Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

single, not a ton of non-fandom friends

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

Dead end job, University dropout. I am married and have lots of non-fandom friends though, so I guess that's something.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[blitzwing]

I am funemployed at the moment, but I've been in and out of work since I was 15 and a job has never interfered with my fandom fun. Probably split about even on friends that are in fandom or not. Single (but dating), graduated college.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[badass_tiger]

Single, and I have a lot of non-fandom friends (actually, upon reflection, I don't have any fandom friends right now) who I adore but there are some things I would only tell a bosom friend, if I had one, which I don't.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[ariakas]

Zero. Master's degree, healthy social group, long term relationship, and full time employment over 70K/year with plenty of room for advancement.

I'm also very physically fit, if we're going to lump all nerd stereotypes together.

I was definitely most active in fandom during a period of unemployment and depression, though... And honestly, I don't think that's a bad thing. It gave me something to look forward to every day, and forced me to socialize with other people, even if it was over relatively trivial topics.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

None.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

Most of those. I started getting heavily into fandom because I was scared of college and sick all the time, but my life is now at a point where fandom is becoming less of a healthy coping mechanism and more of a crutch (not that it was all that healthy back then, I abandoned any chance of real success in order to hide in fandom). I couldn't figure out why my life had stopped...working...until I realized that I was approaching everything as if *fandom* was my first priority. Fandom's not real life. It's supposed to be a fun thing you do when you're finished with your grown up responsibilities for the day

Like drinking.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

Unemployed, HS diploma, loser with 2 non-fandom friends.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have few friends period, and I'm single (but probably asexual&aromantic, does that make a difference?). I dropped out of a graduate program, but later finished a less prestigious one. My job is good, though I was dragged kicking and screaming into applying for it.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

Middle manager, two degrees, married with kids, few friends altogether but my bestie isn't in fandom.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[vethica]

Unemployed, and while I wouldn't say I met most of my friends through fandom, they tend to be fannish in some capacity or other. I'm not single and I did go to college, though, so half?

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[nanslice]

I'm single.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

Single (by choice) waitress with a degree in japanese studies (also had a scholarship last year). Got a lot of friends around the world but not too many I can meet and hang out with regularly (only 6 are in my home town rn)
I'm just stuck in my home country trying to collect money to return to school in Japan... It's been a boring year so far and it's going to be worse.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have my assiociate, but dropped out pursuing my bachelors. Everything else is right.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

- I'm employed but at a job I don't really like, but can't find anything else.

- Very few close non-fandom friends, although I have a lot of close acquaintances. TBH I don't think this is a fandom thing.

- Single.

- Nope, have a college degree.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[lady_dragoon]

4-year degree, have job that isn't retail, and while most of my friends are people I've met through fandom, I wouldn't call them "fandom friends" because fandom isn't the only thing that binds us.

Still single, and being in a relationship isn't even on my radar right now.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm newly unemployed, but I was working a retail job prior to that. Also single, and I only ever did one year of community college, so...yeah.

Do have a small group of non-fandom friends, though.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[sabotabby]

None of the above. But I would never presume to judge anyone who fell into any of those categories, and it's hardly like those things are exclusive to fanthings.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[loracarol]

Retail job (part time)/some non-fandom friends, some fandom friends (does it count if you met people and ended up liking the same things, vs. meeting people in fandom?), single, in college rn (wonder if that "balances" the retail job.)

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[amalthia]

I don't fit any of the criteria, I'm married, have a masters, a good job (with benefits) that I love, a best friend in RL who is also in fandom, I am physically active (downhill skiing/hiking). My RL friend has a degree and a good job too. I don't know why people say you can have fandom or a life, but not both.

When I was younger and had no money, fandom was great because all the free stories and meeting people with common interests was great.

Fandom is still great because the stories are still free and I still meet people with common interests...

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

unemployed and few friends (fandom or no) but I'm not single and I've not dropped out of university (yet? pretty close to finishing though). so 50/50.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[(Anonymous)]

Employed part time in a shitty job (but have spent many of my fandom years unemployed)

Few non-fandom friends in my area, though I have plenty of friends that don't live within easy visiting distance.

Single (asexual).

Never went to Uni. Too expensive; grew up poor; plus have a disability which would make it very hard for me to handle more than one or two classes at a time without having a breakdown.


Honestly, if I had a better job and more friends nearby, and was not a bit of an anxious/depressive wreck, I probably would be less into fandom. However, I'm pretty sure the #1 reason I'm here is because I'm autochorissexual. Which is to say that as soon as I hit puberty, shipping became as natural and necessary to me as flirting and dating and hooking up and falling in love are to fully sexual people.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[ninety6tears]

I've got the unemployment.

Re: POLL Re: Transcript by OP

[caerbannog]

I'm single?
