Poll: Distraction Is Good

[thefourthvine]

I'm kind of - not too bright sometimes. For example, when I grabbed an oven rack to move it around without, um, checking to see if it was hot? That was a "not so bright" moment in my life, right there.

Also, ow.

So I want distraction, with a minimum of typing involved. It's time for a poll! With, ideally, lots of comments! Come on, people - please. Distract me.

(I do actually have a place I'm going with this, by the way - except for the last question, which is there solely because LJ is crazed tonight. I'm trying to find out what fans do and how they do it. Assuming the ice does its job, I'll have a meta post on this sometime in the distant, murky future. Probably.)

I'm very much a magpie, but I'm starting to lose track of the fandoms I've left in my nest. I still consider myself a fan of almost every series I've felt fannish about, but I sometimes end up struggling to remember what those fandoms *were.*

I've drifted farther away from some fandoms than others. My first three online fandoms were X-Men comics, Buffy, and Roswell. X-Men still caries a nostalgic glow; Roswell was a pleasant but unremarkable time in my fannish history; and BtVS is the only fandom I really and truly fell *out* of love with--not just drifted away, but began to actively *dislike* the show and characters. That said, the BtVS fandom is still in my nest, if only because it shapped so much of my early fannish experience.
