Pendergast series
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
drworm convinced me to--another one of our friends had been talking about it for a while, but when drworm started talking about it in his LJ I figured it was worth giving it a shot.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
Stay; new books come out every year or so, and that's more than enough to keep my interest. Even when the authors eventually stop for whatever reason, I think I'll still love the series. Right now, I'm a little obsessed with it because it is my happy place.
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
Still Life with Crows is my favorite overall book, even though it's a standalone; I love how incredibly out-of-place Pendergast is, and I just love the writing and the sense of atmosphere. Brimstone is my favorite as far as character interaction goes, though. I love how Pendergast and D'Agosta click with each other, and I like that that's when we get to meet Diogenes.
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I've stayed away from the larger fandom (which seems to be situated mostly at the P&C Yuku boards) for a while, since it sometimes seems like the people at those boards are not even reading the same series as I am, and I do like being in fandoms with people who share my basic interpretation of a thing. But I'm posting there again a little. I don't write much fanfic on my own (except for the Yuletide one), but I do have long discussions and story sessions withdrworm over IM.
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
I certainly don't begrudge anyone getting into the books, and I actually just randomly recced them to someone online. But I like that there's not a big active fandom for it, particularly on Livejournal or other fannish places. I don't think I'd want there to be an enormous fanfic archive dating back from the 90's or anything like that.
Back to the Future
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
I found the tapes at a garage sale and watched them when I had nothing else to do, and wanted more.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
I did sort of move on about a year ago, but I don't think I'll stop liking or being interested in the series or the fanfic or the people. It's just taken a backseat to some other things now.
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
I think some part of me has most of the first movie memorized, but I have a soft spot for the crazy future of the second movie. It's just so colorful and shiny and detailed.
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I used to pretty heavily. I think I wrote more fanfic for that series than I did for anything else.
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Heck of yeah. I know everyone in the world has seen this movie, but it'd be cool to have more people coming in and writing weird porn and making things happen.
Man from UNCLE
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
drworm was taking a Hitchcock class, and he got a crush on Martin Landau, and then we learned that Marty was in an episode, and I liked it, and there you go.
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
It's not like I totally leave fandoms, but even now it's sort of taking a backseat just because I'm focusing on other things and other fandoms. Sometimes yoy gotta take a break from obsessing.
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
I'm strangely fond of "The Green Opal Affair." It's just so weird and non-linear and completely insane. I also have a soft spot for the Pop Art episode--that was the one that made me realize, oh, they're in on the joke.
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
I've written fanfic and am in the process of writing more. I modthrushies, which is for...uh...lulz. I also participate in discussion because it's easier and less time-consuming than writing fanfiction.
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
Sure, why not? It's fun.
