[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

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?

Re: How many tries/episodes will you give a show before giving up?

[(Anonymous)]

depends. I used to give 'em three. then Heroes happened, in which the first three episodes were pretty shit until the final scene of the third, which was AMAZING, and then I was like ".....fuck" because I absolutely had to keep watching. Luckily, it kept on getting better from there until the first season ended. Alas.

The 3-episode rule made me start and stop Supernatural, and then a few years later I forgot I had before and started it again. I was again unimpressed by the first three, but I had downloaded six and I was lying around sick that day so I went "well, whatever" and kept on watching....and the sixth one totally hooked me. And though that show may have gone down lately, I spent like 2 years happily obsessed with it and I could never ever regret that move

I don't think I've become a "pilot or gtfo" person, but well. This year I got into The IT Crowd, The Unusuals, Downton Abbey, Breaking Bad and Fringe, and every single one of those were working for me within the first episode.
