WriterConUK , poll results and a new fandom interest...

I hope everyone who's going to Coventry has a wonderful time this weekend, and look forward to reading all about it! :)

I have a busy weekend coming up, as my husband and his family are throwing a joint 70th birthday party for his Mum and Dad on Saturday. It should be...interesting...to say the least, as family occasions so often turn out to be. But I'm also hoping there will be a lot of fun to be had too! *g*

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post (I'll respond to individual comments later), and also to those of you who took the poll. It's good to see that there are still quite a few of us left in the Byffyverse fandom, even if some of us are also enjoying our new and shiny fandoms. And it turns out that Spike is still the number one character for most of you. Yay! :D

I can't see any other character ever taking the number one spot from Spike for me. *hearts him*

Although...I do have to admit that I'm finding Eric from True Blood incredibly sexy intriguing this season. He didn't have much of an impact on me in S1, but his new look and more involved storylines are blowing Angel Bill Compton out of the water this year! I'm definitely going to be drooling over him looking forward to seeing more of him as the series progresses. *g*

James Marsters Fandom

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
