I'm describing my fandoms as relationships; guess which is which. To make it trickier, these are not all listed on my user info, and are not all the same type of media.
1. Where do I even start with you? Like a couple people here I ended up loving, you really turned me off at first, and I only persisted because of friends' insistance-- and I was bored and lonely at the time, to be honest. I don't love you in quite the same way that a lot of people do, and there's aspects of you that still drive me crazy. But you were there when I really needed you, and I'll always be grateful for that.
2. You are such a love-hate relationship. Your politics drive me mad, and if you must know, that's why I don't often introduce you to my friends. When we first met, you were so exciting, but our relationship just seemed to stall later on. The things that bugged me hadn't changed, and the things that I loved weren't there a lot of the time. Lately it seemed like some of the fire was back... but then it fizzled out again. I never completely trusted you, but now it seems clear that you are nothing but a great big tease.
3. I always said that I would never fall in love with anyone unless there was at least a little bit of sexual chemistry first. What I heard about you didn't make you seem like my kind of guy, and meeting you didn't set my heart racing. But someone I really trust told me to give you another chance, and even though you still didn't impress me much when I did, I hung around for her sake. What do you know, she was right: You have flaws (which she never denied) but you've got depth and charm too, and you seem to be working on some of your flaws. The sex is amazing, and I have to confess, I think about you all the time.
4. You were one of my first, and a true friend and shoulder to lean on when I needed one. You told me that I wasn't alone, and I really needed that. But I grew up, and you stayed the same, and I just can't connect with you any more. Your kid brother, though: he's all grown up now, and he's got everything I loved about you, but is much more in tune with my current style. A shame about his last appearance-- was he on drugs? Or just lost without his regular squeeze? Well, we won't talk about that. I'm hoping he'll go into rehab before I see him again.
5. I thought you were just a kid when we first met: cute, but totally not my type. But a friend insisted that we hang out a bit, and I realized that you'd grown up since I first checked you out. And you just kept getting cooler and cooler, and you ended up breaking my heart in the best possible way. People still give me funny looks some times when I tell them you and I are in a serious relationship, but I really don't care. I will never be ashamed of loving you.
6. You're my latest crush. Everything about you is bright and new and fun. I'm a little scared it won't last, but for now I'm just enjoying the ride. You really make me happy, and I'm so glad my friends like you too.
7. Me and my best friend met you on the very same day, and luckily, you didn't mind being shared. You were different from anyone we'd ever known, and you matched our interests like you'd been made for us. We had a long happy time together, the three of us, and the drifting apart was so gradual it hardly even hurt. I lost touch completely after a while, and I hear that you really went off the rails toward the end. Now lots of people have imitated you, but you were the first, and I keep thinking of looking you up again.
8. You led me on, back when I was just starting to meet people like you, and things were pretty cool, and then I walked into my kitchen one night and you were naked and gibbering and a loaf of bread was... no, I can't stand to think about it. It's too awful. I called the cops, and they took you away in a straight jacket. I guess it wasn't your fault, but it was a horrible shock, and I've never been able to look at you the same way since. Some people say you got better, but others say you got a better wardrobe but you're still just as crazy under the expensive suit. So far, I haven't had the nerve to check.
