Interesting fandom comparison.

Well I've been a rabid Garak/Bashir fan for about a year now, and certain trends in the fandom are more or less ordinary for me now. Like BDSM!Garak, teary!Bashir and general mindfuckery from Garak's side.

So now I just joined the Arthur/Merlin fandom, and right away it jumps out at me that it's a completely different set of trends there. Now, I've only been at it for a day or so, but the first 25 fics or so I've looked at have often been either modern times themed or genderbender fics. Not that either squicks me (Although, the modern times thing doesn't really catch my fancy) it's just so jarringly different from my G/B experience.

It really underlines that I've really stepped onto completely new ground. It's awesome. :o)

Also... this gets me hot for some reason... (wtf, foot fetish?!)

I'm pretty sure you'll never see me in the HP fandom. I absolutely love the books. So much so that the last few films have been downright offensive to me and the idea of fanfiction makes me a little uncomfortable.

Although... on deviantart Sirius/Lupin is my guilty pleasure...
