chelseagirlSkipping Days 9, 10 & 12.
Day 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
I fall in love with a story or a world, for the most part, and when it's not capturing my imagination anymore, I start to drift. The thing that pushes me away is if the fandom is all about a particular pairing, and that's all anyone's interested in. If only part of the thing is of interest to me, that's not enough to draw me in. I like talking to people who have different favorite characters, different OTPs in the same fandom.
Day 13: Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
As long as people are doing what makes them happy, that's cool. I just won't read it if it's not for me. I have to admit I don't "get" certain things, like mpreg or A/B/O, but if others are having fun with it, good for them.
HOWEVER, there are certain fanon conventions which drive me absolutely spare in a particular fandom, but which wouldn't make sense to anyone here. Oh, and too many cutesy stories about main characters when they were children. Once in awhile, sure, but please keep it to a minimum. "But that's not a squick?" you're saying. Fair enough.
