[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!

I've been doing fandom since I was a kid and now at 32 there are times when I feel old especially with the ones I was invovled with growing up. Mainly Simpsons, Star Trek (TNG; DS9; Voy), X-Files and Stargate SG-1.

At the moment I'm involved with Agent Carter fandom although very quietly but still I'm around, thankfully it is quite supportive and inclusive even though I primarily write a seemingly rare pairing.

Favourite works of mine are always the same of If You Asked (Killer Instinct), Haunted (SG1), and Twice Unjust (Taggart). I don't read as much fic as I'd like because RL is a pesky wee so and so but my current favourites are Moments (Agent Carter), Finally (Agent Carter) and Give Up The Ghost (MCU/Agent Carter) and two of those are WIPs which I usually avoid reading because of being burned in the past with WIPs.

Most of my fandoms are sci-fi/cult/horror so the influence on my own writing from those is that the possibilities are endless and that anything from canon can be turned into something completely different and that is quite freeing.

I have only recently discovered DS9 and it is awesome. I caught a few episodes of Voyager back in the day too. And now they're renewing the X-Files and Xena, so it seems that once you wait long enough everything old is new again.

I've heard good things about Agent Carter, and our very own inkdust is really into it, too. I miss reading and writing fanfic and look forward to getting back into it once I have a little more time.
