Ach, we whine of older days

[roxy]

I've decided that I'm fandom Kryptonite. Whenever I friend someone in a fandom, usually under a month, they've skipped the old fandom and gone on to a new one. I believe I might have been responsible for the mass migration of SV writers to SGA...sorry about that. Now while this is a tragedy for my wanna be reading my flavor-of-fic self, I've met wonderfully nice people who stay friended to me even after they wander off to greener pastures. This in turn made me realize that while I'll friend someone for really good stories, the really good writers are also very interesting, funny, *nice* people--or maybe I'm just really lucky in that way.

Come closer, I've got candy. Just to show my appreciation and my fondness for you....

i hope you have fannie mae trinidads and truffles! or maybe a chunky bar. :)

i remember when everyone took off for SGA, and then SPN, and then i was outta there and i don't even know what happened. but i'm an awful flibbertigibbet and gad around fandoms like a ho.

nice wings on that icon!

sometimes I wish I wasn't so mono-fandom. It's too sad when everyone leaves. It's *hard* for me to shift fandoms too. Look how long I wrote SV! And I still want to write it from time to time but on my terms--Whit/Clark, Lucas/Lex, stuff like that. When no one's in the pool you can swim anyway you like!

And btw, thanks for making me crave Chunkys--ha! Like chocolate and nuts aren't bullets to my grumpy old intestinal tract. *pouts*

how do see the sv fandom responding to the end of the series? i've been in several fandoms that were for shows/movies that had been over for quite some time, and there was still a lot to be worked out via fiction. (i loved writing bits of erotica for stephen colbert in Strangers with Candy, about 2 years ago!)

sorry about the chunky lust. i tried to find one at the store today with zero luck. not sure they even make them any more.

my digestion is a mess and has been for a long time. oh roxy, i turn 60 in june! i swear, it'll be time for the old rockin' chair.

[roxy]

You know, I have no idea how to think about turning 60. I won't know how to act! I have a hard time acting my age now, though at the moment everyone is nice enough to go along with it. I think I'm going to dye my hair and get a face lift and a tummy tuck and dermabrasion and....

I think the SV fandom has been dying for a long time. I'm not sure how the end of the series will affect it, but I'm not looking for great things anymore. I do remember Boondock Saints was a pretty active fandom when I came into This Thing of Ours, and that movie had been out for quite a long time. Great stuff--lots of incestuous brother stuff, you know how I roll.

>I think I'm going to dye my hair and get a face lift and a tummy tuck and dermabrasion and....

the temptation is there! but i'm also going to become a grandmother for the first time this summer, so i figure, fuck it. i'll just look old!

oops, i dropped an f-bomb. delete this, if you like. ;)

[roxy]

oh my! Congrats, you! Yeah, no work--we don't want to be Joan Rivers grandmas.

I apparently have a grand dog...*shrugs* world's a weird place anymore. ;)

[danceswithgary]

I haven't split up with SV, we're just taking a break. :-P

[roxy]

LOL! Oh, okay--that's better, then.

I'm still taking phone calls, they just don't come as frequent. ;)

Some of us never really leave the fandoms -- I still think of myself as mainly a fan of Forever Knight, which has been off the air for almost two decades. And, of course, having a crossover brain means never having to say, "I'm done with these characters." LOL

For instance, I just posted a Smallville/Pokemon/Sherlock(BBC) crossover here:
http://sherlock-flashfic.dreamwidth.org/14928.html
So far it has 0 comments -- I like to think that all the Sherlock fans are just looking at it like so:
o_O

*giggles* I'm so glad I clicked on the link! Much fun! XD

And yeah, I'm pretty sure all the Sherlock fans are making that face but as a SV fan, I loved it!

[roxy]

Yeah, even though I've been in SpN for a while, I still think of myself as an SV writer, really. I loved those guys longer than anyone else. And crossovers are chocolate, true! :)

[jesseofthenorth]

So it's YOUR fault!
I was faithful for years! I friend you next thing I know I'm cheating on Sam&Dean and the J's!
Does this mean you are also omnipotent and can cure my laziness?

[roxy]

OMG, IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS TALKING TO YOU I WAS DIRECTLY TALKING TO YOU AND DISGUISING IT BY SAYING SV!!!

Sadly, I can not cure the lazy (behold my house if you can find it under all this...stuff...) but I can make you feel real good about lazing about and reading teh porn...*GGG*

[me_ya_ri]

Hey, it hardly matters what fandom a person's in when they're as fun as you Roxy! *big hugs* Besides, some of us really don't give up on our characters, even after the flame has gone way down. I'm still writing SV Clark and Lex even as I've drifted into DC comics. Of course, I'm shoving them in with the comics characters because Tom and Mikey are so much more appealing than the comics versions of Clark and Lex... *grins*

*Shoves cookies at you* I'll trade cookies for your candy. ;)

[roxy]

Ooooo! Cookies!!!

*HUGS* Ha, thank you! See, my flist is made up of people who are into different things than me but our personal posts keep us connected. :)

And I've slipped SV characters into my SpN fics--BtVS characters as well. :)
