I miss fandom
I really, really do. Heroes. POTC. I got an urge to read Sparrington aka. Jack Sparrow/Norrington about a month ago and started searching on the web for some old stories and whatever was new since the last time I looked, which was years ago. 2009, maybe. I knew the fandom had gone pretty downhill by then, but damn. It makes sense, though. Most fandoms don't last forever. It's amazing there's still activity at all and quite a few, too, just not the kind I remember. This wouldn't bug me so much if it weren't POTC. I would like to say that it's because of the age of sail aspect, because every time I see a ship with sails I am drawn to it (literally; I'll be in the middle of a conversation, I see a painting of a sailing ship across the room and I forget everything and go straight to it), but I never got into Aubrey/Maturin and Hornblower fandoms like I got into this one. The characters in POTC moved me and inspired me much like the ones in Heroes. I just had to keep on watching and reading and writing and commenting (though I wound up writing and commenting much more for Heroes). I had some hope that there was a new movie coming out, though I'm not sure what I was hoping for, since I wasn't happy with the idea of a new movie to begin with and both my OTPs (Pintel/Ragetti) was the other one) being out of the picture (because of course they wouldn't bring back Norrington even though they keep resurrecting everyone else, because he's my favorite character and my favorite characters always stay dead dead dead, which is the only reason I'm kinda glad they never brought back Claude in Heroes, because then they would have definitely killed him because they always do that to my characters and CE has such a penchant for dying on set).
I'm a little afraid of looking at the Heroes comms. Is there still something going on?
I haven't even thought about fandoms in a while. Not only have I had to time for one, but I haven't seen anything that I've felt fannish about. It's weird. What's a fangirl without a fandom?
On a different note: Hello! I live, though my life is quite boring lately. I decided, against my better judgement (the muse is a cruel mistress), to write a novel set in the Henrician Era, so I've been mired by research, research, and more research. Right now, I should be typing up notes, but I don't feel like it. I've missed LJ. My life these past months has been all library books and photocopies.
I'm back in Puerto Rico for now. Not much going on here, either.

There is some stuff going on in some Heroes comms, I think. Not that I've been paying attention to things outside of [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], which is just the regulars hanging out. But I think [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] was doing rewatches and some of the other comms are doing stuff.

It's curious, I just got back into LJ full force about a week ago, after going AWOL for almost a year. And I have a brand new fandom to play in (Thor movieverse, am totally in love with Loki/Tom Hiddleston), so, you know, it feels good to have shiny new things to play with, that haven't been despoiled by screenwriters and bad plots and such.
But yeah, I understand you so well. I feel a little sad when I think about Heroes still. Just the other day this TV channel around here was replaying the whole series, and I saw a few S1 eps and it was just so bittersweet to know eventually everything would go to hell.

Heroes had so much potential for being one of the greatest shows ever, but after season 1 the hope was all gone. *sigh*

...not unless you count the two LJ slash comms, the tumblr accounts sprounting macros like demented mushrooms, and the kink meme. For which I wrote a 6,000 word AU fic in three days o.O
...so, not really *maniacal grin*
Ah, you icon. I miss Claude. Actually, I miss CE in any sort of role these days... Wonder what he's up to?
no subject
Oh, Claude. It has been a long time since I last saw CE. Hmm. He does have recent projects listed in IMDB, including a TV series. Which I really shouldn't watch. What with the lack of time and all. And.. And... Oh, who am I kidding?
no subject
I miss Heroes too. I think I will die if the TSN fandom ever perishes. I couldn't bear it; it is so closet to my heart :(

It's so horrible when your fandoms die. Although the POTC fandom isn't dead, it's just the Sparrington side that seems to be and I can't handle that. I can't.
