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?

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

I wish I had time to write for fandom... because then I would do it full time, but alas, college = my life. in the past, I wrote for lotrips, and a weird AU with Dragonriders of Pern and lotrips. I'm scared to write HP because I only read good stuff, so I hold myself up to a really high standard. same with all writing really...

What ships do you like in other fanverses?

LOTR: mostly hobbits, but also men too... i don't like the way people write elves tho, guess i'm a purist in in that Tolkien writes 'em the best
LOTRips: BillyDom HOLY CRAP, monaboyd was my fandom life for a while. i've also been known to read a good SeanLijah, Viggorli, and almost any combination except Domlijah. I refuse on that one, because too many people actually believe Dom and Elijah are really together in real life.
POTC: Sparrington is hot, but I'm more a traditionalist in the Jack/Will
OC: I've only read one, but it was the hottest thing ever, with Ryan/Seth
QAF: That fandom is scary, but that's where I got my start in fanfiction. Totally Brian/Justin.
Pern: There isn't a fandom like there is for HP and LOTR, but if there was I'd totally jump on it and ship anyone
Star Wars: I've read some horrible Luke/Han, but I could see great possibility there.
My HP ships are:
Remus/Sirius, primarily, with some James/Sirius, Harry/Ron, and Weaslycest thrown in there.

I've also been know to write drabbles of Paul Hamm/Morgan Hamm, and am waiting for a good Ian Thorpe/anyone

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

Actually, HP is a secondary fandom for me. I just like to check out some of the really good stuff. *cough*Shoebox*cough* In case you couldn't tell, I'm totally dedicated to LOTR.

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

Yeah, totally. Troy? Come on, it was slashy, but there was no substance to it. Things like that, that don't have more of a basis in books. Not that the Illiad isn't a good book, but you know what I mean.

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

Quite a while. QUITE!

What are your thoughts on the topic?

I'm a fan of all slash, and I think as long as there are women (yeah, women are the driving force) and computers, there will be some form of fandom.

Oh, I'm a Tolkien purist as well, but if you've read the books, and I do mean all of the books, I think it's absolutely possible.

I'm a bit run down on Legolas though.
