I give up. Fandom has moved on. I'm reading fic nearly exclusively at AO3. The Teen Wolf fandom is almost entirely on Tumblr. So I have one, unsurprisingly I am turnonmyheels over there.

[Poll #1859158]

Best Leverage Moment in a while:

Two good old boys
behind the wheel
chasing down bad guys in the Lucille

ON THE FLOOR

Shows that make me happy:
Political Animals
Teen Wolf <-- apparently it's my new primary TV fandom. I'm not even pretending to be ashamed of that.
SYTYCD

Things that are okay:
Leverage
Necessary Roughness
Suits <-- I need some fic that is Donna/Louis/Rachel. I'm not ashamed about that either. I'd like for it to be a couple hundred thousand words

Things I don't really care about but watch anyway:
True Blood
Alphas
Covert Affairs

Things that I can't quite make up my mind about:
Longmire
the guy I've been seeing

I don't know. I mean, I do know, they "re-blog for commentary" reblog the original or reblogged post, add what they want to say on the bottom and go about their merry way. I guess once these kids put their thought to the universe they don't really care to follow what happens next?

One thing I have noted: there is like, less than 1% wank with this method.

I don't understand. But then again, I haven't really had meta discussions with people about a fandom since Buffy. Sort of. I've mostly been a squee-er or talk to my beta, or my fandom friend who is front of it since Buffy.

Nonononononono! There's actually WAY more wank. Tumblr kids will lose it at the drop of a hat. It's just harder to report on since it's often hard to read/track and usually over fairlly quickly.

HUH. You know, I haven't seen a single thing. I do like that it makes it more difficult *to* wank. Maybe I will continue to be oblivious to it and go on skipping through the vervaine/wolfsbane

Things tend to blow over very quickly, I think because it's so hard to carry on a coherent conversation over there. By the time you find a meta post, the OP has already posted a gazillion other things and it's almost not worth commenting. It's not as easy to find wank as IMDB, but usually if you hear something that you know is bound to cause wank somewhere, all you have to do is look up the respective tags and you'll find it.

This is a really good example of what a large-scale tumblr wank looks like: http://www.journalfen.net/community/wank_report/1488.html?thread=8588752#t8588752

(Though it's not hard to find Sherlock wank because the Sherlock fandom apparently does it non-stop.)
