Day 12


What makes you fannish? And by that we mean, what is it about a tv show/movie/book/band/podcast/etc that takes you from, "Yeah, I like that," to "I need MOAR!!!" Is it a character? A plotline? The pretty? Subtext that’s just screaming to be acknowledged?

In your own space, tell us what it is that gets you to cross that line into fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I had to think about this one for awhile.

What makes me want more? I tend to feel a sort of longing to be in that place with those characters. When I read Tolkien as a girl, I felt that way but I had no idea what a fandom was... this was 1974 or so. I was transported to Middle Earth.

The same for Star Wars though I've very seldom written any SW fiction. I watch the movies over and over, read the books and have a massive collection of stuff.

Babylon was a place I wanted to be, as is the marvel world.

Honestly, I think I love heroes in one form or another.
