Out of curiosity...

A meme I thought up, out of boredom... (Fire Emblem-centric, 'cause I'm that much of a fangirl. ;)P Just post your answers in the comments... Please?

1. Where did your username come from? Does it mean anything specific? (If your username is your real life name, you can disregard this question. XD)

2. When did you get into the Fire Emblem fandom?

3. What inspired you to start writing/drawing/whatever for FE fandom?


My username is inspired from my first major fandom, TaleSpin. (If you both remember AND like that cartoon, I will love you forever. ^_~) It's the pseudonym I assumed when I first got onto the 'Net, though I generally just go by Avi these days... Obviously, an aviatrix is a female pilot. (Oh, and 8 is my favourite number.)

I first got into the Fire Emblem fandom... Wow, it must've been sometime in December. 0_o I joined the GameFAQs FE message board at the time (when it was still worth going to, way before the board split ruined it XP). I started writing for Fire Emblem when someone on the board expressed a desire to see a Sain/Lucius support, so I obliged; that in turn inspired a few more fake supports from me, a couple of other stories, and some mediocre art, as well.

I fell out of the fandom unwillingly sometime in March, when I lost my 'Net connection due to moving... When I finally got it back in mid-July, I discovered the new message board for FESS, and realized my love for Fire Emblem hadn't waned a bit. ^_~ So I started writing for FE again, and even started this LJ because of it.


Hope I didn't bore you all to tears... I'll be interested to see what everyone else's replies are (assuming I get any at all ;)P.

My username comes from an injoke a group of friends and I had. We each had to pick anime "sound effects" or expressions we would be. A friend picked squik (the sound of a marker writing), another friend picked *blinkblink*, a third picked Kittymouth (you know, how characters get kitty-like mouths when they're smug), and I picked Dot-dot-dot. We goofed around with our named and I ended up with Empress Dotdotdot, Dots for short. There you go.

2. When did you get into the Fire Emblem fandom?

Late April of this year. Fire Emblem was a birthday gift, and I liked it from the start.

3. What inspired you to start writing/drawing/whatever for FE fandom?

The first thing that inspired me were the Kent/Lyn supports, because I am an absolute SUCKER for lines like "Let me stay by your side" or "let me protect you" or anything like that. I wrote a piece (The Duty of a Knight) before I was even to Valor game-wise, had Vyctori canon-check it, and posted it.

What I think REALLY suckered me in, however, was the infamous incident in Chapter 18. I watched Matthew's reaction and thought "He has a sad/serious face. I've seen it when I've accidentally killed him. So why is he smiling?!" "Smile" followed and I was suckered in for good.

Hey, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's a sucker for the "loyal protector" dynamic. ^_~ And for some reason, I always got the impression that Vyctori dragged you into FE fandom (er, no offense, Vyctori! ^_^;).

BTW, I love "Smile"; I have it listed as one of my favourites on FF.net. ^_~
