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.

I was like 'what do I call something where I read fic but don't read/watch source text? Where I watch the show obsessively and like to talk about it, but don't care about the fic?'

Ooh, that's a very good question. I mean, I've seen about 2 episodes of The Professionals ever but I've read buckets of slash. I've never even seen one episode of The Sentinel.

Fandom's a funny thing.

I know - I have seen NO Due South or The Sentinel at all and only a few episodes of Stargate - but that's the fic I've been devouring lately. And then I am watching Medium and adoring it and yet there's no fic-need. Same with Alias, actually - I devoured the first two and a half season on DVD really quickly but I don't read the fic.

So it makes me feel spoiled with AtS and Buffy where I loved the fic and the show both so much, in such different ways.
