Frankenstein Meme, Day 18

How many fandoms have you written for? How many have you been in, and how many are you still in?

I’m still in all the fandoms for which I’ve written, with the exception of a couple for which I wrote three-sentence fics in the Three Sentence comment ficathon.

(Those include Narnia, The Expanse, and Leverage. All three are fandoms in which I either enjoy or would enjoy reading good fics, while Leverage has some great fanvids. But I just don’t have the overall knowledge of general canon and episode canon to create fic beyond the 3-sentence format.)

The fandom for which I’ve written the most is Doctor Who. I’ve largely written New Who, but I’m also fond of the Third Doctor, Liz Shaw and Jo Grant, so they've gotten some love from me.

I’ve written a number of Sapphire and Steel fics, most of which feature Silver, and a few of which are crossovers with Who. One or two feature non-television Elements, who I’ve come to enjoy thanks to other fic writers.

I love the Vorkosiverse, so I’ve written two or three fics there, and hope to write more.

I think my newest fandom, at least for writing stories, is The Goblin Emperor. I already have more ideas for that universe.

I honestly can’t see myself writing for Guardian, but I’ve learned never to say never.

Earlier questions:

What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?
2. Your newest fandom.
3. You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?
4. What are the origins of your pen name/user name?
5. What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?
6. What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it? Not necessarily your oldest fandom, but a fandom that you started and still continue to read/write/create content for in some way:
7. What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
8. Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
9. What's the hardest thing about writing, and why are titles the Worst™?
10. Do you have a fandom you follow - either regularly or casually - with little to no knowledge of canon?
11. Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.:
12. A ship you have never liked and probably never will
13. Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?
14. A pairing – platonic, romantic or sexual – that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
15. What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?
16. Do you remember your first OTP> Who was in it?
17. What is your favorite source for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I wanna see S&S...just so I can read excellent fic on S&S, lol!

Heh - I got into the fandom ass backward. I read a Who/S&S crossover and its mysterious air just drew me in. Then I got lured by straight S&S fic, a bunch of which was by thisbluespirit. And then I started watching it. Ass backward, as I say, but it turned out to be just as wonderfully silly and creepy and heartfelt as all the fics had suggested it would be.

I hope you get a chance to watch it (it's on YouTube, which is where I watched all six Assignments for free, before being gifted with all the DVD's.) And then you can, along with thisbluespirit and I, experience the Pillow of Evil, the Evil Spot of Light On the Floor, and more! (And you'll also actually believe in the evil of both the pillow and the light on the floor. Really.)
