and now for something completely different
My fandom engagement lately has been reblogging Detective Conan stuff on tumblr and lurking in some Ace Attorney places. But what with AA6 being out in Japan, I've resolved to stay away from the AA crowd until the game is out because apparently something SHOCKING WORTHY OF CAPSLOCK happens (my theories: a) The title "Spirit of Justice" is literal or, or b) Rayfa is Apollo's dad).
The weirdest replacement seems to Elfquest, and - get this - on Facebook. Brought there by listening to this podcast, and good God:
I never before realised how much bullshit info I've unconciously remebered from Elfquest. The podcast hosts clearly see themselves as über-nerds on the EQ scale, yet half the time they're debating things that I myself did. Like the pressing question about how closely related Teir and Ember are anyway since nevermind Ember being second cousin to Teir's father, he is Two-Spear's grandson and yeah oh wait Ember would be descended from Skyfire, right. (also, wouldn't there be like five or six generations between that split anyway?)
Who would ever have thunk, but then again - this would mark the first time I'm ever more than briefly involved in a western fandom. It's also an old one, since most of the people still sticking around are people who were Elfquest readers in the eighties and nineties.
Yeah, it's... not fully surprising that the action is all on FB, huh.
