My first fandom was Highlander, then I moved onto The Sentinel, and then found popslash. I came late to Firefly and SGA, but I stil keep an eye on the fic for the former and the episodes for the latter (not a McKay/Sheppard shipper, so not a big consumer of fic).
Wow, I just realized that I forgot about the mountains of SG-1 fic I've consumed! I've written a few stories but again, other than reading a lot of Jack/Daniel (Daniel!), I haven't really been *in* the fandom. I was a major Daniel/Cameron when Mitchell showed up, but writers didn't embrace him the way I thought they would, and after the crappy way Jack treated Daniel for a few seasons there, I couldn't read about them as a couple anymore. ;-p Plus, Cameron! Shiny! :-D
McShep. OMG, 'nuff said. Sadly, Ronon/Sheppard is sadly lacking, which I absolutely cannot understand, given the glorious golden gorgeousness of Jason Mamoa. Ronon is absolutely adorable. Less McShep, more ShepDex, dammit!
Firefly/Serenity! Yay! Once again firmly in swimming upstream mode, I absolutely LOVE Malcolm/Zoe. Talk about a rare pairing, MY GOD. Another one I don't understand, given the onscreen hotness and chemistry of the two. With the backstory we've been given for the two of them, you'd think more people would have explored the possibility of them hooking up after Wash died (or even before, I'm not picky). Sadly, the workings of the fandom brain seriously elude me.
Despite my fandom diversity, I don't think I've changed my flist much since I joined LJ, which probably means I'm missing out on meeting new people, but I really do enjoy the company of ye olde popslash buddies, even if a lot of them have moved into fandoms that don't interest me much. More than you probably wanted to know (and I'm sure I've left something out!), but there you go.
Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks for sharing. :-)
