[meme] June something - Day 6 and 7
Jun. 10th, 2020 11:35 amWhat is something that has surprised you about a fandom? Like, you expected the main fandom pairing to be X/Y, but the main pairing in fandom is actually X/Z. Or a pairing you expected to be slashed together isn't very popular?
There were some ships that I didn't expect to be so popular, like Spike/Xander in Buffy, or Childermass/Segundus in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
There were some ships that I loved, and expected to be popular and that are not, like Scar/Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 or Knives/Legato in Trigun
And there is the most frustrating variation: ships that I love, that I am surprised are not popular when I get in the fandom, and a few years later the fandom has shifted, now they're super-popular, but I'm less in them. (Enjolras/Grantaire in Les Misérables, Melkor/Sauron in Tolkienverse, Doug/Warlock in New Mutants)
What is your favorite celebrity interaction from any fandom you've had?
Author interactions are usually when I'm asking for a signature and are usually stressful because of social anxiety. At a comics convention, I chatted a bit with Cebulski, a minor author for Marvel comics, and he was nice, though! We talked about out favourite New Mutants characters and also of the level of control the editor has over the plot.
