I haven't seen many Lyst references to the other ST shows. There must also be various Whovians (someone I was trying to turn into a New Soul watched Space Fall for about ten minutes and said "It's like Dr. Who--only better!"). What other cross-fandoms exist, and are we looking for the same thing in our other fandoms as in B7, or for something different or even an antidote (e.g., optimism)?
I'm currently writing Highlander the Series fic because I became addicted to Methos - not uncommon <g>. Another enigma who can be read in a variety of ways, not unlike the Snarly One, so the attraction's obvious there.
Otherwise I watch a lot of other SF shows (any old rubbish that's going according to Steve K <g>), but the only other fandoms I'm actively involved in are Due South and West Wing - DS is borderline genre since ghosts are canonical, but not really. I don't exactly know myself what the attraction is there - I choose a fun, witty, optimistic little show and then write angst into it. Maybe I just like being subversive :-)
