Fandom meme
The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it.
I... don't know? Most of my relationships with fandom have been engaged in with low expectations, not whole-hearted love, and ended with a gentle growing apart or mutual parting of ways, not drama. I suppose Grey's Anatomy would be a contender; after Erika Hahn was dropped unceremoniously, things were never the same again, but the rot could probably be traced even earlier, to the end of Burke/Christina.
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:
Torchwood. I loved it then and I love it still but the long distance thing/American series just isn't working.
The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized s/he really was fucking crazy:
Supernatural. Crazy has its benefits, but I could never live with it full-time.
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 get with again, although you're relieved s/he doesn't actually live in town:
This is a bit like the one above? Maybe Gossip Girl.
The steady:
Harry Potter, forever and always. Maybe New Tricks, too.
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:
Narnia and I have had some good times and occasional sexual tension, but it's never really gone anywhere.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with, but ultimately you're just good buddies:
Boston Legal, Spooks.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool person except it's never really gone anywhere:
Fringe or Pretty Little Liars. I have watched bits of those shows multiple times, but it never goes past hanging out.
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How the hell did they land all these cool people?"
Glee. I don't think I will ever get it.
The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and against whom you measure all other potential partners:
Skins. When the fandom was at its best, it was my best active fandom ever.
The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better:
Buffy. I've seen S1 and some of S2, but the fandom itself hasn't really worked out for me yet.
The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they'd clean up a bit:
Bad Girls, Cybill
Your hot new flame:
I don't have one at the moment. The most recent was probably The Worst Witch, earlier this year.
