Ooh, thank you for those links. I knew about dotcoms refresh but the others are new.

I resisted the urge to bandom for a looong time. I started out with music, first with Green Day and that led into MCR, and then I found out about stagegay and read some picspams, and then eventually hung around macro communities for a while. But I really only just got into the fanfic side of things and despite my longstanding resistance I feel I am now TRAPPED. Which is, of course, fabulous.
