oh, is the new due south stuff ... somewhat good? i gave up on that fandom over a year ago - when it got really big and all these teenies were rushing in creating new communities and displaying other painfully noobish behaviour. i think china shop was still around, but most of the people whose writing i had been following had stopped being productive and the newsletter was full of rather bad freshman efforts from new people, it seemed like.

but yeah, so i like a medium-sized fandom (and occasionally a small one for variety!) because even if that good stuff isn't that wonderful, i kind of like, at least temporarily, being able to get excited about that more mediocre stuff. (of course after a little while the lack of truly fabulous stuff gets frustrating and i have to find another fandom to read in.)
