that question meme...

[ratcreature]

I always feel kind of odd doing memes that require reader participation to work, but since everybody seems to be doing it, and I'm a meme sheep:

1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.

(Also, on the small chance that there's someone who wants to ask more than one question, I don't really care about limiting it to one, it's not like I'm likely to be flooded with questions or anything like that.)

There must be some things that you're a fan of, that don't have an online fandom. If you could create a fandom around one of those things that you're a fan of, what would it be?

That's hard, because most things I'd love to have a thriving fandom, have at least a tiny if often fairly inactive online fandom. For example I'd love for Jeremiah to have a real fandom with a decent amount of fanfic. I mean even Catweazle has an online fandom in the sense that there's episode guides and a fanclub website.

I'd also love to be able to create a fandom for some less popular corners in comic fandom, like it'd be awesome if there was an Animal Man fandom. For that matter, I'd even settle for a large (comic-based) Daredevil fandom. (I still wonder where the people writing him might be hiding, surely they must be somewhere, what with him being a rather well-known character.)

I think if it had to be a fandom for something with no online fandom at all, I'd probably pick the tv series Catweazle.

Argh, I posted the previous comment before I finished editing. *grrr* The last sentence in the comment above was supposed to be: "I think if it had to be a fandom for something with no online fanfic fandom at all, I'd probably pick the tv series Catweazle." Because while there's some Jeremiah fic, I haven't seen any Catweazle. Though I'd love a ton of Jeremiah fanfic more than a ton of Catweazle fanfic, no matter that I'd like to see some for the latter.
