Ask Me My Fandom Opinion

How this works:
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Ask anything...I'm really not bothered.

2. ONE DAMN QUESTION.-- Nah, you can ask more than one, but I might or might not answer it.

3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.

Do you ever worry about the ending of your particular fandom? I worry about everybody getting fed-up with BtVS and AtS and disappearing over the horizon. ::sigh::

Well, as long as there are at least fanfic and/or fanzines out there, then it isn't completely dead.

Take the Ghostbusters fandom for instance. Fanfic and everything else related to it is currently barely a trickle, so it's still managing to survive after all these years. The only thing keeping it alive at the moment is probably nostalgia, and great authors.

I seriously doubt the Jossverse fandom will die, since there's just so much new stuff out there all the time. As long as it doesn't implode from hatred or flame wars, it should be fine in the long run.
