Fandom memes

There seem to be several AO3/Fandom/Fanfic memes going around DW right now! My favorite is [personal profile] trobadora's Fandoms Poll. Because, poll.

So I am borrowing it. It's been too long since we've had a good poll!

Because whether you're new to my flist, or you've been around for a while and have fallen into new fandoms along the way, I'm curious what other fandoms we share. So here, have a long - very long - list of tickyboxes!

(You don't have to be currently active in a fandom to check it - so long as you retain some degree of interest, or feel a sigh of nostalgia, that's enough.)

And please treat the poll results as a friending meme - find other people who tickied the same tickies! Make friends!
Poll #21566 Shared fandoms poll!

[personal profile] china_shop also linked to a list of pre-DW fandom memes, and I am stealing The Top Five Reasons I Haven't Read Your Story because it seems very useful.

The Top Five Reasons I Haven't Read Your Story
1. Everything you've posted about it in your journal has been about your writing process and your feelings, but you haven't posted anything about why anyone other than you might want to read it.
2. You haven't posted about it in your journal at all, so I didn't know it existed.
3. You've successfully convinced me that your story will be amazing and brilliant (and/or long), and I don't have the energy to read anything but <10,000 word trashy braincandy right now.
4. It's in a fandom or pairing that I'm not just not in, I'm actively avoiding. It's not you, it's me!
5. Sorry, I'm currently spending all my spare time reading everything ever posted to AO3 in this pairing I have never before mentioned I was interested in and that nobody I know writes for. I'll get back to you when that's done.
