I miss my fannish feels...

[denorios]

I am entirely lacking in fannish feels at the moment. I miss it. I don't know what's happened, where it's all gone. I feel like I'm watching a ridiculous number of shows, and yet none of them are really enthralling me. I can't think of any characters I really love. Even shows I once adored are just...meh at the moment, and I don't know whether it's

I know what you mean. Shows I never used to miss (Castle, Glee, Supernatural), I haven't seen pretty much all season. The shows I'm still watching, I don't even love.

I can point out the reasons in some shows (Can't stand Blaine on Glee, Supernatural feels like it should've been canceled a while back...), but others, I just don't know.

I will say that I'm hopeful for next season's Hawaii 5-0; I just need to finish getting through this one.

I'm wondering if fanfic is to blame. Now that there's this whole universe out there where we can change what we don't like, I think maybe I'm becoming more... active when a show doesn't satisfy me. Before the internet, if I didn't like a show, I'd either suck it up or stop watching. Now there's a place where I can get it my way, and I have little patience when a show doesn't engage me. Instead, I'll head here and look for fanfic to do what the shows aren't anymore.

I'm Fannishly Obsessed - yes, capital letters were necessary - with Teen Wolf right now. Everything else just had to stand back. Season S3B was amazing! Possession, Japanese mythology, amazing friendship scenes between the two main characters... Man, I haven't been this obsessed with anything since... White Collar S1, I think!
