Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Katie is fandom personified. She’s outgoing, enthusiatic, and uses her fangirlyness as a way to meet and connect with new people, and to bring joy to herself and others. She’s the girl who will tell OUAT plots as bedtime stories, make fandom gifts to hand out to fellow fans, and doesn’t care if anyone else understands her cosplay – it makes HER happy!
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
In the time I’ve known her, she has expressed her fandom in every way I can think of. Writing fanfic, cosplay, forums (where she encourages others in their cosplay), getting up at the crack of dawn during upfronts to take the bus into the city to go meet one of the actors from one of her shows, blogging, swooning loudly if Lana Parilla shows up on a screen.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
I’m going to go with her Doctor Who K-9 purse, because it is awesome (and I made it for her – I’m her roommate, btw), and she carries it everywhere. It is big enough to hold her stuff, my stuff, and usually one costume change.
Where can we follow her online?
