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?

Hi! I’m here from the daily_snitch. ^___^

Besides the Harry Potter fandom -- do you write for any other fandoms currently?
Yes. In a manner of speaking. ^__~


What ships do you like in other fanverses?
Spiderman: Harry/Peter, Venom/Peter, sometimes even Norman/Peter
Fruits Basket: Yuki/Kyou, Haru/Kyou, Hatori/Kyou, Shigure/Kyou, Ayame/Kyou
Escaflowne: Dilandau/Van, Van/Eries, Allen/Eries
NSYNC: JC/Lance, Justin/Lance
So Weird: Carey/Fi, Clu/Fi
X-Men: Bobby/John, Logan/Peter
X-Men/Spiderman crossover: Logan/Peter, Scott/Peter
LotR (movieverse): Aragorn/Legolas
HP RPS: Tom/Dan, Rupert/Dan
Trigun: Vash/Wolfwood
Cowboy Bebop: Spike/Faye
PotC: Jack/Will
Troy (movieverse): Achilles/Hector
Pilot Candidate: Hiead/Zero
The Faculty: Zeke/Casey
Gundam Wing: 2x1

And, no, I’m not actually in all those fandoms. Some of them are past fandoms, some I only check in on every once and a while, some I used to check in on but haven’t lately, and some I consider myself a member of, but haven’t actually written anything for.
Also, some of the pairings I’ve listed are so rare that I haven’t actually read anything involving them—but I like the idea. ^__~


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


Or perhaps you left another fandom to come to Harry Potter?
Yes again. My first fandom was Passions, which was soon eclipsed by In A Heartbeat, which was then replaced with Harry Potter—which I’ve stuck with, with differing levels of dedication, ever since (though I dabble in other fandoms).


Do you consider some of the fandoms to be flash in the pans?
In retrospect—yes.


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

Hey there Miranda!

I've noticed a lot of people mentioned popslash. NSync seems to be the group of choice.

Were the BSB not as popular? Just curious.

Actually, I was a huge BSB fan in my teenybopper days, during the peak of the boyband craze. I intensely disliked NSYNC back then, LOL. ^_^
Anyway, it wasn't until later that I discovered fandom, fanfic, slash, and popslash. I stuck with my fandoms and had no interest in reading popslash, of any sort, when one day, out of boredom, I clicked the link to a JC/Lance story called Cuisine (http://yearningvoid.net/insanity/cuisine.html), by Calico, and was dragged kicking and screaming into the fandom. To this day, I'd have to say that that particular story is one of the best popslash fics I've ever read.
Of course, I was aware that BSB RPS had its own following, but by that pointed I'd just sort of--well, lost interest in them. Don't know why. o.O ^__~
