James Marsters Fandom

[caliente_uk]

A few people who answered my poll commented that James Marsters is their primary fandom, not the Buffyverse or SPN or Torchwood, etc. However, I hadn't even thought about the JM fandom being an option when I posted my poll, as I was thinking more about TV fandoms and was interested in finding out where the TV fandom interests of my flist lie these days. I probably should have been more specific in my original post about what I really meant. :)

I don't know why, but I think of TV fandom and JM (insert actor/actress of your choice here) fandom as completely separate from each other. I have my fannish interests involving TV and my (bigger) fannish interests involving JM. Spike, of course, fits into both categories, as without JM he would never have become the character we know and love. :)

Outside of TV, my primary fandom is without a doubt James Marsters. I actively participate in the JM fandom more than I ever have in any other fandom I've been a part of. I go to concerts, events and conventions specifically to see him. I've never done that with ANY other celebrity I've ever been interested in. If I meet someone once, I very rarely feel the need to meet them again. With JM, I'm always happy and squeeful when I get the opportunity to meet/see him again. I also enjoy the company of other JM fans, and meeting up with them is a huge part of why I'm still so involved in the JM fandom even after all these years.

I'm eagerly awaiting The Hub 3 and Hallowhedon conventions in October this year, where JM is a guest at both. I'll enjoy meeting/seeing the other guests of course, but JM is the main reason why I'm going. :)

What can I say? I'm a JM fangirl at heart! *g*

There isn't any reason for this post, other than to express my love for JM and the JM fandom. Long may it continue! :D

I like Tom McRae's music, so I can see why you like him. I honestly hadn't even thought of JM when I posted my poll. I see TV fandom and JM fandom as two completely separate things. :)
