kryptonitemonkey | Fic ponderance and amusement (Reply)

You know, I find it amusing that even amongst all of the varied geeky, fannish groups, we all have things from other groups that make us go, "wow, now that's too geeky even for me." But really, the amusing part comes when one sits back and realizes just how geeky one's own pursuits are, and how often those things we find too geeky are really just the same thing, but merely another fandom. I occasionally have moments where I find myself looking at the fanfic or music done for a specific fandom and wondering why anyone could possibly do something like that; then I remember the fics I've written and have to go bury my head in something with the embarrassment of it all. I think that often the only real difference is that I have not (yet) gotten into that particular fandom. We're all just a few good episodes away from joining in. We geeks and such tend to be simply fans of something with a creative spark and a singular focus. Now if only we could get sports people to realize their geekiness...
