Multi-fandom?
Now that the extended editions are all out (barring whatever super-deluxe version PJ produces in the future), and the awards have been given, and we've all settled down, the time has come to question just how much I'm going to use this journal for LOTR-All-The-Time purposes. I certainly needed it in the heyday of my fandom craze, but I must admit I've started drifting to other fandoms now that there's nothing "new" to look forward to in LOTR-land. I will always love and cherish our hobbits, naturally, and probably will re-read LOTR many times yet in my life, but I will also be picking up new interests.
I'm a free lUser here, so I can't post a poll, and therefore you'll have to tell me in the comments: any preferences from you, loyal friends, on what I do with this journal? Main choices are:
a) Leave it as LOTR-only, but post seldom (the status quo)
b) Open it up to include other fandoms that may catch my fancy. At the moment this includes the TV show "Lost," the book (and eventually film) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, occasional Harry Potter days, occasional Star Wars days, new music I stumble across, and basically any movie/book/series I might happen to discover and enjoy. Our household just got Netflix, so this could include a wide range.
Trouble with option B is that only a subset of you, at any given time, will know what I'm talking about; whereas in all-LOTR, you all knew the content when you signed up. So, there is also the option...
c) Post my new fandom musings on my regular journal (lemonlye), as I have been doing, and invite you to add that one if you want to watch.
...But the trouble with C is that I also have mundane everyday-life whinings on that LJ, which you needn't be subjected to if all you want is fandom.
So in a way I'm inclined toward B. But I don't know. What do you think?
