Spn fandom, reviews, friends and thoughts

Just a heads up as to why I've not been doing my Spn reviews these last few eps.

I still enjoy the show but I've lost my enthusiasm and I need a break from it as it's really got me down.

When it comes down to a fandom becoming a problem and causing issues between a good friend and me, then something has to give. And as much as I've loved the show over the last 3 years, I've no problem dumping it if that's what it takes to make things right. And making it right is what I want if it's not too late.

There's some great people in the Spn Comms but it's hard to avoid the crazy ones, the constant whiners and the more creepy ones. There's now a 4 month hiatus until the next Season and I want some peace not petitions, debates on whether Jared and Jensen are pining for each other or seeing abusive Tweets designed to demoralise the actors or their wives. Enough is enough. 

The few of you I follow who are involved with Spn I'll still be reading your journals as you've never given me any cause for concern but I just won't be watching or involving myself anywhere else.

There are loads of other places to go on here and have fun and that's what I intend to do. After all, that's what I came on here for, to make friends and have fun.

Peace and love :)

Is it that weird a fandom? I was reading a very nice and heartfelt message from Jensen and the next thing I know the SPN-ers on my timeline are all enraged at other fans apparently bashing his head in? I mean.. really? You call yourself a fan, dont you?

So sorry you felt you needed to step away from it though :( *hugs*

I know it's only a TV show and I feel a bit stupid letting it all get to me tbh. So I just need a break from it.

I get to see Benedict next month in Frankenstein..maybe I'll get myself a new fandom! XD

Oh I sometimes need to take a break from the online world too. Sometimes it's just distracting, other times just depressing. We go there to be distracted from RL, no need to get depressed on there too right? :(

Hihi I hope so!! :D Although to be fair, Creaturebatch isn't so much pretty as it is an incredible performance :D

Sorry for butting in, but, Wait. Benedict Cumberpatch is Frankenstien, too? How do I not know this? Twitter has let me down. And isn't BC the new Master, besides the villain on Star Trek...who is that guy's agent?!

And again, I'm sorry about the fandom. But I think it's good you're using it as a opportunity to make new friends. LJ really seems to be popping these days!

Yep, BC certainly gets around. The film of the theatrical production (http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/feb/12/mary-shelley-frankenstein-national-theatre) I'm seeing, he's the Creature.
