June Something - Day 6

Day 6: What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?

I don't know. I… hm. I mean, I've been in smallish fandoms, but they've always been just the right size for what I want, so???? I mean, being in a megafandom that produces tons of content is nice but it's also overwhelming. I will never be able to keep up with everything tied to MDZS/CQL, and I despair about that a little bit.

But I never run out of stuff to read or look at. :)

On the other hand, The Losers was pretty small, but the talent was massive, and when we wanted more content, we went out and made it. A little enthusiasm goes a long way.

I'm sure there probably will be a tiny fandom I get invested deeply in at some point, but so far, even the teeniest fandoms seem to either a) have exactly the story I need to be satisfied or b) inspire me to write the fic that I need to be satisfied, and then they have served their purpose and I move on. *shrug* I think every size fandom is wonderful.

June Something - Day 7

Day 7: What's the longest time you've been in a fandom. Not necessarily your oldest fandom, but a fandom that you started and still continue to read/write/create content for in some way.

I am mostly monofannish in terms of creating content. I dip back into old fandoms and forward into new ones occasionally in bursts, but typically, I have one main fandom that is the one I write content for. I podfic a little more broadly, but in a similar vein. Most of what I want to write or podfic right now is CQL/MDZS.

I also read mostly CQL/MDZS, but I will read other things if I'm in the mood or someone I trust writes something in a fandom I'm familiar with.

Which means that this question is basically: what fandom did you stick with the longest? And you know, Supernatural had a good 6 year run there, but it was edged out by The Losers from the month it came out for 7 years afterwards. So definitely The Losers, which was great because that was a great canon and a terrific fandom. So many wonderful friends from that fandom.
