I've made a bit of an inroad into my defriend-a-thon. At the moment I'm only deleting people who don't have me friended. So they won't be reading this anyway, but if they do - sorry?

And now, a poll.

Just for the record, this is swmbo's evil doing. This was meant to be a short little poll to find out about fandom interests on my flist, and became this enormous thing. If you love me, fill it out, please?

For the purposes of this poll, I'm asking what fandoms do you currently consider yourself a member of? I'm defining fandom member as... hell, I don't know. I love Desperate Housewives, for instance, but I wouldn't say I'm part of fandom since I don't belong to communities, read or write fic or have DH discussions on my journal. Your definition of what's a fandom and what's something you like might be different. Whatever it is, come in and play.

ETA: damn, I forgot Veronica Mars, didn't I? D'oh. Well, that's what the 'other' boxes are for...
ETA2: I swear X-Men was in the comic section at some point, obviously got deleted, though. Oops.

My REAL fandom is Livejournal, man. I'll read and cackle over and discuss episodes of shows I've never even seen that show up on my friendslist--even reality TV, which I NEVER watch. I have a weird pseudounderstanding of "The Amazing Race" from miggy alone.

Anime and manga series are evil and insidious and lend themselves to polyfannishness more than anything else I have experienced. I started counting series that I am currently head-over-heels-in-love-with and gave up around twelve. They would not all fit in your textbox!! *sob* They are like potato chips, because you can't fangirl just one, and they have eaten my brain, and I faintly remember a time when I watched TV with actual living breathing human beings in it, but since "Angel" died that's gotten rarer and rarer. I WOULD watch "Veronica Mars" and "House", but I can never remember to stop playing on the Net and turn the TV on on Tuesdays.

As to OTPs, I have like five per fandom, and a rising number of OT3s. Polyfannishness lends itself to polyshipping. I think Gojyo/Hakkai from "Saiyuki" (see icon) has the distinction of my being my first official OTP slash ship, not in the sense of "I understand that they are not actually 100% canon but I reserve the right to cacklesquee anyway over the subtext" (a la Spike/Angel, etc.) but in the sense of "I understand that they are not actually 100% canon but I reserve the right to be heartbroken anyway if they hook up permanently with other people, regardless of gender." Because, REALLY. [/dorky fangirl]

(My icons are always a pretty good weathervane for my current fannish tendencies. This, my one Buffyverse icon to which I still cling, has a quote from "Cowboy Bebop" on it. I am doomed.)
