I'm curious as to what other fandoms people here are involved in. Cuz I'm quite sure our lives don't revolve COMPLETELY around ponies... (Or maybe they do. It's hard to tell sometimes... ) Myself, I'm a diehard Lord of the Rings fan. I also enjoy Star Wars, though not as obsessively as I used to. I also love Fullmetal Alchemist...the twists and turns in that series are just amazing! Transformers is cool, too, but I'm not extremely familiar with all the different generations and stuff. And a few months ago I watched the entire series of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and decided it is utterly awesome. If you're looking for a good story, you should seriously consider watching it. So, what do you guys like?

Apart from MLP, I'm completely obssessed (and I mean it) with Yu Gi Oh (all series). I'm in love with the games Fable 2 (xbox360) and Oblivion (computer). I also love the Maximum Ride books by James Patterson, the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks (although I have only read the first one, it is amazing), Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, Naruto Shippuden, and I'm also a diehard Transformers fan. I think thats it.

Well, obviously MLP, but I also used to be pretty big into Buffy the Vampire Slayer until that series got too emo/ended and then I flirted with various fandoms but never quite settled on one until I found Gossip Girl and now I'm pretty big into that. ;D (Yay Chuck/Blair!) Except the thing is, the only real fanfiction I've written is for MLP. I can never quite bring myself to write for other fandoms because I feel kind of silly.

Hee. Looks like we're quite a diverse bunch. ;D Get what you're saying about only writing fic for MLP, sparkler. Though I am writing a bit for Avatar, and I'm constantly being bit by plotbunnies for that fandom. There's so much that can be done with it! I find my main problem with writing fic isn't the feeling silly problem--it's the keeping-everyone-in-character-and-true-to-the-canon problem. Character personalities can be kinda elusive like that... >.> MLPs are comparatively easier, since you can make up their character as you go.

Ooh? Really? Have you, like, LITERALLY bitten a Twitard? (Sorry, hope I didn't offend anyone, if you ARE a fan of Twilight, please don't take it personally.) Cuz if you have, I'd LOVE to hear about it! XD *hates those books. also hates Eragon. STOP RUINING MY BELOVED FANTASY GENRE, DANGIT!!!*

Oooh... Let's see I love the tv show Lost, but I'm not much into the fandom there, as people tend to think of all these theories while I just rather prefer to sit back and let the show entertain and surprise me I used to be a huge LOTR fan, but that died down a bit... I still love it for sure, but I'm not very active with it. I also love all of Robin Hobb's books and George R.R. Martin's A song of ice and fire series. They're amazing. I'm also a BIG anime fan. My favorite series would be Inuyasha (even after all these years I'm such a huge fan! XD ), Lucky Star, Aria... and I absolutely love all three Key series (Air, Kanon and Clannad). As for music, I am a huuuuge fan of Kajiura Yuki (seriously, her music is AMAZING as background music for writing) and Laura Pausini. Oh, and I guess I should incluse World of Warcraft as well... it's a fun game, but playing it too much totally drains out my writing skills... so I try to avoid playing more than a few hours a week

I am not big on Eragon and Twilight ether. I'm just not big on vampires. I do love werewolves, though! I've got my Grandpa Rudolph to thank for that! My mother used to get so mad at him for reading me werewolf stories whenever he babysat me. I also adore dragons! Eragon has got it all wrong by the way. I perfer many dragons like my massive collection on Dragon Cave, and my massive dragon collection decorating my apartment.

I perfer many dragons like my massive collection on Dragon Cave, and my massive dragon collection decorating my apartment. Werewolves are cool. ;D I don't mind vampires, but Stephenie Meyer kinda ruined them for me. I'll take Dracula over Edward any day... And Eragon...yeah, don't get me started on Eragon. The book goes on about how the Dragons and humans are equals, but I'm not seeing it. Most of the time Saphira is treated like a giant, sparkly, blue, reptilian, fire-breathing horse. Not as an actual character, let alone a giant dragon that can flambe you and chomp you down in a single gulp. My main issues with both stories, though, is the writing. If it can be called that. Neither author seems to know how to properly use the English language, they can't keep a plot moving, and someone needs to take Christopher Paolini's thesaurus away. (Again, no offense to anyone who actually LIKES those stories. It's nothing personal. )

same here! Dracula is a much better vamp then Edward! plus, Vamps hate sunlight. they don't sparkle in the sun, they burn! you kill them by staking them in their hearts, and garlic keeps them away.
Eragon, If it is susposed to be about a boy and his dragon, where is the dragon? half the time, Saphira is given on sentance while Eragon is given the whole book. Dragonriders of Pern does it right. plus, it is kept simple with six types of dragon, and the fire lizards are cute! The dragons are the stars of the books while their humans add depth to them. Also, the Pernese Dragons beat out the Eragon dragon every time.
(What Caelum said, no offense to those who love those stories.)

I dabble in a lot of fandoms (but don't write fanfic for most of them . . . Just enjoy ones written by others. ;D ) My Little Pony, of course. Transformers/Beast Wars . . . Rooobots in disguise! DC Comics, mostly the Justice League International characters. LOOOOVE! <3 Star Trek The Next Generation. Actually I like most of the Star Trek shows, but especially TNG. Star Wars. Da-da-da DAH DAH, da-da-da DAH DAH! Da-da-da DAH DAH, da-da-da DAAAAH! Highlander. Because there can be only one! Forever Knight, the quintessential vampire cop show! If you haven't seen it before, you can view episodes for free on Hulu, just click here. (Unfortunately Hulu doesn't work for non-American folks.)
