Migration

I've been dropping most of the Stargate and Supernatural comms from my flist over the last few days. Some because they've just become inactive but also because I don't tend to write/read in those fandoms anymore. I've had the S6 DVDs of Supernatural and the last season of Atlantis for ages now and haven't watched which should probably tell me something about my interest level.

I'm still writing a couple of things for SPN (requests, spn_j2_xmas and the LOOOOONG overdue charity fic) but I'm not seeking any fic to really read. I feel like I've lost touch with the canon, that I'd happily rewatch the early seasons of SPN, probably sooner than I would watch new current eps. I still have a deep and abiding love for S1-4ish Sam n' Dean.

What's got me excited is that I've had a lot of folks where our fandom circles stopped intersecting that have cycled back into an overlapping orbit because of Avengers and Teen Wolf. It's like re-embracing old friends even though they are (relatively) new fandoms. I don't really tend to shed people when our fandom interests stop aligning but I totally understand peeps that did join my crazy train for the SG and the SPN (especially Stargate) bidding a (hopefully) fond farewell.

Ugh, Teen Wolf. It feels like I meant to just shake it a little to get a single candy bar out and then this happened.

Being part of a current fandom is pretty damn awesome. I'm enjoying the hell out of Avengers right now, and The Losers, and Show, of course - it's awesome to have all the giddiness and meta and chatter and creativity.

Buffy fandom is still alive and well, just not so spry anymore, heh.

I think that might be my issue - I got into Stargate late, I got into SPN late - it's kinda nice to be in on the ground floor of a couple of fandoms when they are still young and idealistic. :D

Heeee. Idealistic.
Yeah, being in on the ground floor is pretty damn fun.

I still really like SG:A - i've never written (though i'd like to) but there's so much excellent fic. I adore sci-fi, so stuff like that will always attract me.
