serpentine85 if you're interested, leave a comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!
Abaranger
1) What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Actually, to start with I wasn't impressed with Aba. The subs were terrible and I couldn't really get past that, but I made myself watch the first 10 episodes, thinking that if I still wasn't that into it by then that really I wouldn't be. Then there was cranky Yukito being wonderfully bitchy and repressed, with his sad backstory and epic slashiness with Ryouga and I was sold. ;)
2) Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
Hm, I'll probably still be dabbling it in for a while in various forms. :)
3) Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
Bah, I can't remember the numbers off hand, so descriptions it will have to be, in no particular order: the body-switching episode; the New Year's episode; the dream episode; the episode with Kerato; the double episode with Yukito's daddy issues.
...strangely all these episodes seem to be Yukito-centric. Go figure. ;)
4) Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Yep, but more sporadically than I did when I was watching the season itself.
5) Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Yesssssss. Come to the dark side, we have crack. :D
Kamen Rider Decade
1) What got you into this fandom in the first place?
I almost didn't watch Decade, honestly. The past couple of years I've given up waiting on subs and just marathoned complete seasons instead. I don't really know why I decided to watch the first episode - curiosity maybe - and while I wasn't entirely sold, I was interested enough to give the second episode a chance. And then came Yuusuke and... yeah, you can see where this is going, right? :D
2) Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
Hm, I'll probably move on for the most part, but the occasional dabbling here and there. I love Decade but fandom-wise it's not really inspiring me very much, in spite of the slashy vibes. :(
3) Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
HIBIKI WORLD. ♥ Seriously, I have not got over my excitement about that arc, just know that I love it. Also Kuuga's World was awesome. My bias, let me show you it. ;)
4) Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
Occasionally, but Tsukasa's a bitch to write for. -_-
5) Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Yes. Because Decade is awesome and I need more people writing it to get me writing for it. ;)
SPD
1) What got you into this fandom in the first place?
Probably the same thing as most people: Bridge Carson. Then my attention wandered to Sky and settled on Jack and at some point I realised that no-one was writing Jack/Sky, when it was so obvious, so I decided to do something about it. The rest is history. :D Incidentally, SPD was the fandom that made me get a livejournal and it was my first big PR love. :)
2) Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I already have moved on, really, I hardly write for PR anymore, even SPD. *shrugs* None of the seasons that came after really grabbed me and sentai pretty much stole my soul anyway so I guess that's a moot point.
3) Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
Hm, my biases are showing again, but mainly the episodes with strong Jack/Sky overtones. Badge. The meteor episode whose name escapes me. Idol. Recognition. I think that covers it.
4) Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I did, but not anymore, sadly. :(
5) Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Yes, because SPD is a great season, in spite of its flaws and for some reason it doesn't seem to get that much love. :(
