What Are We Reading/Writing?

[doc_3]

I hope to get several responses on this, because I am quite curious.  What fandoms do my friends read/write?  I always wonder if ya'll are devoted only to one fandom, or like me, you find yourself wandering from one to another?  I always come back to my first love, 'Bones', but I do wander frequently to 'Pirates', specifically anything with Capt. Jack Sparrow.  

(Side note - a girlfriend and I had a lengthy debate the other day about David Boreanaz vs. Johnny Depp, and had quite a list of pros and cons for each.  I'll not bore you with the details here, but I think it was a tie - while David is taller, Johnny is well, Johnny.)

Can't wait to hear what holds our collective attention.

Good question! I always wondered about that too, especially since I've seen writers who write for more than one fandom.

Personally, I'm Bones all the way at the moment; I'd never read/written any fic before edging into the Bones fandom last year, and I'm pretty happy there now. It's probably the chemistry thing for me too, so if I'd been a little older, maybe I would've gotten into X-Files stuff too (because I was probably still watching Sesame Street when X-Files was on the air), but I find that the supporting characters in Bones also make the fics in Bonesville that little bit more enjoyable.

I have (briefly) ventured into the Buffy/Angel fics, but mostly because I was in procrastination mode and some Bones authors had written BA stuff. It was interesting, but it's been so long since I watched BtVS (never watched Angel) that I don't think I would be able to get into that very easily. That, and the fandom is fricking huge. :)

*looks at ramble* Wow, I'd say almost 50% of that was on topic...

Buffy/Angel is such a huge fandom that I just can't tackle it. I've watched most episodes of Angel (never watched Buffy - just the opposite of you), but the only fics I've read were recs from friends. Too many to search through!

I've not watched Angel, though peops keep saying I should. I have a friend who is totally obsessed and has every box set of both shows so I really have no excuse actually.

You're right about there being way too much to search through.

Angel is good, but I can't say great. It's a little campy at times, but it's very interesting, a lot like 'Charmed'. There is really no UST, although we do get little glimpses, and of course there is the hotness of DB. SHirtless DB is always worth it.
