Adventures in Fandom: Joss Whedon joined Twitter and Agent Coulson Lives

I know you all love talking about shipping, it seems to be the reason most of you come here but the more I post the more varied questions and requests I am getting. The problem is that I don’t really have anywhere to put these requests if they don’t directly relate to shipping or Teen Wolf.  Never fear, I have come up with a solution, a new weekly (or let’s face it whenever I feel like writing) post about my non-shipping related adventures in fandom!

Shipping News: Equal opportunity kissing with Doctor Who and more slash/femslash madness.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last instalment of this silly little series and the world of shipping has moved on without me… and boy has it been moving. The Doctor locked lips with someone unexpected, your fav slash and femslash ships are still battling it out, John Barrowman talks Sterek and Tumblr starting shipping AfterElton with Vh1. As you can see there is much to discuss so let’s get started. 

*mild spoilers for new Doctor Who

My Top Ten femSlash Ships

If you are new to fandom (or this website in particular), then you might not know that AfterEllen and AfterElton are currently holding tournaments in order to determine the best femslash and slash ship in the whole of the Internets. This excites me to no end because it encompasses my two favourite things - polls and slash. I love a good argument more than anything, and the fact that we’re arguing about slash just makes it that much better.

So anyway, to show my enthusiasm and perhaps even convert some of you to the wonderful world of shipping slash I decided to compile a list (everyone loves a top 10 list). I have already posted my top ten male/male slash ships but that’s just the warm up for this one... It’s the ladies turn, that’s right I am about to tell you my all time favourite female/female femslash ships.

Hiatus Catch Up: Community

Now I know this post isn’t exactly Christmas related, but it does fit with this time of year I promise. It fits because its hiatus time again, ratings have finished, your going on holidays and nothing is on TV and I’m sure everyone has started asking you what’s on your Christmas list. It’s a lot of pressure or at least it was until now because I am about to tell you what you want for Christmas – and consequently what you want to get for everyone else. I am talking, of course, about a little NBC comedy about a rag tag bunch of misfits and losers that attend college together aka Community.

TV’s Top 10 Christmas Episodes

It’s that time of year again folks, some of you might be sitting around wallowing in the loss of another year or dreading the inevitable family functions but I have a better idea. Let’s talk Christmas in Pop Culture – Anyway I thought I would attempt to spread some Christmas cheer the only way I know how – a top 10 list! I know top 10 lists annoy everyone but it’s Christmas so you have to forgive me.

New Year, New Season: My hopes are ready to be crushed in the 2011/2012 season.

It's that time again, that's right all our favourite (American) TV shows are about to return to out screens after the long summer hiatus. Filming started a few months ago, so the spoilers are out there, we've started to get the promos so we have an idea about what's going to happen – or at least what the networks want us to think is going to happen. Waiting is at it's worst, because it's so close yet so far, but this is still my favourite time. All that anticipation, all that hope, this is the moment when you can dream that all those things you want to happen will finally appear on the screen.

Before all that reality ruins the fantasy that is happening in the fandom everywhere I thought I would write about what I am looking forward to. Not only is this a bit of fun, but it's educational as well, because I'm sure you're all looking to me to work out what shows are worth returning to (or catching up on) in the new season.
