Sounds good to me. I had been a regular poster a while back, and I don't know exactly what happened that I stopped posting. I've stayed in touch with several of the people on a personal level, and when we get together we may talk QAF; but as I said, I think the problem was that I was entering after the first wave of fans, so it seemed as though the party was well underway. It drove me crazy looking back at boards, because I would have liked to respond, but at that point, it didn't seem worth it.
I did hook up with a few groups when Randy or Gale were doing plays, but that was mostly discussing stalking techniques:)
I would be interested in finding links to download or read as much of the fiction as possible, because there were some stories I would have liked to copy before BJfic.net went down.
I am still attached to the show, because it has a lot of good connections for me. I have had fun with meeting fans, and the show had a personal connotation for me that will always have fond memories. When I first saw the show; I was appalled at the Brian/Justin thing, because of the age difference. I didn't have problems with the m/m, but I was horrified at Justin's age and appearance. Randy looked about 12; and I had a little blonde 12 year old too at the time, and I was growling over that happening with my son.
I think it was the prom that melted me, and over time, I reconciled the age thing. By season 3, I remember thinking it was strange that for me, the hottest couple on tv were two men.
At some point, I even said that if my son took up with someone who looked and kissed like Brian Kinney, then not only wouldn't I have him arrested, I would probably pay him a stipend to stay around.
You know, my son has never listened to a damned word I said, but that he picked up on. So when he was 16, and he wanted to date a guy who was 23, he had the line, "well, you said...."
For the record, Chris did no look nor kiss like Brian, so I didn't have to pay the stipend; it's more like a consulting fee in the form of taking him to shows. My son and Chris aren't together any more, but we still see one another. Chris is usually my reporter when Randy is going to be in a show--Chris is the muse of all things Broadway.
So, I still have warm fuzzies and don't want to let go. Being seen as "the cool mom who thinks gay porn is hot," has given me a wonderful reputation, and allows people to overlook the fact that half the time, I would forget to comb my hair.
So, I'll look up QAF rewind, and if you have any random discussion points that occur to you, then mention them.
