June Something - Day 18

Day 18: Recall a time when two of your fandoms collided, at least in some way. For example, a song that you fell in love with from one fandom showed up in a second fandom.

Mostly, for me, this happens when actors (usually bit parts but sometimes bigger ones) show up in a new fandom.

I chase actors sometimes. When I really like something I will watch the back catalogue of the main actors. I did it with LOTR and SPN. I never did for SGA, though I knew a fair bit of Hewlett's background because of my wife.

Because SPN and SGA both filmed in Vancouver, there was a lot of crossover. The Losers crossed with SPN at Jeffrey Dean Morgan and thankfully that was it. But The Losers just had a shitton of my favorite actors. Zoe Seldana, Idris Elba, Chris Evans, Columbus Short. And then I met Oscar Jaenada and I feel deeply in love and watched a bunch of his stuff.

Nothing so far has crossed with MDZS and I would be dead surprised if it ever did. It's just… not in the same universe as any of my other fandoms. It would be extremely difficult for it to do that. But I'm now trawling a bunch of Chinese dramas, so eventually we'll get back on the actor crossing the streams thing.

Also - a plug for the upcoming sunshine_challenge~
