I'm in love!
Sep. 15th, 2013 04:28 pmI have fallen for a new fandom. It's been the bright spot of this awful week, to be honest. Before I drop its specific name, I want to talk about the more universal facets that I think everyone still reading my LJ can relate to: both how and why we fall for a story and its characters, be it written or visual.
For me it's just like falling in love. It's whiplash fast and intense. I inhale the original source, I use my google-fu to seek out more, I gobble up any scrap of information about the author, the characters, and the apocrypha. And then I fall head-first into reading the fanfic. In short order, I find myself an addict.
