Challenge #1: Fandom Information
Decided in the end to just make a new post instead of updating my sticky introduction post, as I just couldn't figure out how to adjust it, LOL.
So! Fandom information.
I'm
I wouldn't say that I'm really *in* a fandom right now; at the moment I'm more just coasting between different fandoms/pairings I find interesting, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm *invested* in them, if that makes sense. I don't think I quite latch onto fandoms in that manner where I get like super, super into something, but I tend to always have 5 or so fandoms I'm interested in enough to read and write fics for.
I don't know, I've ruminated on fandom before and to be truthful I think it might be a result of limited spoons for fandom stuff, and just a preference for using those spoon I do have to write fun fics, instead of necessarily talking about/with the fandom. Lots of executive dysfunction and chronic pain is perhaps not the best combination, LOL.
Last month I wrote four fics, all different fandoms. One Blade (Movie Trilogy) fic written for

I think that's pretty much where my fandom interest lies these days when it comes to 'things I want to write' (but maybe not? Will I actually write more for any fandom I've dipped my toe into before? Impossible to say) but 'things I want to read' goes much, much wider; as evident, I'm very much not monofanish.
Over the years there have been occasions where I've gotten pretty invested in a new fandom/pairing very quickly and go on reading sprees on AO3, but they typically don't last long enough for me to write a lot of fics myself, and my burning desire to Read All The Fics tend to burn itself out very quickly. DCU and ATLA are probably the longest-lasting examples of this; those fics can be found on
There are characters I'm more perpetually drawn to even when the larger fandom interest fades; Jason Todd (DCU), Draco Malfoy (HP) and Kuei (ATLA) are probably the ones at the top. But that doesn't translate into any 'constant' interest, it's more a case of going back to them every once in a while, just because I'm still intrigued and would like to do more exploration.
Mood plays into a lot, I think. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Teen Wolf fics, and then I'll read a bunch for a week and then that'll mood change and I'll go for something else. So it's always hard to say 'I'm into these and these and these specific fandoms.'
Hmmm.
