Fandom and Deathly Hallows

[thescarletwoman]

While sitting on the couch today, resting my hand (it is MUCH better, at long last. Not picking up the violin any time soon -- but it's better!) I started thinking about the release of DH only 100 some odd days away, what will happen to fandom.

So -- a little poll. And please, pass it around. I'd love to get a huge response!

I think things will slow down as they inevitably due when a story comes to an end. We'll lost a bunch of people but others will continue to hang around. It's been 40 years since Star Trek first aired. There are still ST:TOS fans. It's been 10 years since Buffy first aired. There are still Buffy fans. There are still Babylon 5 fans and Lord of the Rings fans and old school Battlestar Galactica fans and Robin of Sherwood fans etc. Plus there are new fans out there who have never read the books or seen the films, regardless of their age, and they'll suddenly find it, get the bug and want to talk to other people about it.

It won't be as bright and shiny and filled with speculation but people will still want to draw pretty pictures and write stories and play in the sandbox, even if it's now a smaller and less exciting one.
