Friends

I didn't know about the QaF fandom, InsaneJournal, or even LiveJournal until a week ago. I found you because I was searching for QaF forums, having just started watching the series again and having no one to talk to about it. I first started watching from the pilot in 2002 on SBS tv here in Australia. Believe it or not I haven't seen season 5 or quite a bit of 4. So I have a lot to look forward to!

I posted in my journal about what it was like discovering QaF for the first time. I have also been posting in the Gusmas drabble challenge and having an absolute ball. This is such a wonderful place to be, I really have come home.

I'm a mum of a 1 year old and a 6 year old. I also study part time, but the semester's finished, which is why it was time to indulge in the warmth and colour of my darling boys and girls who I'd missed all these years.

Today I just finished watching season 1 for the 2nd time in my life. It was weird watching the last episode again. I couldn't look forward to prom because I knew what would happen. When I saw it the first time I was truly a mess (I was pregnant too, and it was like I was walking around with a few layers of skin missing, emotionally speaking). I couldn't stop crying. The way they played it, I thought Justin had died. Then I had to wait for ages until they screened the next season. It's so different coming to it knowing how it turns out. Less upsetting, but also less deep an experience.

Anyway, it's a joy to meet you all. Another lengthy post! Thank God for the constraints imposed by drabbles ^_^~

I hope everyone is ready for the amazing 107 marathon, starting in about 10 min (holy crap ET has been on time two weeks in a row!!)

Just a quick programing note, next week I am going to be out of town and kari77 has graciously offered to host the 108 marathon next Sunday night. So be super nice to her!

I hope all the Americans had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone is having a great weekend. Just a quick reminder post about the Episode 107 marathon happening tomorrow at 8pm CET (2pm US east coast/11am US west coast)! I hope to see all of you there, and if you can't be there "live" then stop by later!

A quick programing note: I am going to be out of town next weekend (Sunday Dec 6). Is someone else willing to do the posting for the 108 marathon?

Welcome to a Mini-Marathon of 101, 102, 512 and 513.

We will start with 101 followed immediately by 102. Then we will start with 512 at 10pm EST and immediately follow with 513. The discussion for ALL 4 episodes will be on one post. This one. :D

Here we go! :D

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all of the American members! This topic came up during a car ride home with my roommate, so it seems a relevant good wish to make before proposing it haha

SO ANYWAY. My roommate and I were talking, and we came to the conclusion that every sex scene that has ever been in QAF was used as some sort of plot device or has been important to a character arc. We tried to stump each other with this theory, but couldn't do it! So I need to bring it to the bigger table. They're all aesthetic, of course, haha, but: do you all agree with this unproven theory? Was there a point to every one? Or was this another thing Cowlip couldn't get consistent? Feel free to point out any that you can't see the bigger picture~ behind or whatever. This holiday weekend I'll need some good entertainment.

(AND SPEAKING OF LONG WEEKENDS, if any of the members here are into the RP scene here on IJ, a small group of people and I are trying to put together a group storyline that would take place in real time and because I don't want to openly waste room advertising when it's just a side note here: the information on that is all here, if anyone is interested.)

I've decided I would like to watch the beginning and the end this friday night.

So if anyone would like to join me I'll be watching episodes 101, 102, 512 and 513. I will start around 8pm EST. I hope one or two of you will drop by and join me. It's not going to be very structured or as detailed as I get when I do the full series marathon. Just me taking a look at where everybody is when we first meet them and comparing that to where they are at the end. And no doubt some squeeing.

So if you like, stop on by. I'll probably be there most of the night!!

I bring you some Thanksgiving fare - Brian and Justin style. To everyone celebrating, have a great holiday and to all others enjoy your Thursday!


Thanksgiving by Myrna - when Myrna gets it right, she gets it so very right and the end of this story makes me melt...just melt.

Hi, everyone!

We've got challenges, icons, polls, picspams......and something very special!

Check out the love under the cut.

QAF Fandom News from InsaneJournal, for Nov 25th, 2009

Just a random thought:
In your opinion, what relationship represents the core of the show? When I say relationship, I don't (necessarily) mean a romantic one. Rather, I'm defining it as bond between two or more characters – be it romantic, platonic, or familial. This is less an "what's your OTP" question than "if you strip everything else away, what relationship remains?"

I've heard a lot of different answers to this kind of discussion over the years, but I don't know that I've ever come up with a definitive answer on my own. For me, there are three main possibilities:

( Under the cut! )

What do you think? What represents QAF's core relationship to you? Is it one of my choices, or something else completely?

I'm posting a bit early today (OMG ET's on time for something!!!!!) So episode 106 marathon here starting at 8pm CET!

So sorry I didn't post the reminder sooner, but tomorrow, Sunday, at 8pm CET, we will be marathoning 105! Hope to see everyone there!

ETA: I'm an idiot. Its 106 not 105. *face palm*

Anyone in the mood for some steamy porn from some of our finest porny writers? If so, have at it and remember, I'm not responsible for your reactions. :D
