"...you're my sickness, you're my weakness, you're mine..."

+ I've been rewatching the first season of Charmed since I managed to get a hold of season 3 for about half price the other day (the cheapest I've seen it). Am really enjoying it. Haven't watched it in ages! This time around I've been inspired to write a bit of fic so that'll be up soon. ♥

[Poll #1332721]

+ New Moon arrived in the mail on Friday. Will start reading as soon as I'm done with Twilight which I'm yet to finish. Which brings me on to a question. Do any of you guys actually like and participate in the Twilight fandom? I've discovered that I love the movie (even if it wasn't the best ever) and I'm quite liking the books, but when it comes to fandom, I don't know. It doesn't have the same feel to it as other fandoms. Maybe it's just because I haven't finished reading the books or maybe it's some other reason. I just haven't been able to get into it in any serious way. *shrugs*

I love Twilight and the books, but I'm not very interested in talking to other fans about it anymore. I don't know...

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's pretty much me, too.. Wonder what it is about the fandom. *ponders*

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Probably because it's full of batshit 14-year olds. :p

I adore Twilight, but don't really participate in the fandom... but I don't always join fandom-y stuff for everything I like/love and a lot of it has to do on if I ever feel motivated or inspired enough to offer something to said fandom :)

I love Charmed!!! I miss it... I picked Phoebe, even tho I adore Piper loads... but I always liked Phoebe lots. :)

*smirk* You're probably right.
It reminds me a little of the Harry Potter fandom tbh - which I did get into a little, but again, not in any serious manner. So maybe it's just the age of the fandom-base. Even Bones with the younger crowd it seems to attract is getting that way.
*sighs* I should head off and think about it later when I'm not half asleep..

True, I have fandoms I love that I'm active in and ones that I'm not as well. Twilight I think I'll be leaning towards the 'not'. In the visiting comms-sense. I've had a decent enough hit of inspiration with writing fic but hey. I aim to write for as many fandoms as possible so that doesn't count as much. That's as far as the fandom-y-ness for Twilight goes for me. /rant

Me too's!! ♥
I love Prue the most. Loved Piper when I first started watching (I didn't get into the series properly until later seasons with Paige). So Prue and Piper would be my favs. But mostly Prue. And then I'm torn between Phoebe and Paige. They're all so different characters and each of them have attractive qualities and traits. And not so nice ones, too. ;)

Yeah...what I've noticed about Phoebe this watch is how insightful she can be. It's rather nice, refreshing to see. (Just saw the ep where she got the job as a psychic in order to get money to buy Prue a b'day present.)

I should go now. It's 4:30am and I swore I'd go to bed at 2am. (I blame a Huddy fic I just got utterly hooked on reading to the end.) Excuse the ramblings. ;) *hug*

I definitely loved the books and the movie, but I'm somehow not really moved to write fanfiction or anything...don't really know why. I think, for as much as I love the characters and the world, it's a pretty simple book, that doesn't (and this is completely my own opinion) go begging for more in-depth exploration.

Have fun with New Moon! And finishing Twilight. ;)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I can understand that. It's about the stage I'm at (though I did just 'sign up' at twilight100 so may write some drabbles for that.) I'm starting to think that it's just 'that sort of' fandom. *shrugs*

Thanks, will do! :)

Hmmm, that was a tough question, but I definitely liked Paige more than the others, but of the original P3, Piper was my favorite -- heck, we named three girl kittens we had Prue, Piper and Phoebe. No one wanted Piper, so we've still got the lovely little lady with us now :) And my SISTER loved Phoebe -so- much, she named her first daughter after her *nods*

I've seen the trailer for Twilight. And just...no. I can't seem to get myself interested in it at all for some reason, sorry to say. But then I'm not really a vampires person anyway, so that could have something to do with it.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Paige, huh? That's cool. :)
And ooooh! Kittens is nice. I want another pet just so I can name it after a TV character :P

Yeah, the trailer didn't really appeal to me either. Mostly the mentions of it on my flist and knowing Ani likes it (who has awesome taste in fandoms) led me to getting into it. If you're not into vampires though I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I LOVE Twilight and I write stories and stuff...but well for one thing, once you get past Twilight, the books become self-insertion fanfic anyway...so the fandom is overload...XD but the people I've met through it are pretty nice XD

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, okay then. Maybe if I just wait til I've read the books it'll appeal to me more with fandom. :)
