Bugger-off-gitis time for Cam again?

Moodtheme! Done by wondertwins_inc

Yes. Look at my shiny new fandom. Time travel, leather, whacky aliens, Daleks, UST, oh my!

Funny about fandoms. I've passed through a few during my time online and whenever I get really settled in one, I also start getting bugger-off-gitis and poke about elsewhere. Sometimes, I come back. Sometimes, I don't. (I've come back to CSI once before, though.)

Doctor Who is my new loverboy. Is it here to stay? Who knows... I have been feeling vaguely dissatisfied in the CSI fandom. Lots of great people I've met through it (*hugs you all*), but also some I really don't like. And truer-love-than-your-ship attitude is seriously starting to annoy me. Very seriously. Anyone else feeling that?

And I've been feeling bored writing some of my fanfics there of late. Never a good sign.

Ah well. We'll see how it all goes. I can share my love around. Multitasker, me. And of course, helps to have something in a fandom you're fond of sticking around for.Unless I can lure you all over to my new obsessions

Rose: Hold on a minute! You can't just go swanning off!
The Doctor: Yes, I can. Look. Here I am. This is me swanning off. Seeya!

ETA: Oh yeah, and I also won this award...

for East of the Sun, West of the Moon.

Go me, I guess.

I love new-found fandoms. Shiny!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Precious!

Congrats for the award, Camilla!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Not that I had a lot of competitiion, but ah well.

[binglexjells.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the award - you definitely deserve it. & that moodtheme is wonderful.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Previous experiences with fanfic awards has just warped my mind up until the point where I'm all blah about it.

The mood theme certainly is. Mmm, Doctor...

[ressie-noldo.livejournal.com]

Fandom switches are certainly fun.

Uncovering the layers of wank behind the fun, however, is something else.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, but that usually takes at least a couple of weeks. Give me those weeks of unbridled joy.

More fandoms=more crossover crackfic opportunities and/or squeeful recs. (And sometimes, more asshats, but they're at least fun to laugh at in small doses.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Asshats are much fun.

Sadly, when they share your lawn, the fun meets up with growing annoyance.

And truer-love-than-your-ship attitude is seriously starting to annoy me. Very seriously. Anyone else feeling that?

*raises hand* Yeah, me too. Can't we all just remember that it's a *TV show* we're watching, and try to get along? I never realized how crazy people could get about their 'ships until I entered the CSI fandom. These people are vicious...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You should see the Harry Potter shipper wars. Think CSI wankiness, then blow it up about a hundred times and you should be nearing it.

People fight over these things like their ship is religion. Geez.

The whole bit about 'fictional people' must've blown out of their minds.

Bush defends Court choice

Sometimes, in fits of exasperation and/or general crankiness, I can't help but wonder if that man purposely makes stupid decisions and sticks by them just to show he can (if you don't want to mention cronyism, of course). I'm almost tempted to bet if, in a moment of drunkness, he loudly and widely promised to fight to ban oxygen, he'd "defend his choice" even after sobering up.

Congrats for the award!

I know what you mean about fandoms. They have their fun, and you can make some great friends through them, but the wankiness and the displays of "I'm a bigger fan than you" and just plain taking things too seriously in many of them can get old after a while, even when you try to ignore them and focus on the good things.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The man does seem incapable of admiting wrong. Which rather scares me, since no one is perfect and everyone will make a bad decision sooner or later. If you pretend otherwise, you'll probably make more of them.

Ugh.

There comes a point for everything where the bad just seems to outweigh the good, me thinks. It helps to take a little break then and let yourself rediscover the good.

Love the new moodtheme. I'm thinking about trying to find one for Firefly, myself. Or maybe distracting myself with figuring out how to do it myself. :/

Still working on getting the ninth Doctor DVDs. BitTorrent is not my friend.

I still want a new country. Or at least a cave to hide in until the New Fifties are over.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's a lot of work, but it's not too horridly complicated. Just have to be willing to devote some time to it.

Aaaw. I use BitLord and it was my friend. All eps now.

Hee. I'll be in Europe next summer, maybe I can get away from my parents for a day or two. I'd love to see Norway, but the trip is planned for Italy and France. Maybe I'll get a rail pass ...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Bit of a long trip to take the train from France to Norway. Lots of sea in the way.

But if you're in the neighbourhood, do drop by! :) I'll give you a tour.
