I keep slacking on this and I do love June Something, so.

What is your favorite celebrity interaction from any fandom you've had?

I haven't met that many actors and tbh I usually like to go unnoticed. But my favorite celebrity interaction is probably when I met Joe. I got his autograph and we chatted for just a couple minutes about how I was left handed. I also had a photo op with him which was awesome - he's very thin, in real life. And it was a hot day so his body was really warm too lolll. But mostly I'm just like, "Boy am I glad I'm just one in a thousand faceless people to him."

What is a kink that fandom introduced you to, and you said, "Yes, Please!"

Every kink. I legit didn't read kink fic until Stargate Atlantis loll. I started with xanthe and blueraccoon and here I am. I love sub!Rodney and dirty talk. Ooo and docking thanks to @melagan.

Is there any fandom that you regret getting into?

The MCU. I am a Tony stan first and foremost, so it was AWFUL reading all the anti-Tony posts on tumblr as people turned against him. Fuck that fandom.

Besides deathfic, rape/non-con, what is something that, no matter the pairing, you nope out of when it comes to reading?

INCEST. I can't read it. John and Rodney in speranza's capable hands couldn't do it. If that combo can't, nothing can. The closest I can come is step-siblings fic (of which there is barely any), and only fic they meet when they're teens. If they grew up together as siblings, then it's icky to me.

How open are you about being in fandom to your non-fandom friends/family?

My family knows NOTHING about slash and what I read online. They know I'm a big fan of Stargate and collection Stargate-related memorabilia, but that's about it.

My co-worker became my best friend after we bonded about Stiles/Derek. I don't think she reads that much fic anymore, but she knows I'm still into it. Other than that, the only RL friends that know about me are my Squee family.

I'm with you 1000% on the incest. There aren't any justifications that will get me to read it. Just...ick.

[popkin16]

I'm glad it's not just me :P I don't judge other people for what they like (well, within reason), but that's a hard no from me.

Waves at you from the squee family!

Heh, Rodney's foreskin does come in handy. Go Canadians!

I'm envious that you got to meet Joe! :D

[esteefee]

me, too. a hug from Joe (or David) would be a 4ever memory!

[popkin16]

I want a hug from David too :p Joe gives nice hugs and I want you to experience one too!

[popkin16]

*waves back*

LOL "Go Canadians! We're grateful for your foreskin!"

He's such a nice dude, mific! And so pretty...

[melagan]

I'll just say, you're welcome. ;)

[popkin16]

You have no shame and we love it ;)

By the way, here's a couple of bottom!Rodney fic links as a treat for you! :)

That really sucks about the hostile MCU fandom. That kind of negativity really ruins things. I feel really lucky that the SGA fandom is just so lovely all over, it's a really supportive and friendly fandom to be in, though I imagine it was pretty heated back in the day.

My parents know that I write fics, and if they took a second to google me they'd find it easy enough, but I hope that either they don't bother or I never, ever find out about it. My wife's family know about it too, and occasionally ask to read it but I've held firm in my 'no'.

[popkin16]

The negativity of the MCU fandom really did kill any love I had for the fandom. I haven't been able to read fic for it in many moons. The SGA fandom really is lovely, isn't it? Apparently SGA did have its wank back in the day, but it's been really wonderful as long as I've been in it (I joined in 2009). Really, the SGA fandom has spoiled me.

Oh man, yeah. I'm sure they won't bother to google you - why would they? IDK how old your parents are but mine aren't all that interested in the internet. I definitely don't blame you for firmly telling your wife's family "no" lol. That would make for some awkward dinners.

I have discovered SO many kinks through fandom. I thought I was pretty vanilla until I discovered fandom and then discovered that no, no I rather enjoy reading bondage and spanking and dirty talk and... so many more!

My boyfriend is the only person who knows about slash and shipping. The rest of my family gave up on me when I fell in love with sci-fi and have no interest!

OH MAN SAME. I feel like I've really learned about myself lolll.

I love that you've shared with your boyfriend that you're part of fandom :) That speaks to a lot of trust between you, I think. My family has no interest in scifi either, so I'm mostly left to my own devices on that end.

speranza was one of the only people that actually got me to read in the MCU fandom, because yeah - she's that good. But other than her fic, I haven't read anything that's MCU-centric at all. I think I would have probably had my heart broken had I gone into that fandom...

[popkin16]

There's probably a TON of really good fic if you're into Steve/Bucky. Some of it probably would have broken your heart. There was a good amount of Steve/Tony (my ship) back when I was in the fandom, though I have no idea where it's at now.
