Whether by a few months or a few decades.

House MD. I was about 13 years old when I got into it...maybe at around season 5? I really got into writing fanfics. One of the older BNFs of the fandom came to review my fic and said that it was bad and that I'd entered the fandom too late.

What does that even mean?

I love House and miss reading fanfics. I'd give yours a try.

Doctor Who and Firefly on two separate occasions. On both, my flist was originally super into the shows; every icon post was a DW/Firefly character, random Whovian/Browncoat references, everything. Both times I finally got into the shows just as their enthusiasm was waning off.

Mad Men is a bit like that - I got into it while the show was still airing, but it was also when a lot of people lost interest, either because of the longer hiatus between seasons four and five, or because they hated Megan/Peggy/everything. So I didn't get into it entirely too late, but I got into it when people were getting tired of it.

I do think everyone got very re-excited by the last season though, so at least you got to be a part of that!

AYRT - Oh, good point, actually! Yes, that was fun.

Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, Hobbit, etc.

I wonder how I would have reacted to these if I'd read them when I was younger.

Babylon 5. Buffy. Tolkien (although the fandom is surprisingly active). And I really wish I'd gotten into Doctor Who during the classic Who era.

X-Files. :(

Same. Though I had a lot of fun during the brief fandom renaissance a few years back.

Maybe it will happen again with the new series.

I'm kind of vicariously re-living my glory days of watching The X-Files when it was shiny and new through you.

I'll post another update post on...Thursday probably. I am on episode 20 of Season 3 (loving it).

I only just last year got into Marathon. And now the only people around to talk to about it are assholes. Classic PC (or Mac as the case may be) gaming circles suck.

Can't argue with that, unfortunately. I used to attend a pretty consistent LAN group, but they were sort of a beautiful anomaly in that they were cool about stuff and we were co-ed even at the time, so my experience was great. But trying to relive it lately has been a real shitshow.

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning. I got it about a year late because it was ridiculously expensive when it first came out here, and then when I did get it, the start was so slow that I only managed to play a couple of days. I went on playing two days a year until I got to Spring 10 when things finally got interesting and now I'm dating Sanjay and he's a season away from proposing to me. I've just discovered that Sanjay is everything I want in a man and I'm sad that I missed out on the fandom. I used to have so much fun talking bachelors and farming strategies in the heyday of HM:DS/C, but I feel like the new farmers on Ushi no Tane are a rather different crowd from the one I used to hang with.

Babylon 5 :'(

Full metal panic :( too many years late to buy the books - they're priced at collectors prices and incomplete!

Final Fantasy - I got into it half a year before Advent Children was released. Given that that was around 10 years after FF7 was released, and 9 after FF8, both games had a fair bit of Old Fandom feel, with old archives and old web circles. AC revived FF7 but FF8 remained an old fandom.

There's a few older animes I occasionally read in that I'm a bit late to as well, mostly as they are old, slow and have very little new fic.

Um, does Netflix count? Cause I still don't understand it. God the number of categories! It's so overwhelming.

I just finished watching Veronica Mars today. XD So um... only what, eleven years late?

The Beatles. Decades too late. I was a kid when John died.
