Hello!
So you're a Dead Zone fan? Glad to have you around! It's a long-term project of mine to participate in this particular fandom and keep encouraging fellow fans to speak up, chat, etc. Since it's been a while since I set up a community, I feel at loose ends creating a first post. But it only makes sense to do something of an introduction, right? So here's the place to do that!
You don't have to use the following form, but here's something optional:
<b>Name</b>:
<b>Website?</b>
<b>How do you participate in fandom?</b> (e.g. writer, artist, reader, theorist, etc. )
<b>Favorite DZ character? (Pairing?)</b>
<b>Favorite DZ episode?</b>
<b>Have you read the book or watched the original film?</b>
<b>Other fandoms:</b>
<b>Anything else?</b>

How do you participate in fandom? I began as a "theorist" (though we didn't use that term) and reader, then started writing fic a few years back. I also make icons and wallpapers, occasionally. No fic yet for DZ, but I'm working on it.
Favourite DZ character? (Pairing?) I came to DZ fandom via Cesperanza's fic, so Johnny/Walt, and while I like all the main characters, I love Walt best. The stoics get me every time. I'm not a Stillson fan, and I don't particularly care about the whole Armageddon plot.
Favourite DZ episode? "Descent"/"Ascent", "Plague", "The Mountain", "No Questions Asked", "Into the Heart of Darkness". (My bias, let me show you it. *g*)
Have you read the book or watched the original film? Nope, and have no interest to do so.
Other fandoms: I'm primarily in Stargate fandom (SG-1 and SGA, not SGU). I only dabble in DZ, having recently dusted off my DVDs.
Anything else? I prefer slash or gen in most fandoms, though I'll 'ship the odd het pairing. I'm not much for femslash. For DZ, I 'ship Johnny/Walt, but I'll read Johnny/Sarah/Walt and Johnny/Bruce. Not that there's a whole lot of fic in this fandom!
Like I mentioned, Stargate takes up most of my fannish energy, so I don't anticipate playing in DZ fandom much. But I'm trying to write a DZ fic and felt I should at least say hello to the fandom :)
So, hi. *waves*

Date: 2010-02-13 04:37 pm (UTC)It's good to meet you! If you're craving DZ fic, I'm going to shamelessly self-plug here & direct you to my long list of stories. If you get a chance to read any, I'd love to hear your input! If not, no prob.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. (Um, although I admit that I'm not keen on the Johnny/Walt pairing, heh. I have read a couple stories before, though.)

Date: 2010-02-13 07:52 pm (UTC)If I hadn't imprinted on Johnny/Walt, maybe I'd 'ship Johnny/Bruce--there'd be no pesky infidelity to work around, at least! Will comment once I have a chance to read :)
I'm nervous about my story, which is due in 4 weeks for Small Fandom Big Bang and barely a quarter written. *bites nails* I'm re-jigging the DZ pilot, so Sarah married Bruce instead of Walt, and later Walt and Johnny hook up. It's meant to explore how their lives could be different if Sarah and Walt hadn't met at the hospital. We'll see how it goes!

Date: 2010-02-16 05:40 pm (UTC)There are yahoo!groups for mailing lists. Again, not terribly active (at least ones I'm on) but you can always poke your head in and there's some great people there.
If you get into J/B a little more, there's a fabulous series of zines from Rainbowpress. And yes I'm biased given that they're my OTP and I have stories in each, lol. But they are really great and there's a bunch of fic that's not posted online. Three editions, they stopped the issues a couple years ago. =\
Good luck on SFBB! I was signed up originally for writing but I dropped out. NaNoWriMo kinda threw me off in writing plans, lol. I'm still signed up for art, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up being paired with you (as long as you finish)! Go, go, go! You can do it! *breaks out cheerleading flags*
