How Far Five...
1. How far have you been willing to travel to attend a fannish event?
Um...down the block? I've considered attending the witching hour in Salem, more because I love Salem, but events aren't really my thing. i don't do well around large groups of people--I get masochistic.
Wait...since I was a member of the Nsync fandom, does attending concerts throughout the country qualify as events? Because then, yeah, I do go to stuff.
2. How far have you gone in trying to save a show or to get a sequel?
Signed a petition. I'm a very lazy fan girl.
3. How far have you been willing to overspend on one particular fannish item?
Heh-heh. I've spent tons of money traveling for music groups, but for one particular fannish item...probably 100 bucks for some dvds at most.
4. How far have you been willing to go tracking down a rare fannish item?
For myself? Not very far. When my sister wanted a Slytherin scarf and before they were really released? Very far.
5. How far have you gone to try and pimp someone into a fandom?
I'll force certain friends (Steph, in particular, since we have similar tastes) into watching shows and then she'll ask for fanfiction...but um...not that far.

Today is also a good day because I get paid this afternoon and I'm in dire need of money to pay my car insurance that just came in--damn NJ insurance prices! I'm also going to see Brad Pitt and Orlando hotness Bloom in Troy this evening. I have a feeling this movie will either be very good or very bad. I don't think there will be any in-between area.
**
Despite my best efforts to avoid it, I started a Sarkney fic. I'm not going to post it until its complete because given my track record at the moment, I have too many open projects awaiting completion. It's not fair to anyone who reads my stuff or me. I also have a huge regular fiction deadline hovering over my head at the moment--so much fun when all I have inspiration for is fanfiction. Sometimes I wonder how I do these things to myself. Does anyone else do this? Start so many fics while working on others? It's driving me mad.
I'm off to do some work for the remainder of the day.
