question for my flist - fandom jumping

[delorita]

Hi all!

I've never done this before but I am getting a bit overwhelmed lately. So, my dears, how do you feel about jumping fandoms? Looking at my tags page, I just KNOW I like too much stuff already. But more and more is suggested to me (Twilight, SN). And, knowing myself, once a friend has suggested it and I have looked into it, there is mostly no turning back. But I don't want to abandon my old fandoms especially since new fandoms always go along with buying new stuff and I just can not do that right now.

I'm sure this happened to all of you in some way or other. How do you handle it?

Fackeln im Sturm being kitsch ;)

Why do you think Lestat is being taken apart on stage? :3 I absolutely detest Scientology.
And Anne Rice... well... she lost her marbles a few years back and has become completely dilusional. Kind of amusing, actually XDDD But ever since then, her grandness has decided that she - in her perfection - doesn't need an editor. Everyone needs an editor, her grandness (especially) included.

If you would like to know what I meant by "lost her marbles"... she deemed it necessary to rant on Amazon six years ago and insult people who didn't like her newest book. And her rant was so hilariously bad, that I had to post an entry XD

See what I mean? :3

okayyy...Well, I think I read only 2 books from Anne Rice. So I can't say much about all that. Maybe if I picture Lestat as another actor, I might like him ;)

I know Anne R doesn't want fanfic about her characters at FF.net. (I wrote a story about Armand anyway lol)

And I don't know about Fackeln im Sturm anymore. I watched that 20 years back or so! Maybe I'll think the same about it now! I'll tell you when I started to watch it again ;)

I don't really like her style, it's too overblown for my tastes. I like my stories at least a little more to the point ;) But even I can tell that her earlier books used to be good (even if not really something for me).
Now, she's suffering from delusions of grandeur. And possibly schizophrenia (I hear Lestat is talking to her XDDD)

Let me know about Fackeln im Sturm when you get to it :)
