My first real fandom experience had been with the Scapers (Farscape fans), who really are the big family every fandom wants to think it is.
Same here. Sometimes, now that I've been exposed to other fandoms, I wonder if that was just because we shippers cocooned ourselves amongst each other, and also that ScaperCon, particularly the first three years, attracted a certain type of fan, while the more traditional "non-family" types hung out at Creation or whatever. But yeah, Scapers are the best fandom to be a part of. Bar none.
Who...it's a bit more like armed camps.
I have been witness to the Sam/Jack and Jack/Daniel Wars, not to mention the Save Daniel Jackson campaign, and I have never seen a fandom as bitter and batshit insane as certain segments of Who fandom. That is saying something.
New New^14 York was incredibly pretty. Also, even if the science was nonexistant, it had alien cat!nuns, and a futuristic sci-fi premise, and basically satisfied what I'd like to see as far as getting off Earth/out of the 21st century.
