poll time!

[fox]

I bow to the wishes of thefourthvine.  We are our own survey subjects! and we're to get back to her with data.  So do please take the following poll, won't you?

[eta:  in which the question means "what fannish archetype am I, that is, Fox?"  Or, "what fannish archetype is Fox?"  You're answering the question about me, not about your own selves.]

[Poll #831726]

Thankyew!

And thank ewe! (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. It's just - see, the subject of the poll is animals, and - oh, wait, I'm explaining my jokes again. Oopsie.)

After much deliberation, I have decided that I am a magpie-turtle cross with strong human tendencies. I'm serially monogamous with a One True Fandom (that changes every few years or so - hence the turtleness), and by "monogamous" I totally mean "has flings with shiny new fandoms every month or so, but only for a weekend/until I've binge-read most of the good fic in a small fandom, but only with the blessing of my primary fandom" (hence the magpieitude).

So, like, I'm a Disney character. An anthropomorphic turtle with wings who walks very slowly but flies very quickly. (Hey, I think I saw that movie...)

And now I have officially thought about this Too Much.

No, no -- apparently I wasn't clear. What sort of critter do you think I am. [goes to take away the vocative 'Fox']

Reeding iz hard. Words meaning things, and all. And, alas, I fear I have not known you long enough to make an adequate judgement. As I cannot undo the act of casting a vote, do you have any preference as to which direction I skew your poll?

(Can I hear it for unintentionally appropriate icons?)

Hee. Nah, that might influence other people's answers. We can tell TFV to consider you an outlier.

I picked chimera. Part camel. Part gorilla.

Or, hey, I'll leave my vote as it is and speculate that you are a winged camel with long arms and thumbs, based on your current poll results. You have one true fandom - your home base as you go wandering in the Desert Of No Fandom (not unlike the Horse With No Name) - but you occasionally flit by other fandoms as you make regular treks to 3-6 other fandoms.

Now I'm picturing a winged camel with really long arms that uses tools. It's a wee bit disturbing.

(Again, my apologies! This is what I get for hitting ye olde friendslist after a very, very long day without some sort of brain-finger filter.)

You laugh, but the only thing is I didn't say the turtle village was in the desert (http://thefourthvine.livejournal.com/62823.html?thread=2266983#t2266983).
