You know what time it is? Time for another question of the day from Maniac Mayhem (aka this guy).
So for today's question will stick with the theme of simple.
What other fandoms do you belong to outside of My Little Pony?
For me it's only one, Pokemon. Been an avid player and huge lover since it first came out, I believe I was in kindergarten. I remember my parents bought me the special Gamboy Color that came with a copy of Pokemon Yellow and then they also go me a separate copy of Pokemon Red. It just spiraled out of control since then, though I did take a brief siesta in high school but the love resurfaced in college tenfold. My knowledge of the series is extremely detailed, in fact my roommates claim that I know too much about Pokemon. Like that's even possible. I collected the trading cards as a kid, though unfortunately my parents gave them away without telling me (and I had some pretty rare cards too). I've also owned a lot of the games . In fact here is the list for those curious: Yellow, Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, White, Heart Gold, X, Y, and Stadium 2. I don't have a plethora of merch, in fact apart from the games the only other thing I own is a Froakie plush. I do plan to get more when I actually have some money. This stuff has been my life for almost two decades and I don't ever plan on stopping.
Alright that ended up being longer then I thought. I'm just so enthusiastic about Pokemon. So how about you guys?

I love Doctor Who. I can't really pick a favorite Doctor as they're all good, but as they say, you never forget your first Doctor. So I still freak out whenever I see Christopher Eccleston in a movie.
Other than that, I dabble in Half-Life, Pirates of the Caribbean, and plenty more.

The Walking Dead for sure. Started watching the series shortly before season 2 and I've been a diehard fan ever since. Also Doctor Who, Halo (that's a big one since I have at least half of the books and all the games), Dead Space (another biggie), Transformers is probably my biggest since I've been a fan of it since I was around 5. Have a huge container full of the things plus a few shirts, posters and all the movies up to DOTM (waiting for AoE to go to DVD...). I'm also a huge Star Wars fan, in fact I have a little shrine to General Grievous on my dresser. Also BioShock and The Hunger Games (I freaking squealed when I saw the first Mockingjay teaser). I'm probably in a lot more but that would take too long to type...

I find that funny since I'm kind of a smoker
I'm a fan of a lot of stuff. But I feel like there's a difference between being a fan and being active in a fandom. I haven't been very active...

I totally understand. There are definitely some favorite things I wish I was more active in
None at this time but my first "fandom" was for Astro Boy when I was younger, the website I used to go to "Astro Boy Online Forums" still exists!
Oh, this one's gonna be nice and simple. Actively, I am involved in the Dr. Who fandom, as well as Star Trek (people keep thinking that I'm only a new gen Trekkie, but just because I wasn't born early enough to have been around when the first generation came out doesn't mean I haven't watched all of the episodes! The thing that they tend to focus on is that I'm not fluent in Klingon...), and Star Wars. Could also count Pokemon but I haven't been very active recently...
Actually a fan of? More stuff than I can count. Actively participating in the fandoms? Not a whole lot at the moment, except a couple of tokusatsu and anime/manga fandoms. (The one, aside from MLP, that I'm REALLY focusing on at this time is Kamen Rider.)
Until next time...
