bookofdanielvol21. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!)
For specific recent ones... I guess Expedition 33 (recently played/still working on post-game content), the Sabotage Studios game universe (currently including Sea of Stars and The Messenger), and Life is Strange (played and completed the whole series since January) would, almost by default, be the most notable recent additions.
2. What was your first fandom?
TMNT was probably the first really huge one for me.
3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories?
I really dig the idea of the "Tommy Westphall Universe" - the theory that through various crossover episode connections between shows, the ending of St. Elsewhere - that that entire series took place inside an autistic boy's mind as he looked into a snow globe - set off a chain reaction that led to probably at least half of every TV show ever, various movie franchises, and - arguably - real life itself also all take place in the boy's mind.
For personal headcanon stuff, one big one I have is simply booting the Burial at Sea DLCs out of my BioShock headcanon.
4. Have you ever created fanworks?
Nothing too serious, unless some super-crappy Final Fantasy fanart drawings I did as a teenager count.
5. Are you still active in any old fandoms?
Oh, totally. I'm a lifelong Three Stooges fan; TMNT is still cool; I've still never bothered to outgrow wrestling since starting watching as a kid in the late '80s... for general categories, stil a game junkie; have fallen off of movies the last couple of years but need to get back to them. Currently "rereading" Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories/Last Kingdom series, which I've been a big fan of for the last decade or so (I've already listened to the audio versions of the Warlord/Arthur trilogy, which is probably my very favorite Cornwell.
