Torchwood Survey - Results

Jul 20, 2013 18:44

Before I begin, a disclaimer. I am not a statistician. I am not a scientist. I’m just a fan with a vague question: ”What happens to a fandom when it dies?” or, more accurately, “Where did everybody go!?” This is in no way meant to be a hard and fast realistic view of the Torchwood fandom; the sample size was relatively small and my analysis is ( Read more... )

I'm not sure I consider myself to be in the fandom anymore, but that's more about not taking part in fic for me; I feel like I don't have anything to say with fiction that I haven't already. But I do go to cons and look forward to seeing the Torchwood actors and keep up with them. (I followed Barrowman to Arrow.)

I'm mostly involved with Avengers/MCU fandom now; though I liked the individual films, The Avengers hooked me hard because there's a team! And there are more movies coming! I really like things with a team dynamic, versus a buddy show. I kept feeling like Torchwood would add more members after S3 (like Lois Habiba) but then they didn't or in Miracle Day they would and then they'd die, so...that just eventually bummed me out.

How could I forget Arrow!? Yes - I'm totally invested in Arrow and it's down to Barrowman's involvement.

Me too! I came for the Barrowman and stayed for the Amell. (And the Barrowman.) I did like it more when Diggle and Felicity joined up to make more of a team.

I agree. The team dynamic is what really keeps me going. And I have to admit I'm crossing my fingers that they keep the brot3 goodness going and don't pair Felicity up with either Diggle or Oliver. I think I'm hugely in the minority among the Arrow fandom though, and this worries me/makes me sad.

I like UST so I would like Diggle and Oliver to just continue awkwardly flirting with Felicity forever. :D

Yeah, definitely - it was about fic for me, too. I still love the show and the actors, but now there's so much ~new~ stuff to write about in other universes.

(Not that I've written much of anything at all. I think I broke it.)

It's interesting - I didn't even consider the team dynamic as being a factor. I should have. That's got to have some correlated results.

Dammit.
