continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

DA

I'd be willing to bet that it would be a Western-based book, movie, or tv show fandom; I don't think he's ever shown any interest in any Eastern-based canons. While I wouldn't completely rule it out, I'd also guess that he wouldn't go for a video game fandom, since it would take so much time and effort to consume the canon. I've noticed he also takes to canons involving some kind of fantastical element (only exception to this I can think of is Hornblower?) that have large-to-mega fandoms surrounding them.

I'm genuinely surprised he's never tried to get into Dr. Who.

I'd say not only Western, but in English. He needs to be able to deconstruct the canon itself in order to properly work his ~word magic. With a canon in a foreign language, he would be dependent on translators, and people could argue that the translation he's using is not quite right. That wouldn't do. As a matter of fact, has he ever touched any translated canon?

Regarding video games: doesn't Megan play video games? Still though, I don't think he'd be interested in most modern video games, because of the multiple ways they can be played. He likes to set himself up as the ultimate interpreter of canon, so canon has to be fixed in the first place for him to do that.

I know he watched Doctor Who and he did that picture of River Song, but yeah I'm surprised he didn't get more involved.

Could be because a) there's too much canon for him to go through and then be able to say he 'barely skimmed it' or b) because men in DW fandom aren't exactly rare. He couldn't be as much of a special snowflake.

IIRC he's claimed he used to watch DW, but stopped because he objects to Moffat's choices.
