Stolen from skaryma...
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:
Wicked RPF. It tricked me, I swear! It's not my fault I fell into something so sordid and wrong and insane! (And I still hate it on principle, hmph.)
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:
Buffy. My introduction to fandom, and though we don't keep in touch the way we should, we do catch up sometimes. And I love that things are STILL happening four years after the end of the series.
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:
Law & Order SVU. Though it's not the show that's crazy, but the FANDOM. I've never seen so much ridiculousness. Scared me away, for sure.
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:
Grey's Anatomy. Definitely lots of liquor and sex, but I got kind of burned out on it. Tequila only goes so far.
The steady:
Wicked (the FICTION.) For one thing, the fandom is LITERATE. And often intelligent and creative. These are things that I no longer take for granted. And there are just so many directions to go!
The alluring strangers whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:
Firefly. Love the characters, love the scenario, can't seem to do anything beyond think about writing.
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:
Harry Potter. It's just so...intimidating. And what if it doesn't work out? Will the friendship be ruined?
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:
Angel. You'd think that since I love Buffy and Firefly, I'd like Angel too. But no, somehow dark and broody just doesn't do it for me.
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?"
Stargate, both Atlantis and SG-1. I've tried to get into it, but there's just no attraction, and I have no idea how so many people I like and respect could be so taken in...
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 have two friends who are seeing twins: Star Trek, DS9 and Voyager. I just want one of them to get it through her head that it'll never go anywhere serious, and I want the other to understand that it's just not worth her time.
(And like Amy, I left out a couple of important ones because they just didn't fit. Sorry, West Wing, I promise I still love you.)
