Poll: Choose Your Fandoms

Aug 29, 2006 18:18

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. And the results have been oddly variant, depending on who was hosting the poll and the ( Read more... )

Okay, I clicked 1-2 years even though I have been in HP for nearly four, but I no longer consider it my dominant fandom. That would be Firefly (or would have been until about two weeks ago), which I was in when it was airing, but then sort of stopped being active in it until last May or June when the advance screenings of Serenity appeared, so... a year and a few months there.

Well, but wait. That sounds like Supernatural (Since that's what hit you a few weeks ago, right?) is actually your dominant fandom now. (Pretty soon I'm going to be the only one not in SPN. *looks pathetic* I hope you will all send me postcards from the cool side of fandom.)

Well, yes, Supernatural. But I am still tentative about saying Firefly isn't primary anymore, because I still read and talk and write. I'm just in the New! Shiny! Fandom! phase with SPN, which will hopefully survive new episodes when they finally arrive. *g*

That's how I feel about SGA, which you are in, so...

and there is good gen in SPN, though I'm afraid even the gen is kind of wincesty in the way the show is highly slashy

Soon, right?

I actually think this is the reason there are relatively few people reporting that they're in the earlier stages of a fandom; it takes us a while to realize we've switched providers, so to speak.

Three weeks from today, actually. Not that I'm counting down the days or anything.

Right. And even when the balance of my writing switched from, say, HP to Firefly, I was still writing HP and reading it and commenting to people about it, so it took me a while to admit that maybe they'd switched spots in the lineup. Now I haven't written HP in a month, and haven't opened a Firefly WIP in a couple of weeks, so... who knows?

I don't know if it's the show, or if it's just that SPN has reached such a high level of pairing buy-in that even the gen doesn't feel gennish anymore, but it really doesn't.I think the show promotes such a high level of *emotional* incestuousness - they really do play it as if there is nothing that will ever be more important to Dean than Sam, and they are definitely Weird About Each Other (Dean even more ( ... )
