Poll: Fandoms I Have Loved: Reader Input

I'm just curious, really. I have a lot of half-finished FIHL posts sitting on my hard drive - all the ones listed below are somewhere between 1% and 80% complete - and I guess, now that I've finished with Smallville, I'm feeling a little...unfocused.

Pointers, anyone?

ETA: I have already done (in reverse order) Smallville, Stargate: Atlantis, The Fast and the Furious, Oz, Ocean's 11, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Master & Commander, due South, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sentinel, and Lord of the Rings. Those can all be found at my Fandoms I Have Loved tag.

ETA2: Allow me to smack my forehead in a painful fashion, because I completely forgot to put on the poll two others that I have in progress: Harry Potter and the DCU. Memo to me: no more posting polls late at night.

[Poll #720893]

I make pleading baby-puppy faces for DCU, because I have tried to explain it and totally failed; therefore I appreciate the head-exploding tendencies of trying to explain . . . anything, really. (I think I got as far as, "The second Robin . . ." and my audience said, "Wait, what?")

And Dark is Rising, because as much as the ending makes me whimper and demand, "Fixie!" The Dark is Rising is on my list of best-formative-books.

*nods*

I have incredible sympathy with your explaining-the-DCU dilemma. Comic book canons are like nothing else on earth, truly. ([livejournal.com profile] brown_betty said that the canon DCU writers regard the past merely as a strong suggestion, and I truly did not know whether to weep or laugh or embrace her for putting her finger so unerringly on the problem. I mean, how do you summarize a canon when no part of it ever remains the same?)
