What makes you fannish? And by that we mean, what is it about a tv show/movie/book/band/podcast/etc that takes you from, "Yeah, I like that," to "I need MOAR!!!" Is it a character? A plotline? The pretty? Subtext that’s just screaming to be acknowledged?
In your own space, tell us what it is that gets you to cross that line into fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Simple answer, the characters, I've always been a OTC person and every active fandom I've been in has had one characters I've adored above all others. ( Let me show you pictures of Terri's fannish past and also do my own challenge of a mini pic spam at the same time. )
So yes, a lot of it is I need to fall for a character to be fannish, but that's not everything. I mean, I read in lots of other fandoms and enjoy characters but never had that final push to be fannish. Reid in Criminal Minds, Greg in CSI, Tony in NCIS, Nick in Poltergiest the Legacy, most shows I enjoy have a character I love above all others.
I think in the end that final fannish push can come from those around me. I'm much more likely to be involved fannishly and creatively if I have friends doing the same thing, even if that's just one person like in the Magic Mike fandom where only![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sperrywink seems to share the interest.
Honestly, I doubt I could fully explain what makes me think, need more! But, on a very simplistic and shallow level, connecting with a characters is a hell of a start, and if that needing more is amplified by those around me, well, that's all the better.
