Hmm. Well, even though I've barely started in on my multi-fandom ways, I feel like my brain has been there for a really long time. I've always felt like there are fandoms that, while I love them to death, I'll never write for them. There are lots of reasons for that though. One of my favorite shows is Burn Notice, but I don't feel like it needs fanfic. I know it has some, but for me, it's just not that sort of show. It doesn't have a lot of wiggle room. (Even if it was, I'm not sure I could manufacture the complex plans that they execute every week.) I don't think there are a lot of fandoms that would ruin it for me by writing in them, because I shy away from the crazier ones. Of course, IY's makes me want to scream and run away sometimes, lol.
It's odd, because I feel like the shows that I'm slower to fall in love with are the ones that I end up writing (or planning to write) for - Doctor Who, NCIS, Buffy and even to an extent Firefly, which I loved dearly and immediately but took awhile for me to begin watching at all. I don't see *all* the episodes before writing/thinking of writing, but I do get a bit obsessive. :P I have a pretty terrible memory *except* when things are put to me in story format. (I'd remember every detail of the cases we read in law school if they were interesting, but the ones that didn't explain enough of the facts for? I was useless.) I don't watch things over and over again, but I explore all the nuances to fill out the story.
Anyway, as you know, I've been having issues with consistent writing these days. I have lots of scraps of ideas written down and floating around in my head. I can keep the ideas themselves straight, but after I've gone through a drought, it takes me awhile to get back in the grove of the tone of each story. I have to find my mindset again. I definitely can't sit down and write a few minutes on my lunch-break, even on the best of days! :P
