Fandom, fandom, fandom

[cinderlily]

So... like most times, I have gone from zero fandom interest to 100 percent interest over night. I blame Halloween meme really, cause I started writing and I realized? I LOVED IT! I missed feeling in to fandom and the reason I was so out of fandom was because I was scared of what fandom meant. New people, new fic, new everything. But then I re-

Your cut is broken. But I don't care! Because I agree with everything you just said, well most everything anyway. Morgan/Reid! Nick/Greg! Gibbs/DiNozzo!

I am a part of a fandom. I like to call it my flist.

Hell, yes. I'm in control of my fandom experience, I get to decide who I spend my day with (via my flist) and who I listen to and get to know. And it's wonderful:)

That was because it was late and I was MEGA tired but thanks for the catch. :)

EXACTLY! I realized that the other day. When I first started in fandom I was always hunting and pecking but I am finally at the stage where I just get to like... graze on the awesomeness in front of me. It is quite nice. And a lot more satisfying. :D

You're right about flist fandom. I haven't gone looking for fic in months, I always get it from flist or recs and it's always pretty amazing so why look elsewhere.

Nick and Greg. These two are adorable. I wouldn't say I'm in the fandom but I've read some fic on them (in fact I think they are the reason I found lj) and always loved the dynamic that comes up between them. It's a pity we don't see more of that chemistry on-screen but then that's what McShep is for. If you have good Nick/Greg recs you have to send them my way!

And you know how I feel about all things NCIS ::hugs new fandom::

[cinderlily]

I have been going through my old Nick/Greg's stuff but most of my recs you probably would have already read. I am a glut for any and all that is carolinecrane. Seriously. She has a few new peices that made me feel warm like going home.

OMG, NCIS. That is the place I am finding the most resistence. It is like, I look and look and yet so little is out there! I do have hope though. Seriously. And like two more seasons of shippiness to go through! :D

[ladyoflisquill]

carolinecrane's page looks hugely familiar. I think I may have read her DW Mickey/Jake stories back when she was writing them.

I haven't gone into the NCIS fic too much yet because I have so much of the show to catch up on so the only stories I've read are xanthelj's (which I know I've already recced you. She just posted a new one though.) The only other place I can point you is the NCIS listing over at newbieguide. Again I don't know which comm's are good or not but it's a pretty good listing.

My first fandom was Buffy, but since Angel/Spike is really canon, I consider Nick/Greg my first OTP:)

So, did you like the vid? (I bet you remembered it)

I love my flist too for introducing me to other fandoms, although they don't always manage to convert me;) It's awesome to hang around with like-minded crazy fanfolk.

[cinderlily]

I did remember it but it was so nice to see it again. Mmm. Jason Mraz and Nick/Greg. *shiver* It was like three minutes of condensed awesome. :)

And see, I have a weird history. I was a fic writer at age like. 9? For Dawson's Creek. Joey/Dawson. Then again for Roswell when I was 14. (Which looking back is funny because I think I shipped Max/Michael with out realizing it because I was so like, "But there is a character with my name! I have to ship her, right?")

I am a part of a fandom. I like to call it my flist.

haha, when I think about it, that's true. I don't post to general communities anymore, half the time when I wrote fic I wouldn't cross post it etc etc.

My problem with fandom is that I'm fickle. When it comes to ships I generally don't do OTP TO END ALL OTPS because I find if I do that I get sick of them after two seconds.

There are a few ships that I don't think I'll ever be able to fully let go of. Nick/Greg being one of them. There's just something about them that I just .. love. And get nostalgic about and sort of wistful. Even though the show is still airing, but whatever.

[cinderlily]

The funny thing? My problem with fandom is the EXACT opposite. I am like.... crazy shipper. I have OTPs and then my brain just doesn't connect to other pairings. I am protective, and silly about it. But at least I know I am silly about it? That is a step right?

And yes, I will never let go of Nick/Greg, and even on some level Martin/Danny (though I seriously haven't watched that show in 3 years. There is just some fairy dust (mind the pun) about it that I keep going back and thinking, "Remember when?"

[swordpoker]

Well I say things like that, but then when I think about it maybe the reason I'm so all over the place with ships is because there hasn't been anything worthy of OMG OTP 111!1!1! for awhile. Like a lot of the things that have a special place in my heart are from my first fandoms. CSI would fall into that, Harry Potter etc.
