And I recently finished and adored Halt and Catch Fire. E.g., I’m currently pretty obsessed with Succession.

(There’s been a lot of non-SF/F TV that I’ve loved, too, and that I also haven’t felt compelled to read/write fic about. So maybe it’s more about the bookness and the amount of character interiority than it is about the genre? But I think I could imagine doing so more easily than for my favorite books. And even though I don’t have issues with Watership Down, I’d love to have more of it.) Is it because I don’t seem to ship non-canonical ships very often or strongly in those works (and why is that)? Is it because my favorite books spend a lot more time closely in the characters’ heads, and leave far fewer spaces in the canon to wonder about and want to fill in? (I suspect that’s a lot of it, and also I guess that likely contributes to why I don’t generally develop non-canonical ships… The characters’ thoughts don’t leave me room to do so.) I also have loved a lot of SF/F shows that weren’t based on books (e.g., Battlestar Galactica, BtVS, Firefly, and in a fairly different way Star Trek), and I’ve never felt compelled to transform any of those, either. Is it because I’m more content with those works as they are? (I have so many issues with WoT, though, despite my love of it. Someday I need to figure out why my favorite books are all SF/F series, but I don’t seem to feel compelled to be in transformative or even very participatory fandom for those. But I don’t feel any desire to transform any of the canon characters/relationships, despite the myriad problems with them, and in the absence of that, I’d rather just write my own original fic than try to fix the messed up gender dynamics of that world.)
And some better approaches to polyamory across the various cultures. (Though I still would like to read lots of nonbinary and agender WoT fic.

And I guess despite my having a lot more ambivalence about WoT than most of those, that series is also pretty firmly in the category of stuff I don’t feel the need to transform. And similarly with a bunch of my other favorite books/series – e.g., Watership Down, Earthsea, His Dark Materials, Imperial Radch, Murderbot – I just seem to want to consume the canon (and hear others’ thoughts about what details they particularly liked or what themes they noticed) but not to transform it. I didn’t really have any ships (which also made it harder to find fic that spoke to me). I didn’t feel called to read or write much fic. But I just wanted to lurkily read theories about where the books might be going, and reblog the occasional fanart or gifset. ASOIAF were my favorite books for many years, and GoT was one of my favorite TV shows (despite many issues). And my fondness for the show isn’t nearly as intense as my adoration of Sherlock S1-S2 was… But neither of them is the kind of canon I expect to fall for (though Sherlock is certainly closer).īecause it’s not like I haven’t been fannish about other stuff, in very different ways. At least, I felt compelled to feverishly write 10K about them, and I haven’t done that since Sherlock. Instead, somehow I’m falling down a Ted Lasso rabbit hole…? After ~eight years since my last big fandom swoon, the one that brought me into participatory fandom, it seems like possibly I have a new fixation and new OT3. I have some mixed feelings about the series so far that I was going to get into here, and I’ll probably get into those in some other post.) (This point in time being in the aftermath of the series launch on Amazon. Tbh, earlier this year, I half expected to be an all-Wheel of Time blog at this point in time.
