11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

In general, I'm pretty good at finding a little corner of people I like in any given fandom, and mostly avoiding the rest. I love my flist. I love Team Enabler. There are corners of just about every fandom that I try very hard to stay out of.

I don't know that I really have a current fandom--I haven't been producing much, which is how I usually measure it. If I were to talk about Due South--since that's mostly where my head is right now--I'd say that I quite like most of the people in it (albeit from a distance, since I'm reading rather than interacting). However, reminders of the Ray Wars pop up fairly frequently, and the bitterness there is remarkable and sad, and makes me kind of glad that I wasn't around when the fandom was really active.
