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'm here because I've been meaning to friend you for a while now, but I've not gotten around to it; anyway, you're on my friendslist now. :)


As for your post, I'm assuming art counts?

I don't write for any other fandoms, just HP--but I've drawn VERY sparingly for Star Trek: Voyager, and for the Wiggles, and for Kim Possible. But I've never gotten shippy in my art.

I like Greg/Anthony in the Wiggles fandom, Janeway/Chakotay in STV, and Kim/Ron and Kim/Shego in Kim Possible.

Well, I've been meaning to draw some Kim/Shego for a while now, and hopefully soon I'll do some slashy Wiggles art. But writing's not my thing; it took a while for me to branch into writing in HP and it'd take some serious love to inspire me in another fandom. And I don't love the other ones nearly so much.

I was in STV before I came to Harry Potter, but I wouldn't say I left it for HP. I had sort of lost interest before I joined the HP fandom.

Depends on the size of the fandom. I couldn't pick any. *shrug*

I think it will last a GOOD LONG TIME. Fans come and go, but the size of the fandom is such that there will always be a teeming mass to support it. I think HP fandom has a long future ahead of it; I wouldn't be surprised if someday there are conventions around the world being held more frequently than they are now, just like Star Trek.

GOOD LORD LOOK AT MY FANDOMS I'm going straight to hell. Harry Potter, Kim Possible...the WIGGLES...agh!

>Oh? What brought you over here? I'm always curious.

Of course!

I noticed you mentioned ST:Voy. Have any links for artwork?

Ah! I believe I read a certain Narcissa/Lily of yours once, ages ago, that drew me in. :) Very hot.

The only bit of Voyager art I still have in digital form is a rather old and quick pencil portrait of Janeway (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/Laelithe/janeway2.jpg). I did it in high school, so you know...it's not that great, or at least I like to think I've improved since then. Ha.

But anyway. There you go!
