Thursday Thirteen #41 -- True fans
Last week, I listed stereotypes of ShapeShifter fans. Many of you identified in one way or another with the list; it's pretty universal.
This week, it gets more challenging. Are you a true fan if you don't fit any of these thirteen things? Absolutely.
Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged!

| 1. They are surprisingly different -- from the stereotypes and from each other. 2. A number of them are intelligent and/or highly successful in careers you might not expect right off the bat. 3. Many of them listen to a large variety of music -- not only hard rock, metal, or whatever you'd like to call it this week. 4. The die-hards are as devoted to ShapeShifter as a pit bull is to its master. 5. Many of them feel that they don't fit in anywhere but here. 6. Many of them come from abusive or otherwise hurt backgrounds. 7. Not all the girls come around because the ShapeShifter guys are cute. Some of them are into the music, plain and simple. 8. They're not defined by their physical appearance (refer to last week's list to see what I mean). 9. Many of them draw their inner strength from the music. The tales of how and when they did this make for frequent backstage appearance stories. 10. Many of them feel that Mitchell's lyrics were written just for them. They wonder how he got it so right. 11. Many will go into debt and/or bankrupt themselves in order to see ShapeShifter perform all over the world. What an excuse to travel! 12. Many of them feel instant affinities toward each other, as though they are fellow members of an otherwise secret club. Relationships are forged, weddings are celebrated all because of ShapeShifter. 13. Mitchell, Daniel, Trevor, and Eric are popular names for the children of ShapeShifter fans. Go figure. |

Another great list, Susan!
And you know what, I fit several of those criteria myself -- and yup, you betcha I'm a true ShapeShifter fan! :) Number 3 is huge for me in particular -- my musical tastes are all over the map.
Happy TT, my friend!

Happy T13!

Okay, I am weird, but I really do not know what is a shapeshifter. I am going to look it up right now!
Hey,

So I am off to google them as well.
Ours is up as well if you want to stop by. This weeks rendition is from L!

I guess this is about music? A band? I've never heard of ShapeShifter... There you have it. Have a great TT. :)
I find myself fitting into a lot of those categories for music I love. I'm thinking I'm probably a bit ShapeShifter fan then! But I've known that for a while now. :)
#11 - "Many will go into debt and/or bankrupt themselves in order to see ShapeShifter perform all over the world."
Hey - you only live once! At least in this current form and at the same time as Shapeshifter.

You definitely have the characters of the fans defined. I've seen pit bulls, though that weren't very devoted!

Hello: I'm back! Thanks for visiting me while I took a break to get my work/life balance sorted out . . .
I am definitely a shape-shifter . . . I can relate to numbers 1, 3, 5 and 8.
Looking forward to reading/learning more . . .
Hugs, XINE

Hey Susan, thanks for the Poetry Train suggestion. I found Rhian's site (although your link to her site is broken). At least the Poetry Train is a productive way for me to procrastinate. Haha.
Your ideas are always so clever, considering you're from West of Mars. I'm joking of course about the West of Mars but not your unique 13's.
My music tastes are all over the map as well. Admittedly, I've only read a couple of the shapeshifter books, but I liked them.

One of the benefits of T13 is finding out how many things are going on that I know nothing at all about and that other people feel passionate about. Pretty cool that people get so excited about a fictional band...it must be very intensely written.

...though in the real world I don't think I'd be that into a band that did Broadway. I'm sort of a Pearl Jam/Shins sort of person myself. :)
Interesting idea---to envision this so clearly.

i am such a bundle of contradictions. Last week i went down the list and said uh-huh, uh-huh, check, yet, maybe, etc.
This week SAME thing. Except for that whole not being into the cute guys thing - forget it - i'm a total Trevor 'Ho now. Your fault.

I am not doing my own TT list this week, but I thought I could at least do the rounds again.
Love your list, as always. ;o)
Funnily enough, these descriptions seem to fit to pretty much any fandom I know of. It certainly describes the only one I would count myself belonging to, which is obviously the Browncoats (a.k.a. Firefly-fans).

I may be a dork, but don't know about shapeshifter. I will learn something new today. That's the beauty of T13!
have a great day!
Kristee :)

I fit several of those especially #3 cause I like lots of music. Would I go into to debt or go bankrupt to follow a band around the world. No I wouldn't, but still I fit into some of those.
Great TT.

Grrrr… Blogger must have eaten the comment I left last night (It was kinda being wonky, but sometimes it will still slip through). Anyway… Yep, I can relate to quite a few of these, so I guess that makes me a true fan too. :-)
You are going to laugh - I thought you meant the magical variety!!! I've never heard of them and will keep an ear out from now on. What a hoot.
Sounds like a bunch of cool people to me!
Hey, Susan, you're a winner! Drop me a line and tell me what format you want.

Are they anything like Indigo Children?
I used to be a shape shifter, but then I got stuck.

Great fan profiles this week and last! Wishing you much luck on getting a book deal! :) Thanks for stopping by my place, and Happy TTing!
as someone who loves Beethoven, Enya, Leonard Skinard, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Mozart, Natalie Merchant, REM, Queen, Angelo Badalamenti, Bach, and Lucinda Williams what are the chances I'd be a Shapeshifter fan?
