I know I don’t have a huge amount of followers, especially in the DA Fandom, but I thought you might like to know a little bit about me if you have started following me recently - this won’t be news to those “old guard” who know me from my SG1 days of course (luv ya Chelle & the others xoxo)
I’m quite old, married a loooong time now and a mum of one and granny to a five year old Angel/Princess who I don’t actually post pictures of on here.
I called myself a middle-aged rock chick for years, I LOVE music - rock, britpop and really great singer-songrwriters. I used to gig a LOT in my forties and am proud of the fact I have done the “proper camping” bit at a few Festivals, and “moshed” at Muse a couple of times - nearly killed me in the process but I did it!.
I got into internet fandoms first with music forums (brutal & vicious) then found Sci-Fi, in particular the Stargate SG1 fandom and I mean REALLY got into it, going to Conventions, visiting Vancouver and the set where it was filmed, meeting & getting to know some of the actors and travelling all over North America, Europe and the UK indulging my “hobby”. I also found my first m/m pairing through the, at that time, MASSIVE Jack O’Neill/Daniel Jackson slash fiction sites and I was hooked - still am.
I LOVE travel, and have travelled extensively in Canada, the US and Europe. I’m married to a half-Belgian and consider myself a European Brit..I LOVE Europe but also my own English roots and heritage and think that my county, Kent - Garden of England, where I have lived since I was 2 years old - the most beautiful place on earth..sometimes.
I also love to cook and eat out. although probably indulged too much, which resulted in a BIG health scare 3 months ago, which I’ve just about recovered from, losing both my gallbladder & over 2 stone in weight and getting a lot of my health conditions (Diabetes & Blood Pressure) FINALLY under control. I still eat out and “fine dine” but not quite as much as I used to.
I fell into the DA Fandom by watching the film first - I avoided the series for many years, because I’m a butterfly with the attention span of a gnat and don’t do long-running series really well - hence my other “historical” fannish choice “Versailles” (gay love story, sense a pattern here) which ran only 3 series of short episodes. But once Mr Max Brown and Mr Richard Ellis, 2nd Valet to His Majesty entered the scene, smiled at the gorgeous Mr Thomas Barrow (and me) on the screen I was hooked. Within days I had started a re-run of DA from Ep.1 to the end and started rooting through AO3 to find my “fix”.
Which I did, am still doing, and will be doing (along with Jack and Daniel, Monsieur & Chevalier de Lorraine) till I’m old and grey & in my dotage. Well I’m grey now, but all that’s hidden under bright Violet Purple Hair - did I mention I surround myself with Purple.
So as the title of this blog says - Eat, Geek, Travel, Repeat.
It’s What I Do.
Discodiva (Deeds), Karaokesoul, Carol (to those that now know me in RL) xoxo
