[PUBLIC POST] Let's talk fandom!

[ljwrites]

All right, the weekly open posts are back! This week let's talk about our fandom obsessions, or just works that we really like. Here are some possible discussion launchers, but feel free to ignore some or all of them and add your own:

- What are some of your favorite works?
- Were you or are you involved in fandom?
- How did your favorite works or fandoms influence your writing?

Go to town, folks!

Favourite works: mine or other people's? Not that either is easy to answer.

I am involved in fandom and have been for years. I currently have a most terrible case of the Star Wars.

That is an excellent question. I'm not sure. I do know that if I not recently read a 300k+ Star Wars AU/time-travel fic, I would most likely not be planning a Star Wars AU right now.

Since the post is about fandoms I was thinking other people's works, but either is fine! Whatever you're comfortabel discussing.

You've caught the Star Wars bug bad! Were you a fan of the original trilogy and prequels too, or did TFA get you into it?

I'm hard-pressed to name specific works, tbh, but some fandom people have been most awesome and helpful with my writing.

This icon isn't called "A most terrible case of the Star Wars" for no reason, hahaha.

I wasn't fannish about the prequels when they came out -- Revenge of the Sith is about one/two years before I got in fandom, even though I saw in theaters. I saw TFA because I am weak for SPAAAAAAACE on the big screen and I loved it so I went back and watched the other movies again and now I'm fannish about the prequels and the sequels, but not so much the original trilogy (except Leia). So six of one, half a dozen of the other.
