Fandom from afar
We're nearing the end of the fandom meme — Day Twenty-Five:
Y: What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
At the moment it's definitely The Untamed and Guardian — I'd say a good 70 per cent of my circle is a fan of one or both of these and heavily involved in the fandom!
This is definitely not the first time I've had these kinds of secondhand fandoms (I can remember a lot of people being into e.g. hockey RPF, the MCU, podcast dramas, Sherlock, etc etc over the years — none of which I was involved in in the slightest, with the possible exception of the Thor films in the MCU). It's always nice to see people being happily fannish in their own corners, even if it's fandoms that I'm highly unlikely to be involved in.
Z: Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!

The only way I've been able to listen to audiobooks successfully, is to be moving while listening. So during chores or the commute. I find my mind unfocuses too much when it is purely audio.

I suspect that's the only thing that would work for me with audiobooks/dramas. At the moment my 'commute' is walking from my bedroom to my living room, but when I'm not working from home it involves walking 45 minutes to, and 45 minutes from my library. I've always had long walking commutes, and I've always had to do them without music/audio, because I'm so vague that I get distracted and walk in front of traffic. But listening during chores might be doable.
