ladydraceFandom Survey. (Whatever. Call it what they like, but it's basically a meme.) Grabbed from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Also, I apologize if this gets really fucking long, but I need something to distract me from this horrendous cough!
What are your current fandoms?
Supernatural
Star Trek DS9
Merlin
Sherlock
(Let's stick with that for now)
How did you get into each fandom?
Supernatural: Because so many people on my f-list were into it, I gave it a shot. The first time around I was so not interested. But I kept being told that it would get better along the way, so I gave it another go and somewhere along season 3-ish I really started getting into it.
DS9: My ex-husband introduced me to it.
Merlin: I caught 5 mins of The Poisoned Chalice on TV and holy smokes, so much beautiful gay love. Had to have more!
Sherlock: As far as I recall,tli told me it was awesome so I watched it, and whaddya know, she was right. :o)
Five favourite characters of each fandom:
Not necessarily in order:
Supernatural: Sam, Dean, Castiel, Bobby and Gabriel.
DS9: Garak, Bashir, Odo, Dukat, Jadzia Dax.
Merlin: Merlin, Arthur, Leon, Morgana, Kilgarrah.
Sherlock: Sherlock, John, Molly, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade.
Three favourite pairings in each fandom:
Not sure I can manage 3 for all of them, but here goes:
SPN: Dean/Cas, Sam/Gabe, Dean/Cas/Sam/Gabe. (What? It's 3!)
DS9: Garak/Bashir, Kira/Dukat, Jake/Ziyal
Merlin: Arthur/Merlin, Gwen/Lancelot, Will/Morgana (Never actually read Will/Morgana, but I'd love to.)
Sherlock: Sherlock/John, Molly/Lestrade... and that's about it.
Alright, what’s your favourite thing about each fandom?
SPN: The sheer size. It's current and rampant and there's ALWAYS something new and exciting going on!
DS9: The fic. Still so much good stuff being written!
Merlin: Dragons, baby. DRAGONS! And Magic. What more do you need?
Sherlock: The gifs... no, really, just the fact that it's active and challenging and clever!
What annoys you/do you hate most about each fandom?
SPN: The wank. A fandom this huge and alive provokes some passionate debates which sadly often degenerates into wank.
DS9: The fact that it's pretty dead. :o(
Merlin: The fact that canon is so disappointing. But fanon more than makes up for it. :o)
Sherlock: It's a little thing, but it pisses me off when people call Watson "Jawn". I mean, wtf?!
Who is your favourite character in each fandom?
SPN: It might just be Gabriel. Yep. It probably is.
DS9: Garak.
Merlin: Uhm... Probably Merlin.
Sherlock: Tough. But I guess Mrs. Hudson has a special place in my heart.
Who’s you least favourite character in each fandom?
SPN: Becky. That actress has got serious skill to make me gag so violently.
DS9: Female Changeling. *shudder*
Merlin: I have no idea. So many contestants.
Sherlock: Moriarty. God he's annoying.
Have a crush on any main characters?
SPN: Well... Physically I'm a Dean girl (Damn, Jensen Ackles is a beautiful man), but Sam's Character speaks to me more. It's a tie, I think.
DS9: Another tie. Garak and Bashir. The ship is like a two-for-one sale. Hubba hubba. Although, one can argue that Garak isn't a main character, so in truth, Bashir might be the winner.
Merlin: Merlin is adorable. I just wanna hug him. Arthur, though? I'd fuck his brains out. M'yes.
Sherlock: Not really. They're all so dysfunctional. It's awesome, but not really something that awakens amorous feelings in me.
Anything you want to say to the creator(s) of each fandom?
SPN: STOP KILLING EVERYBODY! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!
DS9: Why bring on Ezri? I mean, dammit. Surely you could have done better...
Merlin: You need to stop stalling and get to the magic reveal. If you don't, nobody is ever going to buy that Arthur has enough brain cells to be any sort of king, let alone a legendary one. Jeez.
Sherlock: Gatiss and Moffat... you are trolls. True and utter trolls. I love it.
