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.)

Oh, and there are some old fandoms that are no longer in my nest (to borrow from anenko above), because I came to dislike them. (Also BtVS, interestingly enough.) But for the most part, even when I'm no longer involved in a particular fandom, I will still click on the occasional fic link if it involves a favourite character, and will sometimes fall back in love. (I'm currently doing this with X-Men comicverse -- I've been reading the comics happily for awhile, but am just rediscovering my fic love. Probably because I've fallen for different characters within the fandom than I did on my first time around.)

Actually, that reminds me: my fannish participation is often inversely proportional to how much I actually enjoy the canon. Marvel comics? Generally loving those I read, and thus feeling little reason to read fic/discuss things. (Also, the characters I most like to read about don't tend to have much fic written about them.) DC comics? Majorly unhappy with the current state of affairs, and am thus taking every opportunity to read fix-it fic, or bitch with others about how much it sucks.

Shutting up, now.
