Took the BoB survey

Drop and Give Me 20: Questions for Band of Brothers Slash Fandom
1. When did you first see the slash potential?	The first time a group of insane people forced me to watch it! Was confused and kinda wavering until 'Replacements' where we see the famed shooting scene. It was total love from that on.
2. Did you ever feel guilty about it?	Yes, actually. When I realized the whole RPSness of it. Got over it, though.
3. Which episode is the best, objectively speaking?	Why we fight.
4. Which episode is the slashiest?	I can't say. They all are.
5. Which episode is your personal favorite?
6. When did you first burst into tears?	In Why we fight, when the old man hugs the soldier. I still cry when I watch that.
7. Winters and Nixon: who's on top?	I think they'd take turns, with Winters doing most of the topping...
8. Do you have an OTP other than Winters/Nixon?	Lipton/Speirs!
9. Has the show made you into a WWII nerd?	No. I was one even before.
10. Have you watched other shows/movies just because BoB actors were in them? Did any of them make your soul bleed?	Well, I watched Boomtown for it and it was cool, but... Oh, and watched Dreamcatcher for Damian. That probably made my brains bleed...
11. Did BoB make you want to join the army, even for a moment?	No. It made me wanna rally against war.
12. How many people have you tried to convert to BoB fandom? (Any success?)	Hmmm... Two. And yes on one. :D
13. Which character do you most closely identify with?	Probably Lipton.
14. Whose leg would you most like to cling to?	Winters!
15. Who looks the best in his dress uniform?	Either Winters or Buck Compton.
16. Who's the least slashy? (Excluding Lt. Dike, Cobb, and officers ranking above Winters)	Excluding those? People will kill me, but... Of the 'main' guys? Liebgott.
17. Who would you want watching your back on a two-man mission?	Winters. Or Lipton.
18. Who was most unjustly deprived of a nude scene?	:) Nix. Preferably with Winters there too.
19. Are you waiting eagerly for the Untitled Pacific Theater Project?	Nope.
20. How do you feel about the fandom in general?	Weird, but I prefer watching to reading. It's also a fandom I don't follow all the time, but never tire of.
Bonus section! Write whatever comes to mind.
Dick Winters:	A leader I could respect. Hot!
Lewis Nixon:	Needs a hug. The first 'still drinking' alcoholic character I have ever loved.
Harry Welsh:	Cheers to him and Kitty!
Buck Compton:	Also needs a hug.
Ronald Speirs:	So damn cool in a scary way.
Carwood Lipton:	Mommy!
Bill Guarnere:	I really like his teeth!
Bull Randleman:	Confused me with his seanastinness. My mom loves him.
Johnny Martin:	Was way too happy to see Bull alive...
Joe Liebgott:	Just pisses me off!
George Luz:	Every company needs someone like him. :D
Don Malarkey:	Took me ages to identify him in the eps.
Skip Muck:	Whatever.
Eugene Roe:	Realistic guy.
Babe Heffron:	Yo, Babe! Wasn't his name Edward?
David Kenyon Webster:	Don't wonder why they wanna slash him with Liebgott. I don't like this guy either.
Frank Perconte:	Woulda probably treated O'Malley (yeah, yeah O'Keefe) the same way...
Joe Toye:	Almost broke my heart to her him scream...
Floyd Talbert:	Whatever.
Shifty Powers:	Had a freaky grin! Shifty!
Anybody else:	Can I say I still think Sobel was an excellent drill sergeant, even though he was a crappy leader? Yes, I can!
"Currahee":	Sobel so wants Winters! Nix so wants Winters. Winters is so blind!
"Day of Days":	Really wanted to slap Guarnere here. Sir Nix on his trusted manly tank to the rescue!
"Carentan":	Eeek! Lipton shot! Love that scene!
"Replacements":	"Don't look at me like that!"
"Crossroads":	The rent boy in the tube and then nekkid Winterness.
"Bastogne":	Gods, it must be so freaking cold there!
"The Breaking Point":	Winters running to save the day and then ordering Speirs to do it was my fav scene. Also, the Lip/Speirs was all cute in this one! Die, Dyke, die!
"The Last Patrol":	Wouldn't they court marshal the real Winters for writing a bogus report?
"Why We Fight":	Makes me cry. Every time. The way Nix almost self destructs here is heartbreaking too!
"Points":	Nixon: "I'm pretending to ask you to work for me, but Dick, will you marry me?"
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Now I kinda want to watch Band of Brothers again. Good grief! Am such a hor!

Have done lotsa scribbling today. Was supposed to write something cute or romantic, and everything came out angsty. Gods, I hate when that happens. But every time I get inspired by da fic, I'm cool. I just want to finish it so I can write something else rest for a while.

Also, they showed Titanic on tv, and as I surfed the channels, I caught the scenes with Ioan Gruffudd in them. Whoa! He looked way older than in Hornblower! Also, loved his accent!

Will go and try to write some more. I need someone to crack a whip and force me to write! Gah! I would be a good slave [rushes to wear restraints]

I haven't even taken the survey yet, and I already I want to watch BoB again. I'm hopeless!!

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

And what did I do today? Watched Currahee, Day of Days and the first half of Carentan....:D

[Hi Yo Silver!]

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

Oh, you did what I wanted to do! I'm just worried that if I start watching BoB again, I won't be able to stop until I've watched it to the end. And I do have things I need to do this week ... *pouts*

Why isn't it October yet when we could sit on your couch and watch it together?!

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems it's impossible to just watch a few episodes. I always start with Currahee and am so surprised a few days later when Winters and Nix marry and go see the parents they all get to go home.

It will be October soon! Yes, it will! And am really glad next Saturday will be here soon too! :X

[mace-m.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness for Saturday! But maybe in the next slashmeet we can find some time and watch BoB again. I know it's not for everyone, but I so miss seeing it with fangirl. Sighing alone about the Winters/Nixon love just ain't the same!

*hugs*
