Heeey, another QAF fan - groovy! :D

I suck at compiling these sorts of lists cuz I always forget so much stuff, but a few off the top of my head are:

- Teen Wolf
- Supernatural
- Gargoyles
- horror (especially anything to do with monsters)
- The Last Unicorn
- Beavis & Butthead
- Invader Zim and Johnny The Homicidal Maniac
- The Dresden Files
- also only Dr Who with the 9th and the 10th :D
- TMNT (obviously)
- The Crow
- waaaay too many queer movies/tv series and books to go into
- a lot of non-DC/non-Marvel comics like Hack/Slash, classic Hellblazer, Blacksad, Purgatori, Evil Ernie, that kind of thing.

I've probably forgotten a lot of stuff - like I said, I'm lousy at these lists - but that's some of the stuff coming to mind at the moment. :)

- TMNT
- Legend of Zelda
- Captain Tsubasa
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes
- Sailor Moon
- Kimagure Orange Road
- One Piece

This list is in no order except for TMNT which is my number 1 fandom in a long shot.

There's also other franchises I like a lot but can't say I'm much into their fandom. Like F-Zero, per example. Love the games but don't really care much about the characters. Same goes for Street Fighter. Sure, I like several fighters but I'm talking about their movesets here, not their personality and background.

There's also other franchises I like a lot but can't say I'm much into their fandom.

Ditto that; I love MLP:FiM, but I've got zero interest in having anything to do with the fanbase as a whole, though talking to individuals who I happen to meet on here is cool. One of the primary reasons being two words: pony porn.

Same again with The Sopranos and Xena - love the shows, not really interested in getting involved with the fandoms though; no reason in particular for that one though.

I'll add Sailor Moon, Jem, Thundercats and She-ra to my 'favorite fandoms' list as well. :)

Kind of in a loose order, but not particularly.

-Superman more than absolutely anything. More or less my religion...

-...other than Hulkamania, which is my official religion.

-Pro wrestling in general, although I'm less a fan ever since getting involved with it. I still love to watch it, but knowing how awful of a business it is has tainted it. I can still appreciate it on an artistic level, though.

-Everything related to DC Comics, up through 2011 I've hated all the books they've out out since, but the cartoons and movies are still pretty good. Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Guy Gardner, and Booster Gold are my non-Superman favorites.

-He-Man/Masters of the Universe. I prefer the original for sentimental reasons, but it's all good.

-Ghostbusters. I've always been a huge, huge, borderline-obsessed Ghostbusters fanatic. Whenever I run into people who haven't seen much of me since I was a little kid, they most remember me as a Superman and Ghostbusters fan more than anything.

-Thundercats. I'm aware it hasn't aged well, but as a kid there weren't many things I liked more, so I've stayed into it.

-TMNT, obviously. It's a huge part of my life, I just feel more strongly about other things.

And as a general rule, other than this message board I almost never talk with other fans about the things I like. It never seems to work out. People have their own personal reasons why this or that is so important to them, but I find when people start discussing it in depth, their individual interpretations of it cause a disconnect and then an argument, as if one of them is liking it "wrong". So while I am very, very passionate about the things I love, I mostly keep it to myself. Which is fine. I'd rather just like the things I like, rather than get into a debate about whether or not the Dolph Lundren movie was a fair representation of the He-Man franchise. It's fun once in a while, but it gets old sometimes. This place is exhausting by itself. :lol:

Well, the question was "favourite fandoms", not franchises. And honestly, I have never been in a fandom that was fully enjoyable for me. Every single one I've ever been apart of had facets that made me ****ing hate it.

That said, Digimon's fandom is the least awful, since the only thing I hate about it are sub-loyalists and people that are still butthurt over 02's ending. I like the franchise for the monsters, not so much the humans, so I didn't get butthurt over it at all and while it was funny for the first half of the first decade, it got insanely irritating after that.

Seriously. People are still angry about it. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody quoted me just to tell me how angry they still are.

Ah, good call on the fandom/franchise distinction. In that case, I'll say "None", for the reasons given earlier. Fans of anything are, by definition, kind of nuts. :P
