The June Something - Day One

[smallhobbit]

As part of my goal for this year to expand my journal a bit, I'm taking part in The June Something as run by squidgiepdx   The full list of questions are here, but don't expect me to answer them all, because that ain't the way I roll.

Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?

Probably not a lot.  I've a few new friends on DW, mostly craft related rather than specifically fandom.  I'm probably writing less fanfic, but I've said elsewhere the crafting has increased.  And I've joined Shedunnit, which could be called fandom for Golden Age crime novels, so there's more Miss Marple in my output.

I suppose my fandom life is more about the people I interract with rather than the specific fandoms.  Those maybe have changed a bit over the year, but I like to think of us as all sticks in the river, flowing along in the same direction but sometimes one moves faster than another and then we catch up again.

What a great way to put it! I love this imagery, because yes - it describes our own interaction and journey with fandom perfectly!

Yay for crafting, and that shedunnit thing sounds cool! I got mum some of the really old Marple films for Christmas, so we watched them around then

That’s a nice way of putting it

More Miss Marple is always good! :)

Nice analogy! Or metaphor. Or whatever :D

This seems like fun and it's definitely time I posted a bit more, even if only for a month. So I shall give it a go. And will pop over to the orignator's journal to thank them for the questions!

I'm glad to hear that you're getting more crafting done as I know that was something you really wanted to do.

Also, some of us get stuck in the reeds for a while but eventually...

Fandoms seem to change over time so it is the people who never quite drift out of your sight:)

The Shedunnit sounds interesting.

I do like the river analogy - the number of times I've lost track of someone because they either go offline or move to another fandom and then years later you bump into each other again in a common fandom. *G*
