Poll: Choose Your Fandoms

[thefourthvine]

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

Now's a golden opportunity to thank you for my latest obsession, dS fic, which is eating my life.

*beams*

It is one of the two fandoms of my heart, to which I shall ever be faithful. So it does me good to hear that another person has seen the light.

you said in your "Fandoms 4thVine has Loved" that you hadn't watched the TV show; have you by now?

Well, for me, the answer to that question is always going to be "sort of" with any TV series, because I just - it takes a lot for me to sit down with one episode, and there are like a billion for every single show ever.

But I have seen many episodes in seasons three and four, which for me is an impressive commitment. And eeeee! They are better than I'd hoped and slashier than I'd dreamed.

I started out reading Trek fanzines posted by snailmail - how else to get them? - in the 1980s. Am a dinosaur.

I consider you impressively resourceful. (Which, you'll note, sounds much better than "dinosaur," unless your target audience is boys aged 2-8.) Lord knows I could never have found fandom without the internet, never mind actually being in it.

And I wrote some quite remarkably shite fanfics in my littlest fandom, simply because not enough other writers existed there.

What is your littlest fandom?

Young Americans *WB teensoap, v embarassing, like Smallville, great chemistry, rotten dialogue*
The cast was:
Ian Somerhalder (pre guesting on Smallville and season1 Lost)
Kate Bosworth (preOrlando)
Kate Moennig (pre L Word)
I was crushing on Kate Moennig, who was playing a crossdressing girl infiltrating a boys prep school for inadequately explained reasons. It was addictive.

HAH! I saw a vid for that, and BB and I both thought that was a girl cross-dressing. Vindicated! Although - damn. I was sorta hoping someone would eventually explain to me why. I guess it was one of those "For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, a girl is cross-dressing and infiltrating a boys' prep school" deals?
