A brief ode to fandom
Mar. 11th, 2011 10:29 pmSo my beloved TV boyfriend TROY BARNES just won ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
f_march_madness , and I am absolutely thrilled! I completely underestimated fandom at large when I filled out my bracket. Even though I didn't actually participate beyond the simple act of voting, I enjoyed this year's competition so much. Everyone was so nice. The best part was reading all of the comments on Troy vs. the Doctor and seeing tons of people saying that they had been inspired to watch Community/Doctor Who because of the comm and the wonderful campaigning. How awesome is that?
In the immortal words of our victor, "Huzzah!"
Also, my sister and I recently purchased the Game of Thrones card game and OH MY GOD SO FUN. It's super complicated and a tad confusing. Took us several hours just to begin playing, and then our first game was spread out over three days. But we've got a better grasp of it now (mostly) and it's pretty much the greatest thing I've ever played. Even better than Settlers of Catan and Lord of the Rings Risk. You play as one of four Houses (Stark, Baratheon, Targaryen, and Lannister) and so far I have decided that the Lannisters are the most fun. They're all a bunch of sneaky bastards and it's awesome.
