I've been involved in a few "fandoms" over the years and one of the things I've always noticed is that fans never seem to be happy with what is in front of them - its never enough. Blame is rarely set on the main players in the...

flutterbymusic @FourWalls Yep, certainly it does hark back. Its all essentially stalking - its just frightening how easy it is to do now. The latest problem seems to be hacking. It used to just be leaked songs and that sort of thing, but now "fans" are hacking into social...

flutterbymusic Haha, I had been waiting for the rest of your response! Thank you for really thinking about this discussion. I really love the Dave Grohl quote. I do think though, that although there is an element of "everyone loves this band for different reasons" across...

Last April I met a girl online who was a year older than me and loved the same bands, but she lived further down the country. We both lived quite far away from Cardiff in Wales, but there was a huge gig happening there last June...

flutterbymusic @jaboUK That's wonderful. The only person I know out in Spain is someone who I met via my family history who lives over there now. I'd ready love to meet some of my distant cousins one day - there's a gentleman in Canada who is my 3rd cousin too.

flutterbymusic That's great! Do you mind me asking how you met them both? Are they both Spanish or ex-pats?

flutterbymusic @besweet I have seen that show! It is really frightening. I made sure to speak to the girls over the phone before I met them both, actually. I've seen a lot of my online fans over video calls too, so I know exactly who I'm talking to before I share anything...

flutterbymusic I guess it depends if you already have enough people close to you in real life. I find that my interests are so different to those around me that diving into online communities such as this lead me to meeting those who are closer minded to me. It has really...

flutterbymusic That's a shame really. I've been online since I was around 8 years old, and through all sorts of forums etc. through the different "fandoms" I have encountered, I have made all sorts of online friends of all ages. Its only been since I reached my twenties that...

flutterbymusic Yeah, its definitely a risk. Especially when you're sharing a hotel room with someone! It was definitely worth the risk though. I did speak to them both almost every day for 2/3 months before we met. We just had so much in common with each other in terms of...

This discussion has been going around my group or people for a while ever since our favorite celeb made the announcement that he is growing up and no longer wishes to perform the songs he did when he was 7-15 years old. He is now...

flutterbymusic @JustAGirlCalledBrit See that's what I mean - if their voices have altered so much it really shouldn't be worth revisiting, but I guess it depends how big the artist is nowadays. One Direction shouldn't need to keep singing their old songs when they're still...

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green has been rated as the best book of 2012. Have you read it? Do you agree? It sits on my favourites shelf - but I haven't read too many books this year. I'm a big fan of young adult fiction...

flutterbymusic I own all of John Green's books but I still haven't managed to read Looking for Alaska yet! I'm currently reading a book called 'The Gathering Dark', although I think its also known as 'Shadow and Bone'.

flutterbymusic Let me know how it goes - to be honest I've not been giving enough time to read myself recently, I'm going to try and fix that too!

The Big Bang theory,in my opinion, is by far the best comedy on TV. Do you agree? If not what is your favourite, and why?

flutterbymusic I think its certainly the case that Matt Smith is no where near as loved as David Tennant was in the role. He brought the show to new heights and I think Doctor Who has fallen back recently, with the showrunners other show, Sherlock, overshadowing it. Sherlock...

Wow! I felt like dancing when I was watching these movies. My husband, our son and I enjoyed watching altogether. I like their genres, drama, music and romance. Have you watched these movies? Did you like watching them? Feel free...

flutterbymusic Thanks for the reply. Do you have any recommendations for films like them too? I love dance films - I guess I love watching dancing overall. I love the TV show over here called Strictly Come Dancing - I think its called Dancing With the Stars elsewhere!

When you're little you can enjoy any music for the fun of it and there is no social stigma attached. For me it was groups like the Spice Girls, singers like Britney Spears - basically good pop music. I was having a discussion with...

flutterbymusic I think you could be surprised. Certainly look up a live video of two. I think it was Brian May from Queen who once said they were one of the best bands he'd ever seen live. That's quite a compliment for a band of their style!
