It is so strange finding people through lj that you haven't spoken to (well, written to) in years. It is doubly strange when they are in the same fandom as you again (or at least sharing similar obsessions 'cos fandom nowadays seem to be a bad word.) The whole thing make me feel strange as if I haven't really grown much, like the skin that I thought I had shed is still there. Then again, I suppose I haven't. I still read anime/manga, and I really I haven't even departed from the genera of anime/manga that I consume. I'm still a predominantly shounen reader/watcher, while yaoi/shounen-ai/shoujo is addictive it sadly don't seem to have the strong staying power for me. It is the heroes, the sidekicks, and the implications that lead to such a huge amount of yaoi doujin and fanfiction that attracts me. (Though CLAMP seem be the exception, but that is another can of worms that I just don't have the energy to tackle today.)

Anyways, a question to you all: What are some of your old fandoms that can still make you gush like a silly fangirl, or at least put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart?
