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.

I'm a weird person who never drops comms (though I read on a 90% comm-free filter, so it's a non issue for me), but I totally know what you mean. Fandom for me is like some kind of dance where you twirl and intersect with new and familiar people before circling around again. Most times it's great, sometimes it's 'ugh, omg, why didn't you find another fandom to play in?'

btw that metaphor/gif thing here with Teen Wolf: so accurate it hurts. OMG. *shakes head fondly*

I use a filter too... but I just had a look at some of these comms and some haven't been updated in a few years and others I would either never look at them again in all honesty or don't remember why I joined in the first place.

What's really funny is I tried to leave a comm I didn't remember setting up! It wouldn't let me because I was the owner... hah!

*sighs* I'm totally just standing here, waving my arms and wondering what the hell happened.
