Stop, meme time...
Tell me you want to play and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. Then update your journal and answer the following questions.
zinke gave me Eureka, BSG and Fringe
Eureka:
What got you into this fandom in the first place? I think this is one of the ones my brother got me started on. I don't know why I didn't watch the first season as it aired - I was still watching SciFi back then - but I didn't start watching live until S2.5. Why do I fangirl the show? It's adorable, quirky, smart and full of great characters.
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on? I will always love "Eureka" but I'm not sure I'm really even 'in the fandom' now.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc? I have some favorite moments, but this is one of the few shows where I can't single out specific episodes as favorites.
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)? Occasionally. I haven't done much fandom-wise for "Eureka" even though I love it, in part because I tend to write to 'fix' things and I haven't felt the need to here. This season though (premiered last night) might need discussing.
Do you think more people should get into this fandom? Yes, though actually it has really strong ratings for a cable show (Frak You SyFy), the fandom seems pretty small.
BSG
What got you into this fandom in the first place? Partial credit for this one goes, again, to my brother. I meant to watch the miniseries live, but ended up missing it and never getting into the show. Then he was talking up S2 and I got spoiled for the S2 finale, but I decided to try it anyways. What really got me into the fandom aspect of BSG was the lovely ladies of btlstr_hiatusca and their awesome spoiler free rewatch posts/discussions between S2 and S3.
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on? I've pretty much moved on from this fandom already. The bitter disappointment I felt towards the finale made it very hard for me to continue to play in the sandbox and the lack of inspiration bled over into my participation in other fandoms.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc? "Unfinished Business" (which I'm sure surprises nobody) and much of S1 and S2.
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)? Not any more, but for a while we had a pretty intense relationship.
Do you think more people should get into this fandom? I'm torn on this, because for me knowing how it ends (with a self-contradictory, narcissistic whimper) makes it hard for me to recommend. However, I know there's a bit of YMMV going on with how people view the finale and the early parts of the show are pretty impressive.
Fringe
What got you into this fandom in the first place? "Fringe" has always been on my list of shows to watch, but up until recently it had always been on directly opposite something else I had been watching first. Why start now? Because dianora2 was always talking about it and I didn't want to be spoiled if this turns out to be the final season.
Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on? I'll probably move on eventually because the fandom seems to be pretty small and quiet and while I really like/enjoy the show I don't LOVE it in a way that will make me cling to it.
Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc? "Brown Betty", "Jacksonville", "Subject 13", and "Making Angels" come to mind.
Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)? Yes, I've done a little bit of everything in this fandom.
Do you think more people should get into this fandom? 100% Yes! 1 - John Noble is AMAZING! And Funny! 2 - The characters talk to each other - no, really there are converations about relationships!
