WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
Jul. 14th, 2008 01:27 pmSo the most HILARIOUS thing ever happened to me Friday night. It's 12:30 am. Just clocked out of work, and I'm walking to my car and I see Scott talking to the two sisters, Melissa and Erika, by their cars. I wander over and discover that they are talking about just how much ass work sucks. That is always a topic for much discussion, so I join in.
After a few minutes of general bitching, we start talking about the various methods we use to keep sane in long boring shifts. I mention reading LJ on my phone and then the sisters chime in that they read fanfic on the phones.
Cue loud, excited squealing.
I find out that they're in anime fandom. We have a hilarious few minutes explaining fandom and slash to Scott. I tell them about Supernatural and that I'm totally a slasher and that my OTP is Sam/Dean. They mention that they've dabbled in RPS, and I tell them how I'm being sucked into bandom.
Then they mention that their main ship is incest too. SERIOUSLY HOW AWESOME IS THAT? Not only do I find that I sit near two fandom people at work, but they're slashers AND they're pro-cestfic!
They write fic and do art which I am hella impressed with. I wish I could draw! I told them I do vids, and they thought that was pretty cool and wanted me to show them how.
The girls say that they thought I was in fandom because they heard me on the phone with
duia and I said "OTP" or something, so they were debating on if they should ask me if I was in fandom.
The whole time Scott is just standing there laughing and shaking his head in amusement at the three girls squealing and flailing over gay porn. And now whenever he sees any of us playing with our phones, he'll know EXACTLY what we're reading.
