[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I'm bisexual, which obviously isn't a secret. But, weirdly my attraction to a particular gender changes depending on where I am in my cycle. The only time I'm really attracted to men is when I'm ovulating (clever, nature). The rest of the time, I'm all about ladies.

But, more to the point, my tv-watching and fandom participation follows this same damn pattern. I didn't think that I let my hormones rule my life all that much, but wouldn't you know I become more active in fandom when I'm attracted to men.

Not groundbreaking or scandalous or anything, just a little observation about how weird sexuality can be.

this is really interesting! now i'm curious if this happens to anyone else (i'm sure it does) or how many people it happens to.

I AM ALSO LIKE THIS. Less so with the fandom part, but I'm glad it's not just me.

I have this exact problem in relation to shipping! I only give a damn about het when I'm ovulating, otherwise it's femslash all the way. :3

Oh my god, me too! I'm primarily attracted to women, but sometimes it feels like I'm just going back and forth on the Kinsey scale. I've never thought to tie it in with my ovulation cycle, but you may be onto something here, haha.

How attracted I am to men or women varies as well, but I don't think it has anything to do with my cycle, because a "phase" (don't know what else to call it) can last for months.

This is so interesting. I'm like smack down the middle bi, so I'm going to see if there's any trend to who I'm lusting after from now on. I do go through little phases.

Wow. I didn't even realize I was like this until I read this post. Thanks, OP, that's really fascinating to know. Now I'll always know when I'm ovulating, I guess, lol.

I read on cracked.com that this was actually fairly normal, but I can't say I trust much the accuracy of their articles (because of what they choose as sources).

But it's nice seeing that they might not have been far off-mark.
