Aaaaand... pointless meme!

Seen on quite a few people's LJs.

1. How far have you been willing to travel to attend a fannish event?

Er, so far, to Los Gatos for a board meet. Ha, that's the only one I've really been to.

2. How far have you gone in trying to save a show or to get a sequel?

Um. I donated some money to the LA food bank thing as part of the Save Angel campaign because I figured it was a good thing to do. Generally, I am too lazy (everyone's going to jump me now). It took a lot of effort just to send an email to my congresspeople via the ACLU website on issues very important to me, so shows? Laziness triumphs.

3. How far have you been willing to overspend on one particular fannish item?

DVDs. Gah. So much money!

4. How far have you been willing to go tracking down a rare fannish item?

I'm actually not that big on collecting fannish items nowadays. I suspect this is because I spent waaaay too much money on Gundam Wing stuff back in the day.

5. How far have you gone to try and pimp someone into a fandom?

I actually try not to deliberately push my shows on to other people unless they've already showed a glimmer of interest. Most of this is because in general, I react very poorly to things pushed on me by people who mean well but do not understand my taste at all. So yeah, all those people who kept trying to convince me that Robert Jordan's latest book was good and I should catch up on the series, not much hope there. But I did manage to get one friend pretty hooked on the Buffyverse and some more people interested in GWing through sheer force of my excitement. And I introduced one friend to the wonders of XF fanfic. And I make the boy watch with me.

Ha, all in all, I am apparently not very fannish at all.

Uh. Haha, I don't even remember the title or even the number! Book 10 maybe?

I seethe disliking at the series. I think I stopped reading after book 6 in high school, and I've never really felt the need to go back.

I stop by the FAQ once in a while, because it has all the amusing conspiracy theories (I think in some respects it'd make a better fantasy roleplaying game setting than a series setting) and I have a friend who's fanatically devoted to it. But so many things about WHEEL OF TIME give me hives it ain't even funny. There were fun bits in the first 3 books, but after that the thing just falls off a cliff. I, too, am disinclined to read further, or God help me, reread. Ditto my sister. You are not alone. :-)
