What exactly is a fandom love? Is a specific fandom, character, ship, or something different? I'm unclear on the terminology.

My first thought was a crush on some other fan in the fandom, but going by the first comment in the general comments, I'm assuming it's not (or maybe a lot more people crush on fellow fans in fannish spaces, idk).

[(Anonymous)]

I'm worried about coming across as being annoying and/or getting no reaction since I'm currently obsessed with a small fandom. :/

[(Anonymous)]

YEAH my obsessions are always old things/small fandoms... I just don't HAVE secrets about big current things.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I have a few secrets in me, but the fandom’s old and not active and I’m worried about being annoying if I submit a bunch of secrets for it.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the secret maker, but I think that would count?

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I am getting lazy and sort of embarrassed to make secrets about most of my fandoms.
Also I am really wary about making secrets after people here dissing a show I love. Or just straight up ignoring.

[(Anonymous)]

YMMV, but F!S seems awfully grouchy, compared to what it used to be like. And, much as I'd like to post about whatever I'm into and geek out about what I love, that "I have no idea if I'd get people being happy alongside me or trying to declare the thing Problematic and the author also" ... puts a damper on wanting to make secrets like that.

Most of what I love is not up for other people to tell me to stop thinking about it or thinking of it fondly. When I come across that kind of attempted manipulation, I tune it out. But I would feel like I brought it on myself if I was going into panfandom spaces and centering my faves, when fandom at large seems to have bought into the idea that abstaining from "immoral" media made by "immoral" people is some sort of general obligation.

I don't mind hearing that people dislike things that I like for their own reasons. But they've got no boundaries and no sense of decency when they try to assert that I have to agree with them.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, OP. My fandom love is 10 years old and I don’t have a new one.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I'm still stuck on the same old fandom, and am not ready or inclined to move on just yet.

[(Anonymous)]

DA but I would guess the demographic here at FS leans that way. I mean here we all are, still obsessed/clinging to an old fandom community. We are just the types to latch on and never let go it seems.

[(Anonymous)]

Another anon

I feel like "lean" is the keyword here. The fandoms I followed 10-15 years don't hold my interest as much these days. I just carry the fandom memories with me.

I get you

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I were into newer/current fandoms, and then could make secrets for them. Sadly nothing is clicking that button in my brain latley.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, OP. I'm another who is mostly in old fandoms. Nothing new has caught my fannish eye.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually did get into a new fandom on a product that is only about a year old, but sorry, anon, I got no hot take secrets for it that would belong on this site.

[(Anonymous)]

I had done that with some YouTube secrets. Actual crickets generated more response than my secrets.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the one YouTube secret I made is also the only one which didn't even get a single reply. Ironically, it sparked a thread in the general comments though.

Are you saying you wish there were more generally-positive secrets vs. generally-negative ones? e.g. someone squeeing about something but making it a secret because they are embarrassed about it or being perceived as "cringe" but want to get it out there anyway? I'm not sure I understand what a "fandom love" is.
