smallhobbitIn which I ramble, but hopefully don't actually upset my friends in the Lewis fandom.
I think I'm falling out of love with the fandom. It no longer seems to hold the attraction it once did. Maybe it's something to do with the last series, which to me felt like more of a money spinner and designed as much for the American market as for the UK. Which, the cynic in me says, is why it was broadcast in the States before we were able to see it. Which still seems all wrong.
It's all rather unfortunate, since I'm still writing my Small Fandom BigBang, which is a Lewis casefic. I started writing before S8 aired, and it's an AU, in that Robbie and James are living together and James is still a sergeant. I'm concentrating rather more on the case than the relationship, so my general dissatisfaction is less of a problem.
Maybe that's where my problem lies - many of the new stories are 'first time' where Robbie and James finally come together, or somehow the threesome works out. And, unfortunately for me, that's no longer a genre I enjoy.
But that's just my opinion. Please feel free to disagree with me.
