the fandom meme, stolen from tropes
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: Star Wars (And also Joss.)
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: LOTR
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: Poppy Z. Brite (The old Missing Mile stuff, really.)
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Six Feet Under (Love it to death. Unhealthy for me to watch it in large all-night blocks the way I did.)
The steady: Firefly
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: Superman (I have nothing against him, I know the mythology, I saw the new movie, and sometimes my beloved Bat visits him in comics. But I've never really had a thing.)
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: anime (I've loved a few things but it just will never be one of my fandoms.)
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Deadwood (To steal a phrase: I AM TRYING. I SWEAR. And it seems like something I ought to love. I just can't get past the first two episodes.)
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?": I don't want to insult anybody by saying Stargate but. . . I've just never got it. Now that I know it's tongue-in-cheek I think I understand the appeal more.
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: I can't answer this one. I don't judge what my friends like. I mean, let she who has never actually searched for and purchased bootleg DVDs of every episode of the short-lived series Let's Bowl cast the first stone, right? (Unless somebody called me up raving about Andromeda. *sporfle* Right, Melissa?)
The ones you repeatedly cheat on your steady with: Heroes, Futurama, Doctor Who
