Fandom and other fandoms -- do you indulge?

[themostepotente]

Besides the Harry Potter fandom -- do you write for any other fandoms currently?

What ships do you like in other fanverses?

Have you considered trying your hand at writing for another fandom?

Or perhaps you left another fandom to come to Harry Potter?

Do you consider some of the fandoms to be flash in the pans?

And lastly, how long do you foresee the Harry Potter fandom lasting?

I know that I've written for;

LoTR
TPM
Star Trek
X-Men

cave_canem is making me seriously consider the Buffyverse.

What are your thoughts on the topic?

I started out writing Final Fantasy 7 (it's an RPG video game on PSOne, if you didn't know) and I'm still on-off writing for it, so I never left it or anything. I just seem to spend more time in the HP fandom, because it's larger and more organized and some of the fic is amazingly good. FF7 lacks great fic, I'd like to think I'm one of the better writers in that fandom, but that may only be because most of the stuff is half-arsed shite posted on FF.net (I post on FF.net too, but some of the fiction there just pains me).

I see the HP fandom lasting a very long time. I suppose certain things will remain open even after we've got all the books and the possible 8th extra book, so there'll be something to discuss and fics to write, definitely. There'll be dry seasons in the future, but new fans will constantly show up and they'll want to write fic and read fic and discuss.

Possibly eighth extra book? Did I miss something?

I read it from the paper a couple of months back (before summer, I think) that Rowling might put out a book filled with notes and "leftover scenes" from the books. Like the things she mentions on her site. And the profits would go to charity.

That hasn't probably been confirmed anywhere, though.
