So it looks like I've joined another fandom. But one that embarrasses me a little to be in and a load of people think is wrong and immoral. I couldn't fall for SV or something, no I had to fall into the sparkly side.
I wonder how some people can be totally loyal to one fandom, and only read/write in that one, and some seem to be fandom whores. I class myself the second way to some extent. I do find new fandoms and always have a few on the go at once, but I still remain active in my main fandoms.
One of my friends is totally loyal. She moved from TS to MX and even though we talk a lot, she has no interest in what I'm writing in TS, it's MX or nothing.
I class myself as active in TS and MX, because I post fic there and maintain web sites for both. I don't post to lists as much, because there's some scary people in TS and I've learned it's better to keep your mouth shut. I post in MX but as it's so small that could amount to a couple of posts a month if that. However in that fandom all the weird fans seem to gravitate to me. Once you put your name and addy on an archive just watch the strange mails flock in.
It makes me wonder how people that write in multi fandoms cope.
Now, I've an interview to answer and one to give. I'm hiding in the house today as it's so hot that I don't want to go out until later unless I can help it.

am curious...
*casually* not that i'm curious or anything but what fandom are you talking about? come on, nothing to be ashamed of - is this some Winnie the Pooh slash?
Re: am curious...
ROTFLMAO. Babycakes, I'm glad I wasn't drinking there, I'd be choking on the floor *g*
Nope, not Winnie slash, though I have read that
I'm so ashamed. It's rps/boyband/popslash. Specifically of the Backstreet Boys Nsync kind. It just embarrasses me to admit to it as it sounds such a teeny thing to obsess about, boybands, but I do like them. And they touch *all* the time. The pictures are enough to make you want to constantly drool.But I know that a lot of people are really opposed to rps, and in some ways I agree. I could never slash Garett and Richard from TS for instance. But boybands...oh man, I'm gone about them.
And now I'm telling you way more than you asked for, so I'll shut up *g*
Re: am curious...
And honestly, I don't see how it's worse to slash boysbands than something else, because the people they're on stage are not really them, it's character (like Eminem who acts sometimes as Slim Shady, but who really is Marshall Mathers)... am I making sense? You're not slashing them, you're slashing their public persona, that's different.
Now, if you were pairing them with a poodle...
>>>And now I'm telling you way more than you asked for, so I'll shut up *g*>>>
no you're not - if I were easily squicked, I wouldn't cruise LJs *g*
