Poll: Tell Me What You Read and I Will Tell You Who You Are

[thefourthvine]

I'd like to know more about y'all, and I'd like to play with my new paid user status. I blended these two yens, and voila! An excessively long, dull poll. I'll be delighted if you complete it, but don't feel, you know, obligated or anything. Next entry, I'll return to my usual fan fiction fangirlishness.

You are wonderful. Your comments made me laugh and feel flattered at the same time, and what can be better than that?

But, um, don't hold your breath on the M*A*S*H stories, 'cause I barely know what M*A*S*H is or was (something to do with Vietnam?), and I can only remember seeing, like, two in my entire browsing career.

Technically it's Korea, but because it was made during the Vietnam period it's basically a thinly-disguised Vietnam posing as Korea, if you know what I mean.

Basically you get a bunch of wacky characters, throw them into a field hospital in the middle of a war, and make a surprisingly bitter-sweet show about their lives. One minute you're laughing yourself silly at cross-dressing soldiers or something, and the next you're crying because war is hell. It's also about the bonds that form between men under those conditions, and the friendship between Hawkeye and Trapper, for instance, is both deeply platonic AND immensely slashable. They get drunk together, they slow-dance, they... well, you just have to watch it. It repeats endlessly on TV, you shouldn't have any trouble doing so without actually paying money for it.
