Since I can't post a poll on multific, this feedback poll for the Multi-Fandom Lyric Wheel must needs go here. Participants, and those interested in participating next time, poll away!

Fandom meme

It's tricky to define the difference between "being in a fandom" and "being a fan of" or even "highly interested". I tend not to consider myself a fan of something unless I've done something creative in relation to it: written a fic, a poem, done illustrations, made a costume... The next level out for me would be reading and reviewing fanfic, and participating in mailing lists or other fannish community. Where it gets really tricky is that there are some fandoms where I've written fic, but not participated in the community as such. This tends to happen to me for US/UK shows which are still running, for which I want to avoid spoilers, because I simply can't participate in the fandom because everyone is discussing things I don't want to know. Shows that are no longer running don't have such a problem. So, for example, I've written Stargate stuff, but I haven't participated in Stargate mailing lists (well, I was briefly on a fiction one, but that was consumption).
