F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


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 recaptchas 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!

(Today's post is below.)

I don't think one is true. I notice trends among big fandoms, like if someone enjoys X they likely enjoy Y. Which I honestly find annoying as it makes it harder for me to find people with similar interests to me, but that's my own problem. Two....yeah, not true either. I see fun around fandoms all the time.

What the hell is a filk?

Aww, see, case in point. :P It's songs you make up based on other songs, as well as your fandom. I think fun might have been the wrong word though... I mean more silly kind of fun. Like filks. (Although some filks were actually quite serious, and good. There were also a lot of awful filks.)

And I agree that people absolutely do tend to like Y if they already liked X! But I mean... people aren't holding huge Supernatural watchathons, to my knowledge (I may be wrong there), there's not huge conventions just for The Hunger Games (again, unless I'm mistaken), that sort of thing.
