They Say What They Say

Oh god, I've become so bad at this LJ thing lately. I haven't posted or read my flist in two weeks and I'm so far behind with what you all are up to I don't think I'll ever catch up. I do love you all, it's just that there's so little time in the average day!

*arrgh!*

Thanks to the very kind generosity of oriole_girl I can has a Dreamwidth account! I'm Laylee over there as well so feel free to hunt me down and add me to your contacts if you haven't already done so. However I haven't added any content or anything as of yet. Not even a user pic. And since I'm still very much wedded to LJ, I probably won't do much with it for the moment, unless of course my entire flist suddenly migrates en mass. I have a hard enough time keeping up with one journal, let alone two. After being off line for five days over Easter my flist has exploded and I had to give trying to catch up with you all after skip=350 lest my head went boom! And for the moment I'm quite content to sit back and wait and see what happens, if anything happens at all.

I'm hoping I'll be asleep when the great LJ move of '08 occurs. I just did a quick timezone conversion and near as I can tell it will be 3am my time when it happens so hopefully it will be all over and done with by the time I go to check my flist in the morning. Of course one can never tell what will happened with these things, so if needs be I'm Laylee over at InsaneJournal and at Journalfen, although I prefer to be optimistic about such things and will assume that everything will be okay until it actually goes wrong.

The house inspection went well. So well in fact that real estate lady seemed mildly miffed that I didn't have any maintenance issues greater than a door that occasionally sticks in cold weather. But none of that matters because OMG TOMORROW I HAVE A DATE WITH A GUY I MET AT ALUMBRA ON SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!!11!!!1!!!11!!1111!!!!!!

*ahem*

Yes, so I must to be chosing outfits and shoes and meep, I have a date!

As you may have guessed the last couple of days have not exactly been a bed of roses for me. And to cap it all off, I log into LJ today and it's all changed! What happened to my profile page and how do I turn it off????

As expected, the results of my little poll from last night show that the majority of the people on my flist came via Sports Night. There's a number from due South and related Canadian fandoms, three from Harsh Realm, which harks back to my earliest days in online fandom, and a couple from Supernatural. But no one from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or The West Wing which actually doesn't surprise me because, aside from posting a couple of fics, I was never very involved with either fandom at all.

Now I'm wondering how many respondents have moved onto new things since they initially came to LJ. Although it was Sports Night that brought me to LiveJournal, I wouldn't count it as my primary fandom any more, with Supernatural having overtaken most of my interest of late. However I do still consider myself part of the SN fandom, as well as due South, The West Wing, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harsh Realm, even though it's been nearly a decade since I wrote my last HR fic. For some people it seems to be easy to move from fandom to fandom, dropping one as another takes their interest and then dropping that when the next 'Oh Shiny!' comes along. On the other hand I don't think I ever truly leave a fandom. I may drop down to being a lurker at best, but I still count myself as being 'in the fandom' even if my thoughts have move from Pinocchio and Tom to Sam 'n' Dean.

Now I'm curious to hear other peoples' thoughts/opionions on the subject. Do you move on from a fandom completely? Or do you find yourself continuing to linger on the outskirts even if your attention is mostly elsewhere? Can you be considered as being in a particular fandom even if your activity is next to nothing? Where does one end and the other start? And with the interwebs the way it is, can one really move on at all?
