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!

The first thing that will happen is a huge rush of discussion, followed by a huge rush of fic.

After that, things will slow down, but not die out--it will most likely, imho, go to the level of other "perpetual" fandoms, like Tolkien or Douglas Adams or Star Trek or whatever--a major factor in the fan world, but the people who have to be on the latest bandwagon will move on to whatever comes next.

For myself, whether I drift out or stay in the "permanent fandom" will probably have a lot to do with how it works itself out. Are there lots of interesting things to talk about.
