41. You hate the LotR movies, but adore the books. You own and read Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Children of Húrin, and you downloaded HoME.

42. You know what "HoME" means.

43. When you've first read the Turin Turambar story, you screamed "KULLERVO" even before knowing it was its base.

44. Which means, you've read and love Kalevala.

45. You've read Vidocq's autobiography just because he was the base of Valjean and Javert.

46. You've read Pére Goriot, Lost Illusions, and A Harlot High And Low just because Vautrin was based on Vidocq.

47. You are reading now the whole Comédie Humaine, just because it's THAT badass.

You're working on a 19th century fantasy which contains numerous suspiciously slashy or awkward pairings: a highwayman-turned-into-paladin and an inquisitor, a half-fairy warrior and an assassin, a crazy bandit and a (not so virginal) priestess. It also includes an inspired-by-Mozart Dark Queen who wants to rule the world with undeads. And there will be revolution, because all 19th century stories need a revolution. It also has a fairy King who looks like Khan and is competely gay.

66. You've looked at any of the following: H.P. Lovecraft; Dickie Loeb (as in, Leopold And); Neil Gaiman; Blixa Bargeld; Oscar Wilde; suicidal French poets; Alexander the Great; certain war poets of World War One: and found yourself thinking, "Oh, shit! He's cute!"

67. Anachronistic profanity. (That said-- SWIVEFRIGQUIMARSE!)

68. You find your life troubles make best sense when described with elaborate literary analogies.

69. You legitimately enjoyed Crime and Punishment.

95. You added to your summer plans, and now you want to recruit people with you to break the law by walking around Kentucky with ice cream in your back pocket, and then gather enough of your friends to sing "One Day More" in bathing suits in a public place in Florida (also against the law).

136. You're a RHPS fanatic.

137. You're not old enough to see RHPS in theaters, though, so, alas, still a Virgin.

138. You have a strange fangirl fixation on at least one convicted criminal. (Again, bonus points if this criminal is a murderer. More still if they murdered for fun. Infinite points-- or perhaps simply +1794 points-- if said criminal was a member of the Committee of Public Safety.)

201. You saw all of the Star Trek movies before you were old enough to know what Star Trek was, and have a deep abiding love of them because they take you back to your childhood.

202. You know exactly which of your favorite actors have all played Klingons. (And that Christopher Lloyd was the best Klingon.)

203. You can't stand Spock and Kirk being hot in the new movie, because they are so deeply tied to your childhood that it feels conflicting. Sulu and Chekov, however, may have been your first crushes.

204. You know the Star Trek movies so well, that you can tell them to fellow (movie deprived) trekkies as if they were bedtime stories. In fact, you have.

205. Fanfiction is cheaper than porn. But when it comes down to it, you've seen enough startlingly well written fic that you'll defend it's merits.

229. You have moved beyond fixations on "mundane" accents, like posh Brit, or Scottish, or French, or Italian, and moved on to German accents, Russian accents, and so on. You see nothing wrong with this.
230. You've ever critiqued a published author on their spelling, fact-checking, or plots while reading the book in a public place.

234. You've ever used a hobby-related term ("playby", "faceup", "godmodding", "roll for initiative") in a non-fandom situation and totally baffled someone.
235. You can't read books on the bus any more, because some idiot likes to plaster words like "EROTIC" and "GOTHIC" all over the back covers. Twits.
236. You've ever read a tawdry romance novel by accident, then kept reading because of the historical accuracy.
237. You've ever totally bullshitted knowledge of a fandom you've never seen or read due to your knowledge of it from TV Tropes.

243: You do #237 so often and naturally that you yourself can hardly keep your fandoms straight.

244: You are fixated on certain countries not because of the culture, but because you love their characterization in APH.

245: You read APH at all, know what it is, or participate in the fandom (but especially if your favorite country has appeared less than Prussia).

246: Some of your favorite manga, american graphic novels, and webcomics were found via TV Tropes.

247: You buy books of old folklore, to see how the country-specific story archetypes play out in the early regional tales of each regions mythology.

248: Most people played with toys, but yours had a complex 'Verse, complete with maps, political systems, heros and oracles for each generation and competing countries who engaged in both trade and war. Before you graduated from elementary school.

249: You've been the resident dragon expert since you were able to read. Mythology books come to /you/, because everyone knows about your freakish obsession.

250: In Jr. High you studied the history of psychology/professional philosophy/esoteric and 'useless' fields, because class was boring.

251: The coolest thing you can think of has been a DRAGON with TATTOOS since about third grade.

252: Your first fandom was CATS.
