"Although these characters are Indian/Pakistani-English, Filipino-Canadian and African-American"

That's the actors, not the characters. Florida definitely isn't in Canada. ;-)

Sometimes, online or at cons, I feel so conventional in my fandom tastes. Then I go back to watching things with my RL geek friends and get teased about being the obsessive slasher.

I've always felt a little bit weird about real person fic, so that's probably part of why I never really considered bandfic. I'm not interested in it at all, despite really loving music and really loving some bands. (Amusingly, one of my current favorite bands is a local band that's made it big in the last few years, and the singer used to date one of my friends, and there's a song quite explicitly about him on the latest album. And some of my friends really don't like the singer personally, which leads to odd and amusing dynamics if I, say, wear a band t-shirt. I do try to avoid wearing my shirt with a picture of the singer around said ex, even though I know that they're cool, the ex even did some performance art at a show I was at a few months back.)

I've watched House for years (though I missed s3 for no good reason) and I was never very shippy about it. I joked around about House/Wilson but never read any fic. And then suddenly, boom, "Joy" happens and I find myself shipping House/Cuddy *hard*. It realy blind sided me! I didn't realize I cared!

I just don't consider music fandoms at all when considering this. Does that make me strange? Are you reading Foo Fighter fanfic, for instance?

I keep wondering about things like this. What makes shows like "House", which are totally not SF at all, seem to fall so easily into having the same kind of fandom that SF shows have? Is it just quality? Is there some other aspect? I wonder as I wander!
