5 HOURS, GUYS! XD

I just went and bought a bag of Jelly Babies and two cans of coke to celebrate.

As if I need the extra caffiene.

Having said that, I'm a little apprehensive because I've got this creeping feeling of 'nothing's gonna be the same again', you know?

Still, it's gonna be AWESOME.

No spoilers in the comments, plzkthnx. :)

I'm so excited!

I feel the same way! I hope it doesn't change too much.

JB said something about it being very different but the heart and soul of it staying the same.

IDK. I just don't want to have waited this long for it and then...be disappointed, you know? (Happened to me with HP and the HBP. S'not fun. :P)

[carly-took.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. Any major changes would hurt the show and I don't want that to happen.

Oh I know! I do hope the extra wait until the series is worth it.

I didn't know you were a HP fan, that's awesome!

I didn't know you were a HP fan

Heh. That's a sign of how much I've changed. A couple of years ago you'd have known straight away, I never spoke about anything else! :)

[talkingtothesky]

Damn. Didn't use my HP icon. XP

I used to be like that when I first got into the fandom. I was all into ships/fanfic/videos/etc and then I got into Doctor Who/Torchwood and got addicted.

I'm still sort of a part of the HP fandom but I stay away from the drama and ship wars,which I have to say are the worst parts of any fandom.

[talkingtothesky]

No, I literally never talked about anything else. I would find a way to reference it in any conversation and if one of my friends showed even the slightest bit of interest I'd talk their ear off for several hours. :P (And if my tendency to write really long rambling comments is any indication, I don't think I've stopped! XD Sorry.)

then I got into Doctor Who/Torchwood Hee. You followed the same path as me! :)

I wasn't really into many ships with HP, wasn't particularly interested in the ones JK made canon, and I avoided the shipwars like the plague.

Unfortunately no fandom is immune to wars, it seems. (Which is actually one of the reasons why I love Life on Mars so much. While there's a gross imbalance when it comes to how much fic gets written for Sam/Annie and Sam/Gene, I've never seen a ship war between their supporters, not on LJ, at least.)

I pretty much stopped following HP fandom after a good deal of people went up in arms about the epilogue to DH and it shocked me how easily fandom seemed to turn on JKR and say how much they hated her. I still read the books and watch the films though, but admittedly I don't get round to it often when I'm doing exams/coursework and/or following Who and TW.

[carly-took.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get what you mean. As a writer, I really loved how JKR fleshed out her characters and developed them over the series.

And if my tendency to write really long rambling comments is any indication, I don't think I've stopped! XD Sorry.)

It's okay! I have a tendency to write long comments myself so I understand.

I agree about the LoM fandom too, it's a really happy place to be. I love both Sam/Annie and Sam/Gene myself and I'm so happy to find fic for both.

I kinda wish the TW/DW fandoms would change into that but I think it's always going to be what it is.
I'm just happy to find sane TW/DW fans like you to remind me that they still exist in fandom.
