Poll: Choose Your Fandoms

Wait! Wait, please don't scroll past.

Yes, I know you've probably seen at least one other poll like this today. I have, too. In fact, I've seen four polls about popular current fandoms in the last 48 hours or so, mostly as people gear up for year-end stuff.

I know you asked for "current" fandoms, but I checked some boxes for shows I don't really watch or read right now, because I still consider them my fandoms even if I'm not obsessing about them right now, because I will start again any minute.

*eyes you*

Well. Technically, that is against the Sacred Rules of the Poll, but I suppose if you know for sure that you're going to pick them up again in a week or a month, then that's more of a temporary fandom vacation.

But I will be keeping a very close eye on you, young lady.

(Yup, I'm practicing; I'm hoping to get a job as a martinet. But actually, I figure you know best what your current fandoms are, so you are best qualified to make the call. I just emphasized the "currently" in the intro to avoid the whole, "But I still love [name of character]! So I'm still in the fandom! Even if I haven't thought about it in years!" thing, which tends to happen with some fandoms.)

I'm more of a "But I still love [name of fandom]! Even if I haven't read any fanfiction in months! Because I looked at my boxsets and almost watched them! And then bookmarked fanfiction! .... and then ended up reading SGA instead ( ... )

I have days or weeks where I don't bother reading anything new because I know I'm not in the right frame of mind to enjoy it; I only want stories like X. For me, X is usually a writer's style, so I'll spend the time either obsessively re-reading that person's stories or whining about why she doesn't write more. Or both.

But, you know, sometimes you just need - well, for example, Jane Austen. (Although it could be argued that there's no one who doesn't need Jane Austen. God, I love her.)

Oh my god, yes, stupid addictive authors. That is how I ended up reading in The Sentinel fandom. And then popslash.
