You know what I miss? Being a part of a large, active fandom, full of fic, and vids, and wanking and all that good stuff. Every single thing I've become enamored with in the past several years since the end of Angel has been pretty small potatoes--The Shield, Band of Brothers, Hot Fuzz, Flight of the Conchords etc. Right now, I guess my fandom is Cary Grant. Except, there doesn't seem to be a thriving Cary Grant fandom full active members writing long RPS about Grant/Randoph Scott, or making fun Bringing up Baby vids. I mean, in the past few days I've watch Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, Topper, and The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer and I'd love to discuss or squee, but I don't even know who would care. And Cary Grant is so pretty!
And it's my own fault. I could get involved with Doctor Who, but honestly, those people scare me. A lot. I could get more involved with The Beatles fandom, but those people scare me, too. On top of that, while I will always love them, I'm not really all fangirly passionate about them. I don't like Smallville, Supernatural, or Heroes which would probably be my best bet for a television fandom. And I can't even consider The Drk Knight because I'd feel like if I'm not totally submerging myself in comics and Batman: The Animated Series I'd be doing it wrong. I've never read Harry Potter or Twilight and I never, ever will. Actually, book fandoms seem to be a non-starter for me, because I don't like to read the kind of books that would encourage large, active fandoms.
I guess, really, I miss that rush of falling in love with something really great, and then sharing that rush with a bunch of like-minded people.
I had other stuff I wanted to post. Things that come to my mind, but end up drifting away again. It's frustrating as hell. My memory has been very poor, lately. It's really rather annoying.
