For the first few years I was in fandom, I had only one fandom and I liked it that way. The Sentinel was what brought me here, and through it I fell so in love with fandom and slash and the whole phenomenon that I got deeply attached to it and was sad when my friends started moving on to new fandoms.

For a while I was bifannish: Sentinel and due South, which makes some sense, because both are cop/buddy shows.

Then something shifted -- I'm going to blame it on livejournal, actually *g* -- and I started being exposed to a lot of different fandoms, a lot of different fannish love and squee and good times. And these days I consider myself deeply invested in three of fandoms (which blaze like bonfires in my fannish little heart), but peripherally involved in a few others, and still one or two more are on the fringes of my consciousness.

All of which goes to say, I used to be monofannish and now I'm not. I'm not a truly polyamorous fan -- I know people with twenty or thirty fandoms, and I just can't see that happening to me -- but I have five or six, and that feels like a tectonic shift from the days when I had One True Fandom and liked it that way dammit. :-)
