I'm sure most of my fandom friends are familiar with the crack_van. I stumbled on the crack_van shortly after its inception; it was instrumental in bringing me out of my Harry Potter/FF.net phase (I know!) and into my lj period.

Anyway, I still check up on it occasionally, and it looks like there's a lot of new fandoms making the rounds in December. People are doing Idolslash (which, um, only astolat can make me read), and Chuck and Primeval and whatnot.

I'm the most excited about allyndra (a Chad/Ryan shipper!) reccing High School Musical and goddessdster reccing Hot Fuzz! I've never gotten super fannish about either, but I figure I should start squirreling away my fandom acorns for the post-Merlin 1.13 winter that's coming.

Anyway, it's definitely worth a look if you're bored. :)

Also, meeting linaerys for dinner tonight! We're going to Velselka, which should be fun. Pierogies and Merlin-squee, mmm.

OH, MOST EXCELLENT. Ryan/Chad is like my secret joy crack - I have so much stuff bookmarked with the little 'do not share' box ticked on del.icio.us :D

Also, Velselka - I have never been to New York ever, but is that the Eastern European restaurant that Nick and Norah go to?

Hee, I've read a few things- but HSM fandom scares me a bit, no lie. That's why I'm glad someone is around to rec me the good stuff.

And yep, they do go to Veselka in Nick and Norah. They're famous for their pierogies. :)

Oo, Merlin squee. Sounds like a plan. ;p

Don't mention the post 1.13 winter. I'm not sure how we'll cope yet.

If it wasn't for that pesky Atlantic Ocean you could totally come too! :(

Yeah, I just hope people start writing tons of fic. Maybe it will have one of those post-Series 1 explosions (like SGA) where everyone and their mother gets sucked in to the fandom.

....Idol Slash? You mean all those predictions we made about Amanda deflowering Archie...could come true on the interwebz?

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

It probably already has. I'M SO SORRY.

Oh, crack_van, LOVE OF MY LIFE! I have like, half a mind to find out how to sign up for Merlin, haha. *g*

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

You should! And do a fandom overview, it would need that too. :) I've recced for them twice and had a great time all around.

I love crack_van too! Although I haven't had a look there for a while. So....should I try and go see this High School Musical thingy?

Hope you had fun with linaerys!! Hope you both drank mead out of goblets, essential whilst squeeing over Merlin :-D

So....should I try and go see this High School Musical thingy?

YES. It's not good by any traditional definition of that word. But it is shiny and ridiculous, two of my favorite things! (Granted, I watched the first movie the night it premiered on the Disney channel long before it was even popular, so I'm probably a little biased.)

We did have fun! No mead, sadly, though there has to be place around here somewhere that sells it.

I've now downloaded the first one, so will let you know what I think! I like shiny and ridiculous too, so I'm sure I'll like it :-D
