I think most fandom people are very polyamorous in their likes and won't hold it against you if you like new things. Heck, they probably like a few of them as well.

[making-excuses.livejournal.com]

I actually prefer it when people talk about different fandoms. I can't see anything wrong with discovering new things and talking about them... And on a purely selfish note I might actually discover something awesome I wouldn't have otherwise...

[(Anonymous)]

this. without my flist, I would have never known about Doctor Who, Merlin, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Calm down. If it bothers them that much to see other fandom stuff, they'll just unfriend you, remove you from their notifications, or ignore the posts in question. Most people don't experience unjustified rage at really minor things, and if they do, they aren't worth your time.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, I'll back you up on this. I get irritated when someone I'm following fandom-hops every three seconds. I'd much prefer to follow a specialised journal than a general journal that spams my list with new shit every other minute.

[inkedfeathers.livejournal.com]

Intoxicated gnat! Brilliant.

Sounds a bit like me, but then again, I like things in cycles. I'll go through a period of EEEEE, THIS SERIES, then a preiod of EEEEE, THAT SERIES, then back to EEE, THIS SERIES oh, but also THAT SERIES AND THIS OTHER NEW SERIES~~~!

If your friends like you for you, hopefully, it won't be so bad, and you can all still be friends, even though you have different interests? If not... you can always tell them that if they only liked you for xyz fandom, that you've moved on, and won't hold grudges if they decide to defriend you now!

[elipie.livejournal.com]

I totally understand where you're coming from, anon. I just entered a new fandom after being super involved in one for about a year, and my new fandom is... one that gets a lot of judgment, so at first I was constantly afraid of alienating the friends I've made through other fandoms because of it. Turns out more of them are becoming interested in my new fandom than recoiling from it because people on their flist are showing so much interest in it.

TL;DR: Some people on your flist might be irritated, but just as many if not more might end up getting pimped into your new fandoms!

[daisysusan.livejournal.com]

OMG HI ELI I STILL LOVE YOU DESPITE YOUR RIDIC NEW FANDOM.

(See, anon? This is probably what your friends will do. I was seriously going to comment here saying that there's nothing wrong with bouncing around between interests; if people genuinely like you they'll either take a cursory interest out of friendship -- and then who knows, they might fall in love with it -- or mock you with love. Okay, probably not the latter. But even so, bouncing between fandoms isn't something that gets a lot of hate, at least not in the places I hang out. And you might even discover that some of your flisters like the other things as well!)

[fivil.livejournal.com]

If your flisters are like me, they'll understand. I know I myself jump from one thing to another.. I never abandon something completely (unless it suddenly begins to piss me off/gets really crappy for some reason) and anyway, I like reading people get excited over stuff, no matter what it is. And people do adopt new things and new fandoms because they see mentions/recommendations of them on their flist, so squee away!

[(Anonymous)]

I've thought about that too. I tend to get all excited over a new fandom every year or so, and I have an flist that has people from all different fandoms, and while I try to stress an attitude of 'you can always take me off your reading list for any reason, even if we just don't like the same things anymore!', I still feel bad when I switch it up and start posting about something I know no one else cares about.

I mean, I think it's perfectly valid if you want to start a new LJ for each new fandom. Otherwise I think you just have to decide to do whatever you do on your own LJ and if people don't want to see it, well, it's up to them to take care of themselves and their own viewing habits.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

I've followed people for specific fandoms and I'll usually stick around even if they move on as long as there's something keeping me there - they're funny, they're insightful, I like them a lot, etc. (I've had some friends like this who, after years, had their interest rekindled in our old shared fandom and it's very fun) I'll almost certainly stick around if they have other interests I don't care about but they continue to share my fandom as well.
And other times I quit following, either because there was nothing else there or the person just keeps spamming and spamming tons and tons of stuff about the fandom(s) I don't care about. As long as you're cool with that and don't take it personally, and preferably open about being cool about it, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

[tamabonotchi.livejournal.com]

I do what you do, op- I'll be in a dedicated fandom but at most it has only lasted little over a year before I find something new and get into that- and I can't seem to find the energy to be about previous fandoms anymore. I don't have many fandom friends, though, so I don't get that feeling of alienating them.

[emobus.livejournal.com]

What's your current fandom? The thesaurus?

[(Anonymous)]

I would love the hell out of that fandom if it existed.

[theprincesslime.livejournal.com]

Think of all the shipping of... words! Synonyms, antonyms (omg the opposite attracts chemistry there would be awesome)

[ladyknightanka.livejournal.com]

I used to be this way, but actually, I think letting myself get a bit more emotionally invested in a fandom and its fans helped me. Having people to talk to often about the fandom kept me interested and, even though some people have moved out of the fandom in question, we still feel close. Sure, we try to get one another into our new fandoms. Sometimes we're successful and sometimes we're not, but even if we move on, that's okay, because we're not moving on from one another. It's the first time (in fandom, online, not irl) I've been close to people for years without ever feeling estranged.

tl;dr - talk to your fandom friends about this and I'm sure you'll find they still like you, even if you change fandoms.

[kimchiburger.livejournal.com]

Oh man, it's like you're describing me. Though I do come back to it depending on what triggers my interest and/or nostalgia. Like I was super into comics and then I got suckered back into anime, then played games for a while, and now I'm pretty much in fandom limbo until the next update of something drags me in.

I had a handful of friends who were VERY dedicated to their fandom of choice. It made talking to them difficult when they were into something I wasn't because I'm too passive aggressive to tell them to shut the fuck up. :(

[radges.livejournal.com]

If your friends really like you I'm sure that they'll stay even if they don't like all your fandoms...

[dentedsky.livejournal.com]

This is me. I can't believe that in the beginning I promised myself I wouldn't make any friends in my newest fandom. It didn't work.

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, I'm like that too. Once upon a time I thought I'd always and exclusively be in the Jak and Daxter-fandom, but I've been wandering through dozens of fandoms since.

[carnillvious.livejournal.com]

Omg Jak and Daxter yes~~~

[interstellar.livejournal.com]

I can understand where it's coming from, but I think you're worrying too much. What's the worst thing that can happen, they defriend you?

[artemis10002000]

I can understand where you're coming from, anon. When my main fandom interest changed, I was worried I would annoy my flist with squee they couldn't care less about. All these "my friends hate me for my new fandom" secrets are intimidating.

But in the end, it's your journal, a reflection of your interests and thoughts. Post whatever you enjoy. If you feel it's going to be too spammy you always have the option to create fandom filters. You might lose people who are only on your flist for the fannish content, but what's the loss if you've got nothing in common with them anymore, no hard feelings

[(Anonymous)]

I do the same thing, I start out liking things and then it starts going in a different way than it's going in my head and i'm like LOL PEACE OUT
