Last night I dreamt...

[xtremeroswellia]

That I was a spy for the CIA and was good friends with Sydney Bristow.

Now let me admit something here...I've never, to my recollection, ever dreamt about Alias before. Dreams are what generally eggs me into becoming a part of a fandom. I find it odd and a bit depressing that now I dream about it as there are only what...three more episodes left? I'm not about to hop into a fandom where the show's ending. That's just not healthy for me.

I'm actually pretty happy in the Smallville fandom...you never really know when you get into a show and start writing fic how you'll be received by the other fans, but everyone's been so nice and welcoming and I feel right at home here.

That being said, there are days where I intensely miss previous fandoms I've been in: Roswell, Angel, Third Watch...and most of all right now...Joan of Arcadia.

I know it's because of the approaching date, but yesterday I sat in front of my computer and just stared blankly at the screen for hours as writer's block seized me in my current SV fic...because all I could think about was how much I miss Joan and Grace and Judith and Luke and Adam and...well, you get the idea. *sigh*

In some tiny and stupid self-centric way I feel like it's my fault that the show didn't get revived because if I had just done more with the campaign, then maybe another network would've picked it up. I know rationally that's retarded because I SO don't have that much control over the universe, but there's still that lingering feeling that I just can't get rid of.

If Smallville, God forbid, gets canceled, I'm done. No more fandom anything for me. My little fandom heart can't take it anymore.

And that's the same feeling I have with the whole "A House Divided" thing, except I'm on the end going 'If the show doesn't get picked up it's because we did a campaign'. Of course it's a crazy notion, but it's hard not to think it. I just keep hoping that this show does get picked up and then maybe someone I know will start to return my phone calls.

I've got your fics bookmarked to read, but I haven't read them yet. Soon, though- they look good :)!!!

After Roswell was cancelled, I wasn't ACTIVE in any fandoms for a couple of years- even though I was watching and liking SV among other shows. And then in late S3, I just jumped back in. Fandom fatigue hits, I know. *hugs*

I've had that feeling before, that I just won't invest in any more shows and get my heart broken. But then there comes a wave of really good shows and I give in. But I don't go whole hog into fandom or write fanfic, so I imagine that's a more intense experience. (If I am going to spend lots of time writing fiction, I'd want to get legitimately published. I'd love to see you write your own characters and stories!)

We all did what we could for JofA and the networks had all made up their minds already that they couldn't afford to pick it up. It would still be nice to get a wrap up of some sort (wish Barbara had Joss Whedon's penchant for comic books) but I guess we can't count on it. But we can extrapolate that God and Joan continue on in some universe, making the world a better place.

*g* Barbara has actually said she'd like to write a book about what would have happened when she gets some time, so, you know, that's always possible, but she's so busy right now, it's not looking like it'lll happen in the near future...

I really miss Joan of Arcadia too. Stupid CBS replacing it with Jennifer Love Pukett. :( *hug*

*huggles* I totally understand, Joanith. Send a letter with me on the 18th? For old times' sake? It's about as likely as flying pigs, Hell freezing over, and Bush growing a brain, but, well, it may help us feel better. And there was *NOTHING* else you could've done for the campaign, I swear it. I still have all our IMs from then, remember. You were obsessed. You were in contact with practically *everybody*...I mean, I don't remember the Roswell campaigns getting nearly as much media exposure (you were interviewed for a frickin RADIO program! there was an article in THE ***AP***. I know for a fact we were mentioned in the Washington Post (a friend who lives in D.C. emailed me special the day she saw the article) You did everything but sell your soul to the devil and give up a limb or your firstborn...If it helps, I feel the same...*sigh* I wish I could throttle Les...*wanders off to contemplate violence toward Les*

It would be rude to laugh here right. k/j At least you didn't say you were done with Soapdom cause then I might really laugh. Something I've learned over the years that I wouldn't trade short cut shows I got if I new the out come. Well okay maybe JAG and Gilmore Girls. JAG was like beating your head aginst the wall for nine years. And in one season GG manged to take one of my favorite tv characters and turn him into one of my most hated. All that being said I probally would still watch it. But that's just me.
