So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

Hmm, this was surprisingly difficult, both to find anywhere near 10 television fandoms and to limit myself to anything like 10 book fandoms! I ended up cheating with the books and listing some authors.

Television
1. Twin Peaks
2. ST:DS9
3. Angel
4. Yes, Minister
5. Blackadder
6. Blake's 7 -- this was my entry fandom at least in terms of online interactions but I'm pretty much out of it now
and way below...
7. Forbrydelsen S1
8. The Hour

Books
1. Jane Austen
2. Earthsea
3. JRR Tolkien
4. Diana Wynne Jones
5. Jane Eyre
6. Eagle of the Ninth series & other Sutcliff

10. LM Bujold Vorkosigan/Chalion series
and many, many more...

Yeah, I know, I condensed Tolkien, Larry Alexander and Agatha Christie, too.
Is there a meaning behind which ones are in italics on your list?

Supposedly titles should be italicised, while universes/characters are usually not; so Earthsea series vs Earthsea the universe. But mostly I was being lazy/inconsistent with everything except the obvious titles!
