rynneFilename meme, gacked from...a bunch of people, most recently from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neko_myka. These are all the filenames of my uncompleted fics.
absent moon.doc, andromeda tonks, agony aunt.doc, breaking restraint.doc, breaking storms.doc, cold comfort.doc, flutes of fancy.doc, his lady.doc, let him look.doc, mind over matter.doc, on the eves of sleep.doc, only time.doc, psalm 139.doc, pwp^2.doc, queerditch remix.doc, real unicorns.doc, red sky at night.doc, shades of grey.doc, vixy's fic.doc, why james is going insane.doc, xanadu.doc, years' map.doc, yours sincerely.doc
Twenty-two right there. o.O Some of them probably won't ever be finished, all that's required on others in order to be done is just some editing I'm too lazy to do, and some aren't even HP.
In other news, Zelda is sucking me in again. For the past week I've been playing Wind Waker, then on Friday I started a new game of Ocarina of Time, on Saturday I got to the Forest Temple and was bored, and so started a new game of Majora's Mask, which I've been playing all today (and I'll go beat Gyorg tomorrow). Now I just need to find my copy of Link's Awakening again...
I wish all my other fandoms were as popular as HP is. I love HP, but I love Final Fantasy, and Zelda, and Rurouni Kenshin, etc., just as much, only there's not even a tenth as much fic for all of those combined as there is for HP, and that makes me sad.
I wonder what is is that makes or breaks a fandom. I mean, there's accessiblity, for one thing. You have to have the right systems to play video games, and the Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda series are spread out over several systems. Plus video games take more effort to get through the story--you have to be active, not passive the way you can be with reading a book or watching a movie/tv series--it takes me at least a week to get through my RPGs, and that's playing for most of the day. Individual video games and anime also tend to be more expensive than most books.
*sigh* I suppose that's it. The video game fandoms aren't as popular because not as many people are willing to buy and play through them. Bah. Everyone should, though, as they're brilliant. And they have brilliant fics. *blows raspberry at flist* :p
