... it can't just be Steph and me.
Mar. 5th, 2012 10:58 pmI think of myself as "fannish" about media that have something like characters and storylines (text, (web)comic, video, rpg)
My interaction with (at least some) fandoms (even if they're not my primary/not a big deal) includes:
Consuming at least part of the canon
52 (86.7%)
Consuming the entire (or the most available) canon at least once (includes skipping that one bit you've been warned of)
51 (85.0%)
Consuming the canon multiple times (includes single-full-or-best & multiple partial)
49 (81.7%)
Interacting with other fans
55 (91.7%)
... to share squee/good bits
51 (85.0%)
... to share general thoughts
52 (86.7%)
... to share bad bits/complaints/stuff that could have been better
48 (80.0%)
Discussions/essays, with self or others, about "meta" topics
39 (65.0%)
Reading or participating in meta discussions started by others
44 (73.3%)
Creating fanworks
36 (60.0%)
... Creating fanworks intended to be as close to canon as possible
21 (35.0%)
... Creating fanworks that deliberately explore transformative aspects (such as relationships not seen in canon, or chunks of shared fanon) but not intended to be an alternate universe
33 (55.0%)
... Creating fanworks that differ enough that you would call them an alternate universe
27 (45.0%)
... Creating fanworks that are specifically an alternate universe of other fanworks (possibly AUs themselves) rather than fanworks of the original
12 (20.0%)
Consuming fanworks
51 (85.0%)
... Consuming close-to-canon fanworks
54 (90.0%)
... Consuming other non-AU fanworks
49 (81.7%)
... Consuming alternate universe fanworks
48 (80.0%)
... Consuming fanworks of other fanworks
37 (61.7%)
Other fannish activities not mentioned
29 (48.3%)
Engaging in fannish activities for a fandom without having consumed its canon
33 (55.0%)
Engaging in fannish activities for a fandom that has left its original canon far behind, without having consumed the canon
22 (36.7%)
None of the above applies
1 (1.7%)
Original private fandoms
At least one of my fandoms involves an original (or serial-numbers-filed-off, or significant AU) fandom that has not been publicly or formally released
21 (48.8%)
... it's released now (or will be very soon), BUT I LOVED IT BEFORE THEN! *hipster glasses*
8 (18.6%)
... and I am a creator/co-creator
11 (25.6%)
... and I interact fannishly as well as with my creator hat on
9 (20.9%)
... I/We skipped or have been slacking on canon creation because fanworks are more fun
5 (11.6%)
None of the above applies
19 (44.2%)
LOL, *really*, Azz?

(If anyone academic/etc. feels like playing with results, I would ask that you respect the privacy of the respondents as if their data were anonymized, as this journal is mostly a play-zone, not a study-zone.)
