Favorite fannish media? books, tv, anime, movies, games? and why
From my January Talking Meme.
You can still ask a lot of questions!
this one is answer to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
eglantiere's question.
The short answer is tv series. I have no idea why, to be honest.
I love reading books the most, and my tastes are not necessarily obscure - I love all kinds of books, out of fiction it's mostly science fiction and fantasy, but I was never driven to fandom of books. Even Harry Potter fandom passed me by, as I was watching it from sidelines. I loved the books and bought the last two the first day I could and read them immediately, but I never felt that special kind of fire.
When I think about it now, I think that maybe reading is too solitary for me. it's all between my brain and the book, and while I will happily discuss stuff from the books I read, and even search for artwork, I am not as driven to engage with community about any particular book or books.
anime is mostly unexplored territory for me. I watched a little, and never was seriously engaged.
movies... I don't know. I have pretty mass culture taste. I enjoy Marvel Cinematic Universe, etc. But not enough to be passionate about it.
and tv... all my fannish feelings come from various tv shows. my main fandom is Buffy (still is, even as it's hardly active), but even before that, before I knew the word "fandom", tv shows affected me in a very special way - the acute need to seek like-minded people and talk to them.
