So, Avengers? Ummm....

[emmagrant01]

I still haven't quite figured out what attracts me to a fandom. It's fairly unpredictable. I thought for sure I'd fall head over heels for The Avengers, but... I didn't. I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't come out of it desperate for more or wanting to ship anyone. My Tumblr dash is all Avengers all the time now, and it's a bit sad that I don't feel it too. I can enjoy the gifsets and such, but I don't feel compelled to read any of the recs that are popping up everywhere. I somehow just don't care that much about those characters. 

I feel like it's blasphemy to say it, but there it is. The fannish bug just didn't bite me for that one. :-P

I'm psyched that you'll be motivated to keep writing Sherlock fic.

I have to say that I do try fic in new fandoms as often as I can, hoping to be swept away--but I'm also one of those people who never really leaves a fandom. Or I haven't, yet. I'm still as interested in Patrick O'Brian novels as ever, I still like HP fan fic, I would still read fic for basically any book I've ever liked.

I went to see Avengers for the same reasons I watched all the old SGA episodes and rented Inception--to help the fic make more sense. I just really enjoy a good fan fic. This is the way it is when you're a fast decoder, I guess.
