Maybe I'm just temporarily burnt out on fandom or something

[drakyndra]

Erm, for no adequately explained reason - and this is my brain I am unable to explain the rationality of right here, which may be a problem for me - I have not as yet seen the most recent Doctor Who episode.

I mean, I have in it my possession. Pretty much everything I have heard about it seems rather good. It sounds like the sort of thing I'd like. I had plenty of time to watch it this afternoon.

And yet, I can't bring myself to watch it.

WTF, brain?

_{...I probably won't get to watch it for a while, either, given this is a busy week in terms of Uni work.}

I think that's it: When one has fandom burn-out, it doesn't work so well. Because fandom's supposed to be the place you want to escape to not escape from.

The fact that this episode, though supposedly good, is also supposedly... not that cheery doesn't help, either. There are times when I feel like good, thoughtful sad stuff. Fannish burnout does not inspire this, though.

So instead I am thinking about Uni work, and watching Animated Batman and reading Dresden Files.

I'm not quite done being distracted by Hot Fuzz yet. It has gunfire! And explosions! And more gunfire! And massive amounts of completely on-purpose gay subtext! But there needs to be more fanfic for it. I'm currently trying to work out a Doctor Who crossover involving Four, because he's always fun.

Hot Fuzz is insanely incredibly awesome. I don't have any desire to get into the fandom, but I cannot deny the awesomeness of it.

No one can deny the awesomeness of it! No one! But I only sort of poke around on the outskirts of the fandom and attempt to write the odd fic here and there, I don't even post my stuff to the main comm, and I only really read fic by people I know or that's been recced by people I know. And in that fandom, "people I know" basically means "phosfate".

If you ever want to read any really good fic for it, though, her stuff is brilliant. And her artwork, too. It's love.
