The tres adorable eula_tequila tagged me for this meme.
1) Total number of fandoms I like:
Tibetan ceremonial fans, handheld electric fans that provide little relief from heat and make the holders look comical, paper folding fans, huge ass fans that are used to fan corrupt languorous emperors, deadly iron fans, showgirl fans made of brightly-colored puffy feathers, creaky ceiling fans. That’s a total of 7 fandoms.
2) My first fandom ever:
A sandalwood fan.
3) My most recent fandom:
An upright electric fan I bought at Wal-Mart.
4) Five fandoms that currently mean a lot to me:
The cooling fans in my computer.
Okay, the meme, for real now.
1) Total number of fandoms I like:
Hmmm. Lemme think…Oh yeah. Zero. Fandom is a scary place, ah tell you whut.
2) My first fandom ever:
The X-Files. I was searching for stuff about Mitch Pileggi and one thing led to another and another and another…
3) My most recent fandom:
Harry Potter.
4) Five fandoms that currently mean a lot to me:
Only one fandom means anything to me and that is Harry Potter, because I met some awesome people through it.

Since I’m on a Harry Potter tangent…
With the recent revelation of Deep Throat’s identity, investigative journalism fever is in the air and reporters from rival British tabloids, the Daily Mirror and The Sun had caught the bug.
In a fierce bid to become the Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of children’s fantasy publishing world, reporters from both tabloids claimed to be responsible for foiling the sale of stolen copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The Sun’s reporter will probably be the one to get most of credit since he was the one who got shot at. After he snatched the book without paying the princely sum of £50,000 and ran.
Askill writes: "[It was] one of the most frightening in my 28 years as a Sun reporter. But I was hit by the ridiculous irony that having been in war-torn Afghanistan and Kosovo, I should be shot for the sake of a Harry Potter novel."
I also think it’s ironic that the surname Askill contains the word kill.
Presumably the two books now reside in plastic baggies marked “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit B” “in secure circumstances” at a Northamptonshire police station, and are not being passed around among Potter-loving bobbies.
Both the Daily Mirror and The Sun have exclusives of Pottergate.
Some people are betting that the major character to be killed off is Dumbledore. I don’t know…I like the Longbottom kid for this. “But you’d only read until the third book, detective. Are you sure about this?” “No, I’m not sure. But my gut is.” “Maybe it’s the double cheese pizza talking.”
