Last Friday, I learned about thefridayfive just minutes before I was due to leave for work and I knew that by the time I was next back on my laptop it would no longer be Friday. But this week I am here in good time to fill in the questions while it's still Friday, so let's go:

1. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!)
It's easily Pokemon right now. It's been on the verge of being Pokemon for most of my life, so I finally just gave in and let that happen.

The long answer is that my best friend and I were wrapping up our long-time RP series based on Hades Game. We had reached the point where we sensibly agreed that all the major plot-points were being wrapped up and while my OC Momus could've continued to make drama forever, we probably shouldn't let him do that. This was back when Hades II was still in production and we thought we'd pick something smaller to focus on, because we didn't want to start anything more in that universe before we knew how Hades II was going to end.

So we picked Pokemon. A few ideas set in the Pokemon universe had been on our list of potential one-shots for a long time. But I think we both knew going in that this was never going to be a one-shot for us. And in our usual fashion, it became a massive RP filled with so many characters and ideas that we want to explore, without any sign of stopping soon.

2. What was your first fandom?
Sonic the Hedgehog.

At the age of eight, another kid introduced me to Sonic the Comic, which was the UK's own Sonic comic. After buying issue 80 for myself and being sucked in by the cliffhanger of Amy Rose about to be attacked by a version of her friend who'd lost himself to some magic power, there was no way I would ever look back and I've been a Sonic fan ever since.

3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories?
Lots, I can imagine. To think of one for my current fandom, I like the headcanon that both Sada and Turo are Arven's parents (in each version of the game it only specifies the one who's central to that game) and they each went in opposite directions through the time-stream after leaving each other. Neither of them had much interest in poor Arven. :(

4. Have you ever created fanworks?
When am I not creating fanworks would be the question I'd find harder to answer. ;P

5. Are you still active in any old fandoms?
Yes, I am still somewhat active in the Sonic fandom, since I'm currently running a blog talking about Sonic comics there. I am vaguely present in the Hades Game fandom, though I've sort of backed off from making anything in that one for the time-being (I still love the series though). I'm not particularly involved in any other of my older fandoms right now, but you never know what comes around.
