If this is true, and I have no reason whatsoever to doubt the source, then soon I will be done with current DC Comics, simply because all the characters I really love, the shape of the universe I've come to love, will be what the PTB will be getting rid of. They've been doing that for awhile (see my icon) but this might just be the final crisis, I mean, straw.

DC has no reason to care about this opinion of mine: I'm just one fangirl, and as can be seen in the responses to

cmer's post, many people think this is a good idea. And, I'll still write and read stories based on DC back comics and AUs and so on, because I love this fandom and not a few of the people I've met here. But I won't be following or writing about current comics anymore, which will leave me rather casting about for a primary fandom. Although I haven't been writing much lately due to RL issues, I intend to resume sometime soon, and I really enjoy sharing fanfiction with a community of fans. My time in LOTR showed me that although I love the world of LOTR and it will always have a place in my heart and my creative endeavors, it isn't my primary fandom.

I can't promise I'll fall in love with any particular suggestion, but I'd really appreciate ideas for fandoms to explore. Some of the features I love include speculative fiction (fantasy, SF, historical fiction, etc), strong worldbuilding, large casts, diverse casts (whatever that means for the fictional universe), and moral complexity. Also, a fannish community that is not excessively pairings-driven would be nice, as I don't really believe in having just one OTP. I tend to write lots of different 'ships, and am trying to get myself to write more non-'shippy fic, and there are few things I hate worse than a shipwar.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
