One last note

[eibbil_libbie]

I'm now officially without an active fandom. I left Harry behind a few years before the active canon ended, Twilight's active canon concluded with the end of the foreign premieres today.

I was never a part of the Hunger Games fandom, though I'm still looking forward to the movies. If there was an active fandom for The Host, or the Dark Hunters, or Armstrong's Darkest Powers series, I've never found them.

I don't see many things being pimped around much because their aren't many comms on DW and I don't see many on my flist there talking about fandoms. LJ used to be the place to find that stuff, but I've notice a lot of LJ peel-off in the last two years or so.

This makes me kind of sad. Especially since Goodreads is a terrifically crap place to talk about books.

The big new fandom (huge, really) is Teen Wolf, for the MTV series. That and Merlin and the Avengers are the ones I see with the most activity going on, although HP is certainly still fairly active, at least in the H/D side of things. The series may not be active, but the writers are.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Teen Wolf, I'm seeing Lizzie Bennett Diaries and of course, Sherlock. I haven't even looked at the source canon and I'm not really driven towards any of them :(

I forgot Sherlock, and I don't even know the Lizzie Bennett Diaries.

I'm thoroughly addicted to Teen Wolf as a series, I'll admit, and I've dabbled in fics. I love the characters so much, and also love that MTV doesn't pull punches with them.

Another good non-book series is Haven, where I have an OT3 and a wish for a more active fandom. I mean, people babble on Tumblr, which is cool, but I don't see much outside of that. It's still considered a small enough fandom to be eligible for Yuletide.

Oh, I'm all over Haven. Just watched last night's ep and while I'm not OT3ing it, I'm definitely OTPing. And It was a lovely, lovely episode for that. Fun to watch, but, yeah, I've only ever seen gifs on tumblr, not much more.

I guess I tend to shy away from MTV stuff, but I might check it out with two recs from people I lurve on this thread. I stumbled on some OMGDRAMA via a friend's linking to some BS about the director and it sort of soured me for anything related to the series. Which is hypocritical of me when I've never seen it. Maybe when D goes to bed I'll cue the first ep up.

God knows I need something to do in the evenings.

I've been OT3ing Haven since very early on (it's actually one of my Yuletide requests this year). I saw a lot of rambling and guessing about this episode before it aired. I just watched it myself (was finishing it while typing to you :) ).

I hope you like Teen Wolf. Give it the first few episodes... somewhere around 3 or 4 is when Kev and I were hooked. We went through the entire first season in just a few days. Jackson is love, Stiles is love, Derek is growly (and thus, reminds me too much of my own Marcus, and I'm in love). Loads of pretty. Lydia is the best most underused character on the show. There are a lot of really good things about how they construct people and relationship, and well, there are always mistakes, too. And most important, the cast seems to have a blast with it, and that chemistry translates into the show, and it works. At least it does for me. :)
