(Anonymous) 2012-03-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)Primary fandoms: Cult movies ( Labyrinth, Rocky Horror Picture Show, ect. ) , Harry Potter, Charmed, The Vampire Diaries, basically anything fantasy/sci-fi or 'trashy' teen angst tv supernatural dramas.
How has fandom affected your life?: I've met most of my friends over the years through a shared fandom interest. However, I tend to keep fandom separate from my professional life & I make a point of not bringing it up with my sports fanatic friends. The long & short of it, I compartmentalize. Other than that, one fandom tends to lead to another for me ( ex: my current big fandom is Once Upon a Time, & that lead me to going back & re-watching & re-entering the fandom for Stargate:Universe. )
How do you think new advances in technology/social media (Facebook, twitter, LJ, tumblr etc) have changed fandom? For better or worse?: I'd say it's a little bit of give & take on this issue. On the one hand, it's made it extra hard to avoid spoilers. Yet, with social media, it's also opened up the whole process of making an episode or creating a film for the public to enjoy. I think some of the best use of social media out there comes via Youtube, in particular reference to on-location vlogs or impromptu interviews. In particular, I'm thinking of all the stuff for 'The Hobbit'. Just little tastes of what to come so that when you see the finished product, it's not just a visual feast for your eyes, you actually feel more invested in the whole of the movie/tv show/ect. I love the inter-connectivity of social media but it can be applied poorly as well. I think Twitter has a big problem of people feeling entitled, when it comes to Q&A sessions via the platform. Twitter to me, also kind of breaches the fine-line the public can walk with a 'star' ( be it in movies or film ). I'm sure someone can only stand so many 'questions' about, 'will you look at my fan-video' or 'Wish Me a Happy Birthday' before they go, ...why am I doing this again? But to end & get off my little-soap box, I think it's an even split & hasn't made fandom better & I might say I'm leaning more towards, it's made it marginally worse.
How do you think current technology advances have changed how fandom interacts with the creators of the media of fandom?: I would direct you to my above repy, in response to Twitter. I think it's great that more people have access to the 'brain-trust' but I think certain protocol & unspoken rules should be put in place. The anonymity the internet can offer is a powerful tool & I'd hate to see it used for ill-conceited/selfish means. I'd also like it very much if people would stop using the baser good most people exhibit to exploit them for individualized attention ( a`la birthday wishes, or things of the like ). I know it sounds heartless to say it but I'll just go ahead & say - it makes you seem needy & these people would be better served answering relevant QUESTIONS rather than adhering to your passing whim or your fan(girl/boy/alien,ect.) - wet dream.
I went off on this survey a little bit & I didn't mean to. Feel free to use bracket quotes to make my thoughts/words seem less bitchy. Although, whether you even use this or not is up to you.
At the very least, I hope you've gleamed/learned something that might be of use to you from having read/scanned this.
Best Regards,
