Snowflake Challenge #3 | Changing Fannish Opinions

[silversea]

In your own space, talk about a fannish opinion you hold that has changed over time.

When I started out, I was pretty inflexible as a fan. Part of my inflexibility came from my editing days at wikis, anything that diverged too much or inconsistent with a canon got on my nerves. Weirdly enough, I was alright with AUs, something about them being intentionally different from the canon didn't bother me at all. I also had very strict opinions regarding ships, such as who got to top or bottom, some extreme NOTPs, and more.

Since then, I've mellowed out quite a lot. It's so interesting to explore what-ifs in canons, and I don't mind inconsistencies anymore. I still have some shipping preferences, but they aren't very strong anymore. It doesn't annoy me if I see something that doesn't match my preferences. Sometimes I even discover new likes!

When I look back, I marvel at how much energy I had. I have to say I much prefer this significantly chilled-out me :)

Tenho tentado ficar com a energia mais baixa, mas é só eu assistir algo que gosto como Smallville no momento que do nada me pego viciada em tudo, querendo saber mais e mais até ficar sobrecarregada.
