I'm actually not feeling at all invigorated byt the thought of Gishing, but as some of the team registered and were keen I've gone and done it and set up the team. Elisa probably won't captain us which means it will probably end up being bossy old me, but hey ho, I have to tell myself it's for a good cause.
I don't know what it is about SPN at the moment - I'm not that into the show itself, but I can't stop writing and arting and reading all the fics. So fandom is actually keeping it alive for me. That plus the conventions this year have been so freaking brilliant.
It IS for a good cause and I really like the nature of many of the challenges. It's also great fun - so enjoy!
I'm all over the place with the show at the moment. The last 4 eps have left me so disconnected that I have to remind myself what it is I fell in love with. A friend of mine just started watching it and was so excited telling me how much she loved it -it was great remembering what it felt like in the beginning. :)
I feel sad that I have no desire to do anything fandom wise. I haven't been on LJ for a while - let alone open my vidding program. I actually feel like it might all be ending for me. And that's making me sad because it's been such a major part of my life for so long - I'll have to re-learn how to live without fandom. And I know that will be hard.
I really really hope it turns around for you, because when SPN-love is strong it is brilliant. However I do understand. I've barely paid attention this whole season. :( And it was due to "fandom". I just got fed up with the bickering. Plus the cons have gotten so big and so all the time, that the sense of community was vastly diluted for me.
I go from being sad, to slightly pissed about it, to enjoying the "newbie's" who have just found the show, to being sad. :/ I feel like an old fart saying that I miss the old days. ;)
Yours has been the only fandom related LJ I still actively read (even if I haven't commented.)
I still love the Js and the cast/crew (barring a few exceptions). And I will be fans of the Js forever. But oh, for the old days. ;)
I agree! I love it when I love it! And S12 might just hook me again. I think I'm just a bit burnt out - or something. The last 4 eps really left me flat, but a break and a new season might just get me interested again.
I love the Js too. I still take a peek and see what they are up too. But yeah, SO many cons. It's impossible to keep up with them.
I'm sorry spn isn't a happy place for you anymore, but no need to leave fandom...
I kind of feel like that friend that when you tell them you and your significant other are on a break, wants to introduce you to their cousin with a fantastic personality...but I'd love to show you Hannibal some time. Hannibal is a brilliant show and a great fandom :)
I LOVE Hannibal! Absolutely devoured (hee) the first 2 seasons. I actually love a heap of shows - I'm just not fannish about them. Well, not in the way I'm completely obsessed about SPN. I've just watched a show called London Spy. Absolutely AMAZING!
I"m afraid I abandoned London Spy after a few eps when I realised the spy lover was really the body in the suitcase and there would be no happy ending. Too angsty for me. Glad it was good though.
PS don't suppose you feel like Gishing this year?

(but I'm hoping to regain some levity soon and be able to read codas etc soon -ish).
And no. No Gishing for me this year. I have no idea how you guys stay invigorated! But good luck! I'll be cheerleading for you all. <3

I'll second amber's rec of the ameliacareful fic, if and when you get to the place you can read it.

I'll definitely take a look at that fic. :)
