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?

:DDD! Yes. And his always being there. I was like, Oh, man, creepiest thing ever. I would have felt sorry for Daniel for having met the vampire world's obsessive, but he didn't seem to mind too much, and Armand always helped out when he was needed. I wrote really bad Daniel/Armand angst when I was 12, 13, 14, 15. :D

Armand is totally lying. He is like me with my fandoms. HE NEVER GETS OVER IT. He probably still has a thing for Claudia & Nicky, and he just used them to get to Lestat 200 years ago.

Worst explanation ever. :D What, is Lestat the only one who's exempt? Maybe Daniel just drank his brain cells away, and it's only now showing up. DO NOT TELL ME ARMAND IS STILL WITH BENJI AND SIBYLL. >:( Benji is like Claudia with extra sociopath flavour, and Sibyll is stupid and insane. ~~Quick, Armand, throw them in the sun before they're too powerful to die!~~

(It's pretty cracked-out. :D Awful parody characterisations, some of them painfully spot-on.)

Can't feel sorry for Daniel. He's one of the few people who asked for it and got what he wanted. Hell, he was actually a consenting adult when he was made, knew exactly what he was getting into and seemed to have really enjoyed himself. And Armand did help, always pulling Daniel out of one problem or another. I read/dreamt/imagined about Armand/Daniel for the longest time.

*laughs* Total agreement, Armand is indeed like me and my old fandoms. I just keep on going back to them. Everyone have a thing for CLaudia. The girl is like a highly infectous disease. (Adore her, but Claudia did things that set her own fate in stone.) As for Nicky, I wish there had been more on him. Of course Armand would still have a thing for them. He is incapable of letting go.

It is the worst explanation. The book probably explained it better, but for the life of me I can't remember how it was explained. Well, Lestat was in that coma-like state for a pretty long time. I suspect Armand is still with Sybill and Benji. But darling, Claudia had more class and more sociaopahtic tendencies in her little pinky that the Twits.

(And the RPG is damn hilairous. I see what you mean about accurate. Hindsight and all that.)

He'd been pretty much begging for it for a while, hadn't he? And if he didn't expect Armand, at least he must have expected something, going to search for Lestat and all. Yeah. Can't feel sorry for him for that.

I felt so sorry for Claudia--she got turned to dust back when vampires actually could die. :D If only she'd waited around another book or two... and, hey, if she'd waited around three, she wouldn't even have to worry about the never growing up thing, because she could've made a fledgling and then switched bodies.

Well. Lestat was in the coma, but he never went suicidal or stupid-insane. And what about Armand? (I will just blame Rice for this. She stopped making much sense pretty soon after she fired her editors.) That's probably true. Oh, Claudia. :/ She wouldn't have hesitated to kill those two before anyone could do something stupid like make them immortal. I miss her.
