netgirl_y2kI should go to bed. I'm going to a rugby match tomorrow with Tequila Boy and kick-off is at 5pm, which means I've got to get up at quarter past early to get there. When I win the lottery I'm going to have Murrayfield moved brick by brick to just outside my house, alternatively I'll just move myself to Edinburgh, one of those two things, certainly.
A meme, then, just a quick one. Fandoms as relationships.
The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it.
Merlin. Oh, Merlin, why so cruel? I once loved you with my whole heart and then you turned into the Adventures of Creepy Creepy Merlin and The Once and Future Sockpuppet, Backing Vocals Provided by Many Evil And/Or Dead Women.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp
The West Wing, for the consumption of red wine and much sophisticated chat about politics. Alternatively, much squeeing over CJ Cregg, the awesomeness of.
The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized s/he really was fucking crazy
A Song of Ice and Fire (book fandom.) Sansa Stark is thirteen, and pretty much the definition of harmless, also fictional. Stop rooting for her to be raped, it's creepy.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor and whom you'd still really like to get with again, although you're relieved s/he doesn't actually live in town
Being Human. I have masses of love for all of this, especially the last series, but it's kind of hard going for a full time fandom, I would think.
The steady
Doctor Who. Sorry, other fandoms, but if a big blue box arrives, I'm getting in it.
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with
Legend of the Seeker and I have had a few fun weekend flings.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with, but ultimately you're just good buddies
Avatar: the Last Airbender, you were all correct, the show is pretty much flawless, but some poking around the edges of fandom have confirmed that my desire to read or write fic for it is pretty much non-existant, probably on account of the aforementioned flawlessness.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool person except it's never really gone anywhere
The Vampire Diaries. Many women of awesome and Stefan is the best boyfriend in the history of boyfriends, but then, Damon, you know, exists.
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How the hell did they land all these cool people?"
Torchwood. Apart from the bit I liked which everyone else hated. Such is the way of life, I suppose.
The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and against whom you measure all other potential partners
Merlin canon makes me want to bite people - Merlin, ideally - Merlin fandom, especially all the camelot_fleet stuff is what I measure fun, friendly fandom experiences against.
The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better
Warehouse 13. Minions, write all of the things! I'm allowed to do that, right?
The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they'd clean up a bit
Harry Potter. I've been watching all the films again and could stand to pay another visit to Hogwarts.
Your hot new flame
Game of Thrones, and the many ways I can think of to make Sansa queen of stuff!
The one who stole your significant other
Comics, Inception, Homestruck, XMFC. Ho hum, it's not like I really expected to be joined in my strange new world of Sansa Stark adoration anyway.

Date: 2011-08-22 11:36 am (UTC)Admittedly, the Sansa thing I only saw once, and I know we all have characters we dislike beyond what is sometimes rational (hi, Merlin!) but it stuck in my mind because it just seemed like such an overreaction to what is basically a pretty inoffensive character.
