Stupid things you've done for fandom?

[sakura-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Has Code Geass gotten you to do anything outrageous?
I'm curious.

I think I set a personal record last night for not only staying up until 1AM for the /a/ live reaction threads, but then continuing to stay up until 3 to randomly write Schneizel x Kanon flash smut fic for /a/.
...and then I kinda went to sleep dreaming of more smut and woke up and wrote two more stories.
...
...


...what am I doing with my life, Code Geass?

Hmm.
Well, I already screamed 'Code Geass' non stop when I saw a Lulu cosplay on a con. And I normally overly fangirl when I see Geass' products 8D; In the first con I went after watching Geass I almost screamed when I saw some products, but I stopped myself.

Also, I woke up early every Sunday, even if I slept late on Saturday 8D;;

[kaorutsukiko.livejournal.com]

*wake, my grammar fails.
But I will soon stop to do that unfortunately ;o;

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i've stop all work at 4:30pm JST every sunday to post raws.
that i don't watch.

i think that's outrageous enough XD

the fact that i adjusted my schedule when i flew to uni (8 hours difference) so that i could still post raws is even worse OTZ

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

that's bordering on insanity. :)

I've gotten to the point that I can turn any conversation into something about Geass. It could be a friend of mine telling me about something in her class that day, and I can pull in a geass comparison.

I also spazz when I see merch, my half of my dorm room is plastered with Code Geass stuff, and I even made a Lulu Plush doll. :D And I procrastinate by putting Figma Lulu in silly poses...

[prototypical]

Can I have that icon?

Having my Samurai Voodoo Doll (http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/1658/porooppurobl2.jpg) watch over the pile of my happyending!drawings in a sort of protection charm to keep charas alive sound stupid enough...? XD
It worked, though.

Every Sunday morning (especially when Horrible RAW didn't release any RAWs yet) I spent my whole time from 10.30 a.m. (that should be 17.30 p.m. in Japan, so... when the CG R2 episode ends)up to maybe 12 a.m. (German time) refreshing the tokyotosho- and nyaa-torrents-site. I sat there, clicking the refresh-button every 2 seconds in order to grab the RAW as soon as possible. And I did this for like 2 hours until the RAW actually popped up.

Nowadays, the RAW pops up quite fast so I just have to clikc the refresh button for 20 minutes. XD

[funny08.livejournal.com]

omg I do the same thing lol like this morning except they were later than usual so i was freaking out XD

[rusalkai.livejournal.com]

I've done pretty many stupid things for different fandoms, but not for the Code Geass I think?

[misuteru.livejournal.com]

haha I stay up for all the live reaction threads too, thats about the craziest though

and thank you for the smut |D;

[cosmicbiscuit.livejournal.com]

TV Tropes editing. I only do it for like, three fandoms, CG being one of them.

[gatekeepers-21.livejournal.com]

I've done a lot of crazy things for Code Geass, but nothing really big comes to my mind xD

I USE to stay up until 5am to download the raw, watch the raw, then get the .ass files from GG, watch the raw w/ ass files, and then I'd get the ACTUAL file with the .ass encoded in already (how's that different from having raw w/ ass? Well sometimes timing is off.) In total, watching the episode 3 times.

CG is also the only fandom that resorted me to Concealed Cash purchases of it's merchandise xD...

[schwindelmagier.livejournal.com]

Whoah, I used to do the same thing. XD
But now, I just donwload the Horribe RAW, watch it one or two times and then wait for Eclipse's sub to come out and watch their subbed version one or two times! :D

[fictitiousbox.livejournal.com]

Fics or it didn't happen.

[sakura-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Sure. I just saw them getting copypasta'd on /a/ this morning.

Screencaps coming as well.

[strike-x-slash.livejournal.com]

I spent about 50 bucks on an issue of Newtype with CG on the cover and Code Geass The Complete from the land of nip, and I haven't touched them since I bought them.

And 50 bucks is a lot of money for me, considering I don't get allowance or lunch money (lol high school), and I don't have a job. The only money I get is about 400 dollars from lunar new year and my birthday together each year... ;_;

So yeah, I did a really stupid thing for Geass. ._.;;;

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

...i've got nearly every single newtype/animedia/animage issue that has something about code geass in them.

i need a life OTZ

[ratsandwich.livejournal.com]

TV Tropes editing, making stupid crappy mini-AMVs, pouring over all the Geass AMVs on Youtube every 3 days to look for ones that are actually -good- (which is really really rare... >>), looking for merchandise at Metrocon this year and turned up only seeing a doujin (Suzaku/Gino, I think. Someone bought it before I could check it out), some keychains, and two posters (both of which are now in my room); not to mention cheering at the two CCs (and subsequently yelling 'Hey, Pizza Butt!' at one, who was complaining about the lack of pizza at the con) and Zero I saw there. Also saw a Suzaku and Lelouch in their 'casual' getups, and felt really silly for not recognizing the Lelouch because it was the white suit-looking outfit in one of the first episodes of R2, but they were pleased we hadn't gotten into Geass from [as]. Man I'm going off-topic here.
I'm also trying to learn how to draw humans solely for the sake of doing fanart for this damn show. I also will laugh at anything, anything at all, that I can parallel to the show, and also have been imagining tons of characters from books as Geass characters (especially Dune and A Song of Ice and Fire. Lelouch is my Paul and Jon Snow, respectively; assorted other characters are all over the place in those series as well).

