June Something, questions 1-4

[flo_nelja]

malurette told me that you didn't have to start on the first of June! You just have to answer all the questions in June! So I can answer them today, and I'm not late :-D

Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?

* My main fandom for this year, The Magnus Archives, had its last episode.
* After a hiatus of about 15 years, my sister started writing fanfic and drawing fanart again! She invited me in her fandoms, I especially loved Haikyuu!!, the shônen manga about volleyball. Also I'm her beta! And I teach her how to tag on AO3!
* And of course I discovered new fandoms. I finished 7 Seeds and it was really good, and I'm enjoying The Locked Tomb Trilogy.


Day 2: You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them? Bonus question: What about adding a third to your OTP from a different fandom? Who and why?

There is now a meme of this! here!
But if it's the first OTP I'm thinking about, hmmm
* The Magnus Archives, Jon/Martin. I'd add Elias for the awfulness.
* Gravity Falls, Bill/Ford. I'd add Dipper, not for the awfulness, it' already here, for extra awfulness
* Haikyuu!!, Kuroo/Kenma. I love Kuroo/Kenma/Hinata more than I should.
* Gideon the Ninth, Gideon/Harrow. Gideon will hate me if I add Ianthe, so maybe Alecto? I'll see after book three :-D


Day 3: What's a favorite, or at least memorable fandom meeting/interaction that you've had?

I remember a few years ago, I had a new colleague, who was a manga fan. I was happy. We had planned to see each other at an anime convention, and here I find her... at the same fanzine stand as a long-time Internet friend.

Cue three-way surprise "you two know each other?"

It was very fun.


Day 4: What are the origins of your penname/username?

Nelja means "four" in Finnish. It's the name of one of the geese in Nils Holgersson, one of my favourite childhood books, and I love how it sounds. So I gave the name to a character (a geeky fairy) who was meant to be a one-time NPC in a tabletop RPG session. The PCs loved her, so she bacame recurrent. I got attached to her and used her as a penname.

The Magnus Archives, Jon/Martin. I'd add Elias for the awfulness.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

Re: your username, oh cool! I was wondering. :D

[flo_nelja]

Ha ha sorry. I'm evil. It's a Beholding thing (for the characters, not for me)

Was the Finnish signification the first one you saw? Because yeah, it's weird. It's all Selma Lagerlöf's fault.

[shipperslist]

Well, I’m Finnish so I tend to do a double-take when I see Finnish on an English platform. 😁

[shadowhive]

Yay for The Magnus archives and I so see Elias being with them 😏

That it a funny moment!

And that’s interesting about your name!

[flo_nelja]

Ha ha, I only wrote Elias/Jon/Martin as smut, not as a real relationship, I don't know if I could. but it has potential!

[shadowhive]

Oh yeah I definitely couldn’t see Elias holding a proper relationship but it’d be interesting!

[malurette]

Neat!
(You don't even have to do ALL the questions, if one doesn't suit you, just skip it?)

[flo_nelja]

Je pense que je vais répondre à toutes du mieux que je peux, même s'il y en a où je vais à moitié éluder la question :-D

(j'ai passé huit heures à surveiller des exams hier ! Moi, et une liste de questions !)

My original username, Neva, was also taken from a work of fiction via an OC! I mashed it up with my given name to get “Nevanna.”

[flo_nelja]

Oh, nice! Can I know which one?
