my very first addiction?
probably battle of the planets when i was about 7 or the hardy boys also around the same time...

i was really in to the a-team when i was about 10, and the original starwars movies

first proper fandom... was probably roswell, then andromeda... i am slowly backing out of the atlantis one

and really having gone though all the bad stuff i have with that one i am really reluctant to join another fandom...

my new love is supernatural
but i don't go on the boards... i go to some of the live journals to snurch pics.. and i post a bit in the threads on gateworld.. but thats as far as i will go

i don't want to get burned again. Fandom can sometimes ruin a show for you. Though its not 100% to blame it sure doesn't help.

that being said i was really really sad when andromeda ended, i felt that because the show was ending so was my friendship with a lot of the people i had met. Luckily that wasn't true.

I have met some of my best and dearest RL friends through fandom and i have also met many out and out hurtful horrible people.

fandom can change you

really the question is .. can you be a fan without the fandom? And should you be?
