Family Fandom

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, F!S! Have you ever shared a fandom with your whole family?

Over Christmas, my family started watching The Walking Dead, and pretty soon, every single day they would ask me to get my laptop so we could plug it into the TV and binge-watch some more episodes. And we'd get into arguments over the plot, and discuss what we'd do if there was a zombie apocalypse.
But then when we got home after Christmas we just... didn't pick it up again. For this short period of time, all of us became obsessed, like we'd caught the fly.

Now my mother has finally started watching the Downton Abbey seasons we got her for her birthday last year. She binge-watched Season 1 and 2 over a period of two days, and now wants me to get her S3 and 4 for Mother's Day. (Even my younger brother started watching it with her.)

I think my favourite part was when ***SPOILERS*** Lord Grantham kissed the maid, and we all got SO MAD and we unanimously agreed that it was a terrible writing decision that should never have happened.

Have you ever had bizarre fandom experiences with your family, F!S?

Ohyeah.

My parents were Trekkies in the days of TOS. We'd watch reruns and TNG as a family, and later my dad & I would watch DS9 together. Found out as a teenager that my mom was a *prolific* writer of K/S back in the day.

My sister and I shared a lot of fandoms - she got me into X Files and BSG and Lost, I got her into Supernatural and HP Lovecraft and glam rock.

My mom and 2 of her sisters and I are prolific readers, we trade SF/F books like they're drugs at a rave.

First Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then Heroes. Their continuing to watch the latter was probably the only reason I kept watching into season 3. (We tried a few other shows like Jake 2.0, but most of them got cancelled quickly. I am still bitter about Century City.)

Star Trek. Everybody in my family watches and likes Star Trek, starting with mother and father back when the original series was in its first run.

We're not uniform-wearing, t-shirt donning, con-going kinda fans, but I think between the lot of us, we own every episode of every series, all the movies and most of the novels. If I need to see a particular episode of DS9 in a hurry, I just call my family.

Not a bizarre experience, but my sister is introducing her little girl to Buffy and wants us all to watch so we can be One Big Buffy-Watching Family. So I am about to start watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time, so that I can talk about it with my niece.

The two things my whole family traditionally geeks out about together are The Lion in Winter and The Blue Castle. The Lion in Winter is our Christmas Special, and back in 2009 or so I ended up reading some passages from The Blue Castle out loud to my family and they all loved it and read the whole book and now we're all fans.

I have gotten about half my family to join me in obsessive love of War and Peace. The rest of them will take some time.

I was hoping it would be Vikings, because my stepdad PVRed the entire first season last year and (I thought) really wanted to watch it. I watched it, it stayed on our PVR for months until my mom got tired of seeing it all there and deleted it, lol. So he never got to see it and no one ended up recording season 2 yet. D:

They really do like Big Bang Theory though for some reason. I used to, and even though it kind of blows, I still watch it sometimes with them because it's like the one thing we all watch together. Besides soap operas. (lol)
