Kate's Fan Gender

[dreamer_easy]

I'm a fanboy. Doctor Who is an integral part of my being. I know a huge amount about it - fact and fiction - and can nitpick continuity or argue ratings with the best. I can slap someone down in an argument with facts and logic. I write fanfic which emphasises plot, concept, and background. I met my husband and numerous friends through our shared interest in Who.

I'm a fangirl. I love to squee with others about boys - whether it's my permanent thighsweats for McGann, or my crush of the moment. I'm a dilettante, discovering new texts and fandoms only to move on again, picking up jargon, conventions, and in-jokes along the way. I can defuse an argument with jokes and questions. I write fanfic which emphasises character, relationships, and sexuality. At cons, I'm more interested in socialising than discussing texts.

Discuss.

Not much in there seems particularly gendered to me. Except for the squeeing.

That's probably just me, though.
