Wanted: One fandom. Well-used...

[jasmasson]

I need a new fandom to make me happy. I’ve got JoBros but the problem is that SPN has completely spoiled me, because it was such a huge fandom, with new fuel for the fire weekly for most of the year. There was always something to keep me going, but JoBros is so small and I was too late t be a member of CUF, so I don’t get a lot of delicious JoBros goodness delivered to my flist. :(

How’s fandom life for you? What shall I go into to supplement my JoBros love? Fandom specifications, 1) A strong, interesting relationship with slashy subtext (that’s just the way I roll) 2) I like a little angst, but not unrelenting – just enough for a good level of intensity 3) I must find at least one of the ‘ship characters very, VERY attractive.

Candidates for me right now (and why I’m not in really in them yet) are – Leverage (perhaps not intense enough for me?), Merlin (see Leverage), NCIS ( I’m not really very attracted to any of them), White Collar (see NCIS – I KNOW! He’s so PRETTY! I dun understand why my hormones are not cooperating!!), Criminal Minds (too ensemble based – none of the real relationship focus that I need), Sherlock Holmes (I need more fuel than a one-off film).

SPN has totally spoiled me *pouts*! What I really need is to just go back to 2006! Then I could be squeeing to my heart’s content! ;)

Help me, Flist! What should I get into?

I still love SPN, because, well, it's my fandom home. I'm not a huge fan of this apocalypse storyline, largely because I would really just prefer Sam and Dean MAN UP and put their respective shit on the table instead of sulking for another season, but hey. Men are idiots occasionally.

That said, I've been adding to my fandom stuff a little lately, because... well... writing the same four characters for three years got a little boring. I've been dabbling in AI, largely because I find Adam Lambert an interesting character to try to write effectively, and because I think the Kris/Adam relationship is deliciously interesting - what can I say, I'm a sucker for best friend pairings - but I feel like White Collar and I might have something in common because, um, Neal Caffrey is kind of the best thing since sliced bread. Just saying.

I still love SPN... I just want it to be four years ago. *g*

Adam Lambert is terribly adorable and so is Kris... but I completely missed AI, not being 'A'merican! Neal Caffrey is adorable, though. I really think I'm not quite there in that fandom because Peter's married. But his wife is gorgeous... so maybe I can work with that! ;)

I will fully admit to not having watched a single second of AI; I can't handle the show itself, largely because the judges drive me crazy. But they do tons of joint interviews, etc. and you can get just about all the good bits on youtube. It's totally possible to be in AI fandom without watching AI; tons of people do it! :)

Also, I think WC is the first fandom I've found where the primary pairing seems to be a threesome; Peter/Neal/Elizabeth is happy OT3 land! :D
