What makes you fannish? And by that we mean, what is it about a tv show/movie/book/band/podcast/etc that takes you from, "Yeah, I like that," to "I need MOAR!!!" Is it a character? A plotline? The pretty? Subtext that’s just screaming to be acknowledged?
In your own space, tell us what it is that gets you to cross that line into fandom.

I'm not very fannish, actually. I wrote about my journey into fandom last year. I watch a lot of TV shows but I was never so obsessed with one to call myself a fan and wishing to create things for or about it.

There are a lot of bands that I love but don't feel like reading fic about (or only found bad fic for), and I found out about bandom through authors, not the other way round. But fic and the fans on the web made me curious about the real persons behind the stories.
So last year I saw Adam Lambert and Queen live and Fall Out Boy in concert, I'm following the former MCR guys on twitter and I would have gone to see Gerard Way and Frank Iero if they would have come to a venue near me.

When I create myself, fic or art, I need to feel something about the characters I write. And in art I do have to find the people at least a bit attractive.

Lately I've been disappointed a lot of times because none of the bands I would like to go and see live was coming anywhere near me since I had become interested in bandom-bands. To be fair, they all played here BEFORE. But not last year when I would have bought a ticket.

So I had been waiting excitedly for tour news, only to be disappointed. Again and again. 5 times actually, hence the title of this post. With one exception!

  • Current Location: too far away
  • Current Music: "Who wants to live forever" - Queen
