Fandoms as Exes
The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: Yugioh. It was my very first fandom, but the colossal amount of mind-numbingly bad fic, coupled with the sheer lunacy of the later seasons totally put me off it.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: TMNT. I certainly don't mind venturing into the slash comms now and then for a look-round.
The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: Rent. Those fans are batshit insane.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Cowboy Bebop. Good for a quickie, but a steady fandom relationship would be a disaster.
The steady: Good Omens. I will always, always read or write it, no matter what fandom I'm in at the time.
The one you repeatedly cheat on your steady with: South Park. I can't stop myself!
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: Lord of the Rings. The sheer volume of knowledge you have to have to read and write in that fandom is staggering.
The one that you had a mutual breakup with, and are still friends: Batman. I know I'll come back to it eventually.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: LOST. I dearly wish I could, but alas, it just doesn't work for me. I can't even get into fic.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Firefly.
The one you slept with on the rebound who still smiles at you, yet you have no interest in any more: "No" means "no", Colbert Report!
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking,"Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?" Supernatural. Apparently this is the second coming of Christ, and I'm just too stupid to see it.
The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Mmmm. Dunno. Thankfully there's no drama of this sort on my f-list.
