Number 26 is indeed nice -- unless basically ALL of the fandoms you like best have exactly ZERO online representation (at least in the circles you frequent). At a certain point, every now and then, it does get kind of tiresome to be the sole missionary preaching the virtues of your own sources of inspiration to an audience of deaf people.
In three years, I've found ONE person online who is able to appreciate what I mean when I say that Ashe Foreth reminds me of last week's dumped soap opera chick.
I've met... oh... two people, maybe, who would even NOTICE if every poem ever written suddenly blipped out of existence. Most people hear "poetry" and run for the kills or just sit there going "......I like pie?"
Tolkien fandom rivals the Cult of Potter, but in four years of searching, I've found two pieces of fanfic that featured my favourite character as the primary focus -- one was in Spanish, and the other was a Silmarillion screenplay in which my character's part consisted mainly of page after page after page of torture scenes described with a level of detail that seriously made me question the author's sanity and knowledge of human anatomy. Also, it sucked. Sorry, but no one outside of Monty Python can still sit there and speak coherently after they've had two arms and a leg lopped off.
And don't even talk to me about classical literature "fandoms".
I hate most mainstream fandoms. So an awful lot of conversations simply spiral into me sitting there nodding politely while people gush about Heroes or Lost or 24 or some other thing I couldn't watch 5 minutes of and consistently care about or enjoy.

... dood, the author chopped off his arms and leg and he was still alive? Barahir's companion he was, Superman he was not. =< You sure it wasn't some sort of parody? o.o
