I don't have time to fill this out yet but it's SUPER FUN so by all means, take and share!

If fandoms were lovers...

The one who seduced you and screwed you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it.

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets.

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized they really were fucking crazy.

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to get together with again although you're relieved they don't actually live in town.

The Steady.

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never got really serious with.

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good friends because the friendship is there but the chemistry isn't.

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems really cool except it's never really gone anywhere.


The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at them and thinking, "How did they land all these utterly fabulous people?"

The one who gave you the best damned summer of your life and who you measure all other potential partners against.

The one you recently met at a party and would like to get to know better and who you think you might have a crush on.

The old flame that you wouldn't totally object to hooking up with again for a one night romp if only they cleaned themselves up a bit.

Your hot new flame.

The one who stole your people's hearts.

The one you’re embarrassed to admit you like, because your friends will all say you’re too good for them.



Also, instead of working on my NFE last night, I fell into a Narnia/GoT ASOFAI xover.  I regret nothing.
