I think I'm in a wanky mood.

Got anything I could wank at? (wait, that sounds dirtier than I meant). Maybe I should actually start following one of these something_rant communities I look down on so much.

If fandoms were boyfriends

I think i did it not that long ago, but wth, I like doing it. ^^

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was my first fic based fandom. I fell hard, and then I fell out so hard during S7. But, boy, did I love the S6 and the Spuffy at the time. And I liked Angel/Spike before it was fashionable too! I still kinda love Ethan/Giles. Very much over the rest of it, thank you.

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:
CLAMP's TB/X. Still much love for it, years after, and pleasant to revisit too for a night or two.

The mysterious dark gothy one with whom you used to sit up talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: Oh, my crazy fandoms, how many you are. Say Yami No Matsuei. Say Gravitation. Hahaha, maybe that's because those were fandoms I visited because I saw they were hyped by friends ^^

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Except for the part about being relieved. It'd be awesome if it lived in town and fucked with me and my mind every day. Damnit it's Utena, it's smart enough to do anything with me :D

The steady: A Song of Ice and Fire. On and off since 2001, and love's still going strong if in different forms. Characters' such magnifiscent bastards sweethearts! In their own peculiar way. And with 3 books (at least) yet to go, it can go strong for a while too...

The ex: Right now Harry Potter. I'm not even bitter, I'm just utterly numb. I kinda wonder if I'll be interested in reading/writing for it some time in the future and at the same time, I don't really give a damn. I guess it's a good thing I was always more enamoured with the fandom than I was with the canon.

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: So many (I'm a fandom slut :D), Pirates of the Caribbean, X Men movie, FMA, Fruits Basket, Princess Tutu, Ouran, lattest's BSG... I call 'em lurker fandoms.

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:Avatar maybe? I dunno if we have a thing or not. I definitely love the canon rabidly, but I'm so not crazy about the shipping, and while I do like reading and writing gen, I kinda wonder if it's enough to sustain my interest in a fandom in the long term. On the other hand it's definitly a lovely canon and the fandom's got its sweet spots as well... if only I had more fic bunnies (and less epic plotty ones, plz).

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Firefly, maybe.

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?": These days it's Supernatural, or Lost, or SGA, or any of those big fandoms that seem so dull to me. (not that I know the series mind...)

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: See above :D
