I'm at some stage between regular and lurker, having seen the early days of FGP and participated in them, but with much less involvement than the gods of the whole project. My three-to-four year absence didn't help much. Still, I'm always here, waiting...
I’ve been a fan of the series since the summer of 2002. I tend to gravitate towards...no, fixate on, character analysis, dissecting motivations and drives without relying on any particular psychological theory but just viewing it in terms of what happens in the series. This preference likely comes from my English lit background.
As a consequence, my knowledge of/interest in the true mysteries of NGE, and the theories surrounding them, remain lacking. I don't follow any big misconceptions, but rather just absorb what the bigger people on the FGP are discussing in a, "Yeah, let's go with that" fashion, then get back to doing what I like. Sometimes understanding the true mysteries is necessary for character analysis, but I manage to limp along somehow.
Because of this interest in characterization, I might be one of the few people able to work up a burning enthusiasm for EoTV: though really, it's pretty bad as endings go, and I'm very thankful for EoE.
My favourite character is also Shinji Ikari, out of a writer’s appreciation for his affecting characterization, though that mutates into fangirlish tendencies sometimes. But don’t mistake me for the kind of fangirl who likes to treat him as an innocent victim: I come to praise Shinji and to bury him.
Outside this, I'm trying to scavenge a living on jobs that are ideally in some way related to the English language and on the side become a fantasy/sci-fi author.
I've been an animation fan all my life, and consider myself a generalist when it comes to the nationality involved. Unfortunately, my limited traveling options means I'm mostly stuck with North American and Japanese animation, but I can live with that for now. I have also, through no fault of my own, developed a minor obsession with pterosaurs. Some series/franchises of interest to me include Transformers (original and Beast Wars), Disney’s Gargoyles, Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, assorted Gundam, Hellsing, Pet Shop of Horrors, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Saint Seiya, Digimon Tamers, and Invader Zim.
