New-to-You Fandoms
Hi! I thought I'd jump in here with a question. Are you currently into a fandom that's new to you (even if it's been around for a while?) What fandom is it? How do you feel about being a little late to the party, as it were? Let's get into it!
I'm going through this right now with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which has been around as long as I have (we're both a product of the late eighties) but I'd never thought about watching or reading until now. (I thought of it as a weird posing manga/anime with fighting robots? I was right about the posing, wrong about the robots and also like Steve Rogers, I get that reference!)
Right now, I'm very much enjoying consuming the canon, but as for producing fanwork... It's kind of hard to imagine producing anything that hasn't been done many times before. It's an old-new fandom conundrum, I think.
How about you?
