[DON’T ACTUALLY LIKE THE FILM (fanfic flamingo) ONLY A FAN FOR THE FANFIC]

Do you have fandoms where you like reading and writing fic more than interacting with the source material?

I'm almost done with one of my fics. Spent yesterday and last night putting in research and writing. T__T I'm going to be so happy when I'm done with this one!

And yes there are a few fandoms I'm in more for reading the fics or drawing art for. Usually that's mainly because the fandoms are so big and I'm so hopelessly behind on them (for example Naruto, Detective Conan, and Homestuck) so I allow myself to get into the fandoms without interacting too much with the actual series too much (or whenever I can, which isn't often).

Wrote a lot today - however no new words for any of my fanfic WIPs - but that damn term paper needs to be finished. I don't think I am going to reach my goal for the Avenger fanfic this week.

No matter how boring and mundane a source can be, if something hits a nerve a good writer will producse some awesome stories based on a medicore or otherwise unlikeable movie, book or tv show.
For example, I don't think Van Helsing is a good movie - but the ideas it planted into my head. Some amazing stories have been written in that fandom and I hope my own contributes to those fanfics. However, they are also often medicore fanfics for every medicore movie, so I never actualy say that I am a fan for the fanfic - just a fan of some of the fanfics :D

RL has been insane for me this week but I managed (somehow) to post yesterday, hopefully I can get some more posting done today and tomorrow. As it's the Aberdeen Holiday this weekend I'm planning on staying in and writing, I've barely touched anything that I've been working on so it'll be nice to get back into it for a few days with no distractions.

There are a few fandoms where I can barely tolerate the source material but will happily sit and read fic for it as long it's well written and finding well written fics in some fandoms is difficult but worth it when a real gem pops up. I tend not to write more than a couple of fics for the fandoms I have little to no involvement with unless something from the source hits me and won't get out of my head until it's written.
