Bucco Babe here! The username is a tribute to my longstanding affection for the
Pittsburgh Pirates, who are the love of my girlhood and a onetime championship baseball team (really!). The way they've played over the last nineteen years, I figured I wouldn't have any competition for this handle, and I was right. At the rate they're going, it won't be an issue for some time to come, either. :::sigh!:::
I've signed on to the
FoRKS page. Seems to me the trope names on this site have gotten a little boring lately. (Can't believe they changed
The Wesley!)
[Some months later] Oh, for Pete's sake — no more FoRKS page?!? Well, whether there's a page for it or not, this Troper will always be a Friend of Really Kool Sobriquets!
Tropes That Apply to Bucco Babe:
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!
- Blind Without 'Em
- Bookworm
- Brainy Brunette
- Deadpan Snarker
- Grammar Nazi
- Happily Married (a former Christmas Cake who found her Cake Eater)
- Mama Bear
- Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls. I'm about as "shippy" as the main entry for that trope implies, too. Some of my favored pairings include Picard/Crusher, Janeway/Chakotay, Chakotay/Paris — oh, heck, Chakotay and just about anybody. Series-era Robert Beltran is hot!
- Otaku, in the generic sense of "fangirl." My focus has varied over the years. Originally I was an otaku of Pirates baseball, later of X-Men, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, and other properties.
- Proud to Be a Geek
- Smart People Wear Glasses
- Team Mom
- Trekkie. And how! Since the 1970s.
