*taps mic* Is this thing still on?

[stoney321]

Hello! I'm coming out of my self-imposed blackout because I'm just about finished with my deadlines and feel like I can breathe again. WHEW.

1. WALKING DEAD. Holy darkness. I know a lot of people have stopped watching, which is baffling to me. To each his own, I know, but the character arcs are finally paying off in a huge way. This is a long con

Oh, that's fine! i'm not talking about LJ, but just chatting here about statistics for a website that I write for, that's all. The scope for readership is much broader there, so I'm analyzing data and coming to conclusions. :)

*hugs*

You are always interesting to me....I just ain't watching the show.

[stoney321]

Oh, but you wouldn't be who I'm referring to, though. <3 I had good readership with fellow fans for S3, and it's just dropped off significantly. I mean, numbers don't lie, I just have to figure out what the truth is, you know?

*points up* This. I don't have the cable network that GoT is aired on and I Don't Do zombies. Or infectious viruses or whatever the party line for TWD is. I'll have nightmares on top of nightmares over that show. *firmnod*

That being said, when you were doing Hoarders reviews, I was reading those regularly. I don't know if the show is still on break or if it got canceled or what but I haven't noticed any new episodes (I'm also working and in school, so you know, sleep is a Thing, too), or I'd be coming over to read your thoughts about that.

Lots of my friends Don't Do Zombies, so I totally get that! NO SELF-INDUCED NIGHTMARES, THAT'S A GOOD POLICY.

Hoarders has been canceled, which is so sad to me, because it did real good. I *still* get comments from people who can't let certain stories go, who want to know about the hoarder. Matt is working on something Top Secret, so I have my fingers crossed for him. (And for those of us who loved the show!)

Okay, I have thoughts on this as I'm a rabid fan of TWD

[stoney321]

THE SHOW IS EXHAUSTING. I think we've hit on the problem!! :D

OMG, if Daryl died, the fandom would retreat en masse! (ME INCLUDED.) People really ship Daryl and Carol, though, which is great and kind of interesting to me in that I don't really see either of them as sexual. I'm all over their bro-ship.

OOOOOOOOOH, TALKING DEAD IS A GREAT POINT. Really. Huh.

re: PS: I did!! And I had the same reaction as you, ha! (And the actress who plays Tara was on this week, and no one really cares about her, and she had LOADS to say. Hahaha.)

re: PPS: YOU SHOULD WATCH FOR THE ACTORS. Holy smokes, they have turned it to 11 this back half of the season, one actor in particular. I can't look away. Bonus: I re-read all the Anne books to get the lingo in my head, which is always a great way to pass the time. :D

HI POSH. (hugs you tight)

It's really hard to write into a void. Fandom is so spread out these days. Back In The Day the Buffy fandom was concentrated in a few quality archives and discussion places, we all shared the good stuff and cross-linked, and it was easy to catch the content and stay up to date.

I haven't been captured by another fandom like I was with Buffy, but I imagine now the community is so broad and so diffuse that there would be these little dead-end niches just everywhere.

But I'm absolutely certain that your writing is as witty and deep as ever, and I'd first be checking the appeal of the show.

[stoney321]

Man, I was just referring to the Buffy days as the "Golden Age of Fandom," and I truly believe that's accurate. SUCH GOOD TIMES.

*leans against you* You're one of the very first LJ friends I ever made, did you know that? *hugs you* <3 <3 <3
