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?

1. I don't write but I read extensively. Started in Trek waaay back before the Internet became a daily thing. I had 'zines. Got into all the other Treks and jumped into Highlander and then HP. Been involved in fandom for OMG over 30 yrs????

2. In Classic Trek Kirk/Spock, Spock/Chapel, Spock/Uhura. Jungle Kitty did some excellent Spock/Uhura. In Next Gen didn't have a ship except towards the end I liked Troi/Worf, that looked interesting especially with the son involved. DS9, oh I was in LOVE with Sisko I wanted him with just about anyone, and I read him that way too. Voyager was all slash all the time. But it came down to finally Chakotay and Tom Paris. I dabbled in het there with Janeway and Paris and I loved it. I wandered away from it as season 7 happened and it just went to hell for me there. Don't know why but it did. It was going that way for awhile. Highlander was Methos/Duncan, dabbled in some other relationships but they WERE the OTP there. HP? Snape. It's all about Severus. Have read het and slash and the OTP for me is Snarry. I love a good Snarry and there has been alot of it.

4. Flash in the pan? I guess Highlander was, I only hung with it for 3 yrs. I saw alot of interest in SW:TPM after the movie. Don't see that much anymore. Sentinel seemed that way too, although I know people are still involved it isn't a big one like it used to be.

3. Left Highlander for HP after the first HP movie and devouring the first 4 books.

5. HP will last as long as Trek has, in my opinion. It is a very wealthy universe to play in. It has enough to keep people writing and talking for yrs. And unlike Anne McCaffrey and Anne Rice, JKR won't shut it down to fanfic. Smart of her to do that.

Thirty years? Fuck -- that's a marriage! LOL

Oh I had one of those too. Only lasted 17 yrs. I still belong to some old Trek mailing lists. Don't have the heart to unsub from em. So yeah I can see it being a marriage or a deeply interesting hobby that outlasts lovers.
