Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

Or some combo in between?

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

My main fandoms I stick around a long time and have a hard time finding replacements. Was Star Wars and Potter for the longest time, now Star Wars and Tolkien. Other ones I've stuck around a long time too. I occasionally add new ones, but I've only usually had a couple big fandoms, and I rarely add to those.

there were a couple fandoms I was only in briefly, but usually that was because I was interested in a single character (American Horror Story- Michael Langdon), and that interest never developed into a full fandom love.

Or Dungeons and Dragons and the Honor Among Thieves movie where it was just the one movie. I think I'd dive back in in a heartbeat if we got a sequel/prequel/whatever.

It's changed as I aged into midlife. There's less media that hits me in the fannish feels.

And when I do get excited, I venture into my OG fandom or my newest obsession, and I show up with my hardcore YAYYYY, and I get crushed under a pile of negativity for whatever enthusiasm I'm enjoying or displaying, and then I come to my senses and take the nearest exit and go make things IRL.

The last time I got really fannish, it was over an older, somewhat obscure book series someone obliquely recced here. But there was no fandom, and everything about it was problematic by today's standards, so I enjoyed the brief flare of joy and moved on.

I've been with the Sonic fandom since 1991 and I ain't moving from my chair no matter how ugly the shipping gets.

Same with TMNT, since 1987, and I've enjoyed almost every iteration (except 2012, the animation is weird).

What if the Sonic creators were outed as a Nazis. And shipping wars became quaint annoyances compared to the general backlash against participation in the fandom overall.

Hypothetically speaking lol.

Then yeah, drop like a hot potato. I ain't afraid to drop something if the author or creator outs themselves as transphobic/nazi-aligned, etc.

35 years of your passion and fannish identity, gone in a poof.

Damn, I wish I was wired that way.

Human rights are more important than content. I wish people could understand that.

I hope you get to enjoy your 1987 and 1991 fandoms for the rest of your life. Truly.

What does a shitty creator have to do with fanworks? They're not profiting.

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

Fan works still keep the content of the original in the public eye. ie Harry Potter fans doing their thing while Rowling is being a terrible human being

For me it depends on whether I'm happy with what canon itself gives me. If I'm satisfied with that, then I really don't feel any desire to stick around in the fandom once canon itself is over.

For example, I loved FMA and I was super into the fandom while it was running, but I felt that the ending of the manga really wrapped things up nicely and there wasn't anything left that I felt hadn't already been explored to a degree that I was perfectly happy with. So I pretty much dropped that fandom once the manga finished.

And then there are other canons where I feel like there was a lot that was left open-ended or unanswered, so those I tend to stick around in until I've read/written all of the things that I wanted to see in canon that didn't happen.

When I was younger I stuck to my fandoms for years, but I've been cycling most of my most recent ones for a while now.
I got into comics, which is always a mess, but especially since I started from the beginning and sorta went on a hiatus once I got to the years around when I was born... (so everything continues to be about five worlds away, on the off chance anyone has read anything at all) I haven't found a fandom I've really been able to sink my teeth into aside from that in years though. So hop around, I will!
