turpsSo 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.

Re: scary people
Date: 2003-08-05 12:20 pm (UTC)There are some scary people in TS. *Not* on the lists that I'm on I have to say, I've been treated with nothing but kindness and respect by them. There's just one person that really gets my back up. But even then that's nothing to what's happening in LOTR fandom. That's left such a nasty taste in my mouth. Then I was reading how Lanning was treated by Highlander fans, there's no need for it at all. I love fandom mostly, but sometimes it's a dark scary place.
Nice to see you back btw *g*
