Answers to the fandom meme

[scripsi]

greghousegf asked:

J: Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over the internet.
None. I have become a fan after being recced by a friend, but I can’t recall ever becoming a fan just because everyone talks about something.

T: Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
Not die defending, no. I have headcanons I feel strongly for, like the Master/Missy being one of River Song's spouses, but, well it’s still headcanon, not canon.

C: A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

E: Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what?

F: What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? What fandom was it?

H: Do you prefer live action TV shows or animated TV shows?

I: Has online caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

L: Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.

M: Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

O: Choose a song at random, what ship does it remind you of?

P: Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

R: Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S: Show us an example of your personal headcanon.

V: Which character do you relate to most?

Y: What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Friends reccing things has a lot to answer for!

I think I've picked up things people have been talking about up and down my flist, because the odds are good it'll be interesting, but, yeah, not just because everyone else is talking about it. (I think it's something that can happen on tumblr because of the way it works and how people reblog content, so someone you follow suddenly starts reblogging all these gifsets and art for a different fandom and you can pick up quite a bit of it without even meaning to unless you actively block things out - and some of them never even really go to the source, just gifsets and fic and art!! And I strongly suspect this originated as a tumblr meme, because it has that 'ask' format in it.)

thanks for answering my questions!
I've been answering all of these one a day.

I've never used tumblr, but it sounds like that can very well be the case. :)
