Intriguing Ficathon

(dangles in front of astrogirl2) The Doctor Who Multifandom "Choose Your Own Companion" Ficathon!
I'm having so much trouble with Multiverse (and not to mention I haven't written that Zen drabble yet, sorry) that I don't know if I'll sign up for this or not, though it is right up my alley. But I thought I'd mention it.

I really have been trying to cut back a tiny tad with the ficathons, but I am most mightily tempted by this one.

Hey, I just wanted to say how much in debt to you I am for your 'definitions'. Although some of them exist purely in the sci-fi realms, most of them apply to all fandoms and helped me understand exactly what my readers were demanding from me. (I won't even tell you what I believed hurt/comfort was ;). )

One thing made me laugh though, you wrote fanfiction (sometimes a book). Considering the absolute impact that Harry Potter has had on the fandom community, I had to grin at you putting it in brackets ^.^

Thank you again,

Hey, glad they were helpful!

It's still only one fandom among many, though.

Yes, but if you weight up it's impact compared to how long it has been around, it's pretty substantial.

Then again, I was never one to dip my toes into the Sci-fi fandoms, so I suppose if one concentrates on those, you probably don't even notice Harry Potter

Sorry *wrinkles her nose* Forgot to switch accounts!

I'm laughing myself at how you're distinguishing Harry Potter from "sci fi", when they're all part of the "science-fiction-and-fantasy" spectrum.

Heh, thats true, but I always mentally put things like Star Wars, Star Trek, star gate and the like in a seperate bracket to things like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. They just feel different to me.

I like them all, I just don't regard them as the same things.
