I've somehow ended up involved with four fandoms at the same time. I have no idea how this happened, because I've always been a one-fandom kind of gal. I often jump back and forth between them, but I usually stick with the same one for at least a month before hopping onto the next. Recently, though, I've been playing around in multiple fandoms at the same time, which is just plain old strange.

Let's take a look, shall we?

I've been reading A-Team fanfiction. I've been a fan of that TV show for years (and the movie was a whole lot of fun, too) and every so often I like to indulge in a few fics, though it's so hard to find the good stuff. I mostly stick with fics by JunkFoodMonkey. I love it when I can find an author who has written lots... otherwise, you just have to sort through so much bad stuff before finding the good. I'm hooked on Cabin Fever right now.

I'm reading fanfiction for the Chronicles of Narnia. The Chronicles of Narnia. Which is just, y'know, what the hell? I've been a fan of the books since I was a little girl and I still reread them every now and then, but I've never been sucked into their fandom before. Now, suddenly, I'm a shipper of Caspian and Edmund (mostly movie!verse, but some book!verse stuff, too). I'm also reading a series by Elecktrum right now, which is honestly better than most of the books I've read recently. Thank God I found it, because I've been reading some bad books lately. And not bad in a good way.

I've been reading and writing Harry Potter fic. Harry Potter was actually one of my first ever fandoms, and so it's good to be back. I'm mostly a Harry/Draco and Remus/Sirius shipper, but when it comes to HP fandom, I'm really not fussy. I'll read just about anything.

And finally, I'm writing QAF fic again! I'm still having a really hard time finding Brian's voice (Justin's comes a little easier), but that's not the point. The point is that I want to. I'm mostly playing around with drabbles, which should be posted soonish, but I'm thinking of longer fics... if I could think of something to write about. I guess I'll just have to watch lots of episodes and wait for inspiration, right? Oh, the things we tortured artists go through...

Okay, one last thing. Bring Back the Porn on September 1st! You can find all the details on the challenge here. Even I'm writing something - a Harry/Draco fic that, for some reason, wants to turn plotty. My PWP might just have to turn into Porn With Plot. Or - gasp, shock, horror! - Plot with Porn.

Thanks for sticking with me throughout my rambling about fandoms I know a lot (if not all) of you aren't in. I just wanted to post.

	Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you're having a lovely day. :) The one fandom we're sharing right now is Harry Potter, and I read mostly Harry/Draco and next-gen, but I read other pairings, then it all depends on the pairing and the writer. I'm also reading in different fandoms (HP, Merlin, Generation Kill and others, lol), it's fun! Good luck with your writing! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you! I did have a lovely day... with a whole lot of desserts, so that made it even better :D

I love Harry/Draco, and I've been involved in the HP fandom for years. Well, if by 'involved' you mean reading fics like crazy; I haven't actually written all that much. But I'm with you on mostly reading Harry/Draco and next gen. HP's just one of those weird fandoms for me, though - mostly, I'll read a very specific pairing, or maybe two. With HP, though, if it sounds good, I'll probably check it out.

(Also, I love talking about Harry Potter on IJ because it lets me use this icon)

	Hey! Happy Birthday a day late. Hope you had a great day! It's wonderful news that you are WANTING to write QAF again. I can relate. But I'm happily looking forward to reading your drabbles when they are posted. It's so nice to see more of you on IJ again! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you three days late! That's such an adorable icon, by the way.

I know, right? I'm just WAITING for a good plot to come along because I really want Brian and Justin to start talking to me again. Those drabbles should be up soon, too. I just have to talk to ET about them a little more.

And hopefully, I'll be posting more often in the future. I always say that, right? Fingers crossed that it'll actually happen this time!

	Fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed that it'll happen! For you and me, both. (I've been having issues, lately.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
