If Fandom Were My Lover

eumeliaThis is all in the name of wasting time and cheering myself up!
The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart in a million pieces, and laughed about it is genuinely sorry, but to whom you're reluctant to grant forgiveness, because you know how that song and dance would go:
Torchwood
I haven't participated in fandom for nearly a year, if not more. But I still follow the fandom from afar, like the lurking stalker that I am. I can't give up on Jack.
The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: The series.
Talk about old. The first fandoms I remember reading fanfiction about. So much love, forever.
The mysterious dark one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 AM at weird coffee houses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized s/he really was fucking crazy:
Sherlock
So much potential, but I couldn't handle the craziness.
The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor and whom you'd still really like to get with again, although you're relieved s/he doesn't actually live in town:
Iron Man
It came just when I needed it.
The steady:
I don't have one, alas, I'm a serial monogamist, so I tend to last long with my fandoms, but it's never forever.
OMG! Star Trek! It has been there for nearly 20 years and it will never go away.
The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties, but with whom you've never gotten serious (and find that it's a bit of a shame you haven't, at that):
White Collar
So handsome, so witty, so not my thing in the long run.
The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with, but ultimately you're just good buddies:
Harry Potter
I never really got into the fandom, but I love the canon (EWE!?) and the fics keep on coming, so I do spend some time on the margins.
The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool person except it's never really gone anywhere:
Life on Mars
UK, obviously. It's a lovely show, but I can't seem to love it like it wants me to.
The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How the hell did they land all these cool people?"
Supernatural
I hate it. With the heat of a thousand suns.
The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and who you measure all other potential partners against:
Inception and X-Men: First Class
The former I met last summer and the latter this summer. Both seem to be getting on fine. Who said I couldn't juggle?
The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better:
True Blood
Despite meeting the show four years ago, this is how I feel about it.
The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they'd clean up a bit:
Buffy and Angel and Torchwood.
I see a re-watch in my future.
Your hot new flame:
Hawaii Five-0
And how. Oh my god.
The one who stole your significantother friend:
Doctor Who and Batman Nolanverse
Seriously, like, for a while I was the expert on things DW when it came to me and BFF and suddenly she's talking to me about the Fourth Doctor! WTF.
She can't stop watching the teaser trailers. I'm keeping myself "pure"(ish) for the summer of 2012.
