Holy shit another Coldfire fan! And I would definitely consider history a fandom but as a fellow history nerd, perhaps I'm biased.
Also Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed are awesome.

Friends :D?

Hellz yah! Dude, us Coldfire fans are few and far between- I would love to add you!

Also, awesome icon ;D

I know right! I think I know like...2 others irl and a sparse handful on the intarwebz. Added!

All I have is my mom and a co-worker... *laugh* So it's nice to add you :)

:o I've suggested them to my mom before but she just doesn't ever pick them up. But I think having her suddenly in on all of the "lol Gerald and Damien..." jokes my friends and I go on about would be a little disturbing. Although who knows, maybe my mom would ship them too.

My mother was actually the person to recomend them to me! She was proud when I picked up on the homoerotic parts, although she firmly belives that they never 'loved' each other. But to each their own, I guess!

I read a historical fiction series called The Lymond Chronicles that was like that. My mom suggested those to me, and after I finished 2/6 she goes "So did you pick up on what's going on between Lymond and so-and-so?" I didn't know how to respond to that kind of question coming from my mother so I was just like "Uhhhh. Yeah?" So given that episode I'm fairly certain she'd pick it up in Coldfire too.

Is there any particular type/era of history you're interested in?? If you like 1500s European history those Lymond books are fantastic.

Hmm, sound's interesting! I'll google those books right away :D

I find it entertaining that you asked me this question as I am watching a show on the Medici family xD

My main area is the Classics- so Ancient Greece. I am also really into the Renaissance but that is just a side passion of mine. I'm working on my history degree right now and I hope to go all the way up to my PhD in Classics :) I also deal heavily with sexuality, specifically homosexuality and its influence on different cultures :D I've taught panels at Yaoi conventions and I often write papers up, just for kicks. You should see my library xD

I think Coldfire and Classics nerds must go together, because my friend in Tallahassee is studying Classics as well!

XD I love hearing about what kinds of things history nerds are interested in. There's such a wide range of stuff, areas and eras and topics. Personally I love military history, Imperial Rome, anything Russian, and the 14th Century Black Death. So my library is a fairly weird and diverse bunch of books too.

Ah, I'm more into the romantic and artists aspect I guess- although nothing like a good war to get you excited! I must admit I tend to shy away from history that is incredibly political, so military history isn't really my thing. Not that I don't find it interesting, but I don't curl up with a good book on Russian politics!

The 14th Century Black Death is always interesting though- something about so many people dying really seems to capture a lot of peoples imaginations for some strange reason! xD I actually have to read a book on death and the plague for my Reformation course :D

Despite my International Affairs degree I'm actually not that interested in political stuff either, except when it's in the context of military stuff like invasions and wars and all that good stuff. I'm an Air Force brat so I'm blaming that for my military fascination.

XD That's really true. I've been interested in it since I was in like 3rd grade and read something about it in a book I had. It's really interesting when you think about what an effect it had on just about everything back then.
