Fandom Relationship Issues

I need to stop jumping into bed with every fandom that bats its eyelashes at me.

I mean, not that it isn't great, every time, but I want more than just a quick roll in the hay. I want to have a relationship, I want to know my fandom inside out. I want to go to sleep knowing it'll be there in the morning, waiting with more awesome to make me happy.

I thought Doctor Who could be The One for me. We get along brilliantly, and David Tennant is the hottest man alive. But maybe I'm really just going for the looks here. I've met this other fandom now, and I'm feeling this spark that wasn't really there since House fandom had its identity crisis and broke up with me. The new one has its faults - it's tiny, and many writers are newbies writing newbie fic, and also, the canon consists of a total of 16 episodes - and maybe it's just my over-enthusiasm striking again. But maybe it isn't. Maybe Life on Mars fandom and I have something we can work with.

Don't worry, I won't be abandoning my old friends. I still love you, Doctor Who, and I still wish you'd work out your problems and come back to me, House. I'll be around. Friendship is stronger than love, they say, right?

So there are a lot of other fandoms out there and they sound interesting for me. If I would have the time I would watch a few other shows but well all the stuff time by time (first I will watch Dr. Who at the next after that Torchwood I guess) but there are so much fanfiction about so much shows out there in the www. Arrgh Readingstuff for the rest of my life and I really wished I could buy the DVD's to "The Sentinel". If you know a place (amazon.com doesn't delivers that stuff to Germany) please tell me. In the next week I will have the days off (I must have to take my Rest-vacation from 2007) and maybe I can start watching Dr. Who and maybe I can make new friends.

Sorry, no idea where you could get Sentinel from :(. Except, you know, the internet. Maybe you can find a download comm somewhere?

And yay for watching Doctor Who! Season 4 is about to air :DDDD!!

I'm a fandom ho. D:

But for the last year I've been steadily truer and truer to X-Files.

My problem is that I'm always afraid I'm missing out on stuff. So I never take time to really get invested, because I totally need to check out this new shiny fandom everybody's talking about.

Having a steady fandom is awesome. To think now that I actually spent 4 frigging years in Enterprise fandom makes me boggle xD.

I know I haven't sent you an email in a while, but I just had to comment on this. ^_^ This was probably the cutest entry ever.

AND. I absolutely LOVE Life On Mars. It's just... perfection. I don't really get involved in the fandom side of it too much, and I've only skimmed over a few fic, but this show owns my heart. I never cry at anything. Like ever. And after the series finale, I cried my freaking eyes out. Pretty much on and off for the entire day. Then I watched it on two different occassions with a friend and my mom, and I cried AGAIN. After I had already seen it. I actually really freaked my mom out, because she couldn't remember the last time she had seen me cry over anything, let alone over a television show.
Basically, Sam Tyler = ♥

But now that I've written you a novel, let me just say that I fully support your fandom mood swings. Especially when you write such cute LJ entries about it. ;]

Lol, don't worry about sending emails. I'm the worst person ever when it comes to keeping in contact via email or mail, so I understand perfectly xD.

OMG LIFE ON MARS. The finale made me squee with glee. Every single time. I've watched the show three times so far, and eeeh. So much glee. I'm currently in the process of writing LONG META about the finale and the show in general. Be sure to keep an eye out! Or not, lol xD.

Also, I'm involved in setting up a fic archive. It'll be going live soon, so fic will be easier to find! :D

As you can see, I'm doing everything to make this the steady relationship I'm looking for, lol xD. And thanks for putting up for my ever-changing fandom tastes! So far, ours seem to be quite similar, anyway :D.