Uh, I suppose spending $250 this month buying suzalulu doujinshi on ebay, even though it's September and I had about $500 worth of textbooks to buy and haven't gotten a paycheck since ... last May. I should probably be putting that money toward Japanese lessons

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

I shrieked when I saw the ALL HAIL LELOUCH ♥ ...despite knowing it would happen from the spoilerz :p

And here in Singapore, I usually stay up late up to 3-4 am just to watch the subs -__- shit, I'm obsessed and I'm sacrificing precious sleep and I have 8:30 classes on Mondays

And I check the blog sites/lj comms/relevant sites for Geass updates very regularly. And I blow my mind up by thinking of possible scenarios that will happen (and writing ficlets about them). And I'm obsessed and proud of it! OTL

[schwindelmagier.livejournal.com]

I can second the latter. Thinking about possible scenarios is a good daydreaming-occupation. ^^

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

w- It was 4am where I live when it aired.

I basically did the same, except minus the writing.

And I should really be doing more important things right now but Code Geass totally trashes my Sundays with its infinite entertainment. ;A;

[starryburst.livejournal.com]

AMV's, fics, fanart, I do it ALLLLLL.

If anyone speaks of Geass around me, I AM SO OBNOXIOUSLY ALL OVER THAT FUCKING CONVERSATION.

...And if someone dares to ask even the simplest question about Rolo... fuck, I ramble/scream for HOURS.

And that is why I am the biggest fag of all.

[eggy-egg.livejournal.com]

O_O MY NOSE ACTUALLY BLED WHILE I WAS FANGIRLING OVER LULU.

Oh yeah, and it's the first anime I've watched in ages that made me totally obsessed over (i.e. staying up late to watch episodes and squeeing loudly that the family almost wakes up, drawing Lulu in random cosplays Hawaiian hula girl, complete with coconut bra, but that last part isn't that extreme...

[ratsandwich.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, almost forgot this one; who else goes ou of their way to order Pizza Hut instead of Dominoes now?

[chinatsunekoi.livejournal.com]

Each time I see a pizza sign (of any sort) I shout "LONG LIVE CHEESE-KUN!!!" (My dad then asked me "What the heck is a cheese-kon??) =D my friends and cousin do the same (But have no idea why but say it fun)

[isuzuchan44.livejournal.com]

Buying yaoi for more than it's worth.

That's about it. I'm lame.

[hopechan.livejournal.com]

300,000 WORDS OF FANFICTION, BABY.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 257,045 words
You.

You are a trooper.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

Nothing, really, besides devoting way too many brain cycles to this show. And using $120 of food money on figmas. orz

AHAHAHAHAHA >____>

-When I went to Japan, I bought all the artbooks/episode guidebooks, Knight/Queen anthologies, a crapload of doujinshi, and am more than willing to get the 2GB Lancelot USB for $70.

-Lurking on every single spoiler forum I can find. I've been doing this since the beginning of R1. I still remember Fake Okouchi and Pubes! And Celiss Galvea of GameFaqs OT translating things for us!

-Hunting down every new scan online when Newtype, Animage, etc, release in Japan.

-Staying up on Saturdays to be online while the episode airs in Japan, switching between FIVE different forums (not including the 2chan board itself) every five seconds or so to know what the hell was going on.

-Watching Gamefaqs OT explode on 'Geass Day' after watching the episode myself, occasionally with popcorn.

-I even started to seriously plan out a doujinshi sequel to Code Geass (I've got all my character designs, plot outline, everything), which may or may not be shot to pieces, depending on how the last episode ends.

I'll miss you Code Geass spoiler parties. You made Saturday nights/Sundays enjoyable ;A;

[chunky-bunny.livejournal.com]

I stayed up all night (and by all night, I mean, staying up until six am, go to bed and wake up an hour or two later) during the first 10 episodes of geass, only to GET my subs.

and mom didn't know about that too 8D

[mei-yi.livejournal.com]

That was you writing those epic pieces of win? Which one were you? (I counted 3 - the first guy, the person who entered in the middle of the first guy's run and confused him a bit, and the epic, epic hat fic.)

[sakura-no-miko.livejournal.com]

I was the first guy.
..."guy," LOL.

EPic hat fic was epic indeed, but alas, that wasn't me.

[xedosarthea.livejournal.com]

Code Geass:
-- the reason why I bugged my parents to get me another hard disc for my computer, so I can download moar subs. 8D;;
-- the reason why my view on Pizza Hut is different now
-- the reason why I always smile when I see something orange
-- the reason why I got obsessed with the color green, again (this is more on Gino but he's still from Code Geass soooo D8)
