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.

I would have to agree with drox here. The new series has me firmly in both camps. Previously, I was firmly in the fanboy category. I loved the discussions about continuity and the tech of time travel. I would never have been caught dead squeeing.

They bring out the new series, all smart and sexy, and part of me is reduced to complete fangirl--squeeing over CEDoc, Rose, and now Jack. Got a crush on every one of them and wouldn't turn any of them down in any combination they were offered. Darn it, there are just too many sexy bodies in that TARDIS at the moment.
