Fandom Friday
Dec. 30th, 2022 08:46 amGot busy yesterday and thought I'd posted. Old age!
I am a fan of many things and I write fanfiction because I love to write.
BUT I do not write in some of my favorite fandoms - Sta Wars and Star Trek are the perfect examples. Why? One of the reasons is the fandoms themselves are quite toxic. There are factions who battle in those fandoms, big factions. I am a fan in one of the other big fandoms - Marvel Cinematic Universe and there are big factions there as well as shipper wars, too. I will never really understand this. I have few OTPs because that's silly, especially when you fight with other people over it. The reason I am in any fandom is the fun and distraction from real life stuff it provides. I don't get why people have to bring so much drama to something so simple.
