Small fandoms are love. I totally want that color bar, because - they are. Seriously, some of the best fic I have ever read was in a fandom so tiny it was pretty much just the author in there by herself, with a small group of adoring readers hanging around the edges. No, no - small fandoms are the purest love. I mean, you know it has to be True Wuv when you're squeeing by yourself.
Due South, SGA, Sentinel, Sports Night...I've read thousands of pages of FF and probably seen a total of 45 minutes of the shows put together. Hell with the fannish duty, that's what I say.
Oh, child, child, once I was like you. I danced and sang all day and read porn all night, and I knew not of TV or these things those wise in the ways of the world called shows. But time passed. I put away childish things, and I assumed the mantle of Fannish Heritage, as was right and proper. (All this took, like, six months. But that's about two decades in Fandom Time.) I listened to the wisdom of my elders, and I learned.
Mostly what I learned is: the third season of dS is, in places, as slashy as any fic, and is for the most part well worth seeing. And the first season of Sports Night is wonderful. Seriously. Very much worth seeing.
Just in case you, you know. Ever get bored with the frolicking and porn.
(But I still think it's best to read the fic first. TV makes *much* more sense that way. Also, the ideal situation is if you have a loved one who will do your TV watching for you, and then later show you the best bits, with annotations.)
