Well... Never like this. But I've been a big fan of Babylon 5, Lost as of late and of course Star wars (go ahead sue me....I was 7 when it came out...I was powerless) ....But I've never been a memeber of a Forum like this.
Unless your counting Video games.... Gran Turismo and Guild Wars equaly suck the hours out of my day.

Oh god, I am like a fandom junkie!
Music: Depeche Mode
TV: Buffy, Angel, Roswell (I even sent in hot sauce), Dark Angel, I didn't discover Farscape until it was cancelled, but it's bloody brilliant I say. Also Carnivale, Dead Like Me and Deadwood.
Movies: Anything Kevin Smith touches (he is to movies as Joss is to TV)
Books: Anything by Laurie Notaro cos I am so her.
Lemme think on this some more...

KEVIN SMITH FILMS: Sure, it's childish and dumb, but I really love Kevin Smith's films (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl). Clerks is the reason I'm a film student right now. And with Clerks 2 due out next August, I love being a fan of the Askewniverse right now.
....
SOUTH PARK: Again, it's childish and stupid, but I've been a fan since the beginning. And the current run of episodes are as funny as they've ever been. I'll buy up anything Trey Parker and Matt Stone put out.
I totally forgot Kevin Smith. Big fan of his movies, especially Chasing Amy.
I also really dig Robert Rodriguez. Most of his movies are "B" grade, but as an aspiring filmmaker, the way he built his career is inspiring.
And I'm in partial agreement with you on South Park. It's a great show, and one of my all-time favs. I just disagree that it's stupid. Childish and juvanile (I guess that's redundant), sure. But the satire on that show is often much deeper than most people give it credit for.
And since we're expanding the lists beyond filmed media, I'll trow in a couple few others.
Writers: I'll read anything from Neil Gaiman, or comics by Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Warren Ellis or Garth Ennis.
Music: I'm a total nut for Pearl Jam and Radiohead.
Video games: I have lost countless hours to the Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear series. Or most any game with Star Wars in the title(good and bad).

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't calling it stupid, myself. I was just pre-empting haters who might try to tell me that it is.
Actually, I think the show's genius, if completely juvenile.

My obsession being that Buffy/Angel/Firefly aren't on anymore are comic books. For all of you who think comics are for kids, you're WRONG. Comics are for teenagers and adults. Pick up "Y: The Last Man" and "The Walking Dead" if you don't believe me. I've also had an ongoing minor obsession with Star Wars since grade 4 (about 12 years ago).

WOOT BEG!!! Go Depeche Mode!!!
My secret shame, on and off through the years, has been Magic: The Addiction - erm, Gathering. Curse that card game - so wonderful, so overpriced. It makes me feel like an alcholic - I've been out a little over a year now, but I had been out for a year and a half before that. It always comes back, curse it!
I've also spent my time idolizing Star Wars, but there's no need to rehash what others have said.

Well, I, too am a huge Star Wars fan, having growing up watching the originals when I was little. I've done the whole deal: dressing up for halloween, premieres, etc, figures, drawings...well, I'm definitely a SW geek!
Books: Harry Potter. Big time.
Music: Vanessa Carlton, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer
Movies: SW, The Mummy+The Mummy Returns: seriously campy movies, but I'm a bit of an Egypt and mythology junkie, too, so these movies are just plain amazing. And I adore the actors in them.
Video Games: Age of Mythology: such a shiny game. I love toppling civilizations with the click of the mouse.
Now, however, Firefly has taken me. Hard. lol. This series has definitely been my current obsession, and probably the strongest in the least amount of time.

Good to see another Highlander fan!!!!!
I am Ertia, Methos' lost love slave, and always will be. :D
I've been a Lord of the Rings geek since I first read the books when I was 13, and the movies brought on a whole new fervor for all things Tolkien.
(My home office is entirely decorated in all things LOTR and Highlander.)
Loved Farscape & LEXX, really like Law & Order, but I'm not as ...well... I don't spend my spare time writing fanfiction for them, or rewatching old episodes until my eyes water...so I don't think they really count as Fan-fodder for me.
Thank the powers that be for the Internet which brings fanatics together! :D

I agree. Strongly! Especially to Fleetwood Mac
and Harry Potter. Other than that, probably Bab 5 and Stargate SG-1/Atlantis. I kmnow a lot of people on this site actually HATE the Stargate franchise, but, hey...someone's gotta break the mold.
I love fanfic so, pretty much anything I like tends to end up as a fic in my 'verse.

"No, Cap'n, I think it's shiny!"--Kaylee, o'course.
