Spotlight on Fandoms: There is No Such Thing as Too Many Fandoms
Sunday, November 26th, 2006 12:15 pmMost of us in this game come from different branches of the giant gnarled tree that is the online fandom universe. Some of us have fandoms in common, but a lot of us don't. It is inevitable in a game like this though that we start to learn about other fandoms that we might have never looked at otherwise. You start playing with someone from a source you've never heard of before and you pick up an interest. But, what if you can't get your hands on the source material or don't have the time to watch another TV show? You're left with what you can learn by interacting with the characters in the game (or bugging the player for info). Or you can go read fanfic and try to figure out what's canon and what's fanon. Always a fun prospect. *g*
From the other side, it can be hard sometimes when only a handful of people in the game know your canon. There are very few people with whom you can work out plots without a lot of explaining. Also, less people to squee with.
( We want to change all that! )
Please comment below if you have an interest in participating. Don't forget to tell us if you'd be willing to go first next Sunday.
