I got a bit overloaded with a work deadline so missed a few, but here goes.

Day 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?  
Mostly if I get angry with the way canon goes, or if a major person involved in canon turns out to be an asshole. Like [personal profile] squidgiepdx I can't enjoy POI any more due to Caviezel being a dick. I dropped out of Sherlock after S3 when canon went badly off the rails, and The Magicians TV series after S2 when I heard they killed Quentin. Bastards. I mostly go off canon though, rather than fanfic, unless it's the actor in a key OTP role who's been a dick - then I can't unsee them in that role and don't care about the character any more. 

Day 12: Who is someone that you share the most fandoms with?  
That'd be [personal profile] astolat if we're talking about reading rather than writing. I've followed her into so many fandoms, starting with SGA, including Fast and Furious, Transformers and Game of Thrones, etc. Only the fanfic though, as I struggle with NN's profic. 

Day 13: Squicks - What are some things that squick you in fandom - not necessarily "icky", though it can be. From anything involving blood, to bad grammar.
I hate reading about teeth clashing during kisses - it's like fingernails on a blackboard for me. Also the USA usage of "shined" instead of "shone" - can't be doing with that. Epithets, or too many of them, is another bugbear, and odd, random tense changes and inconsistent POV. I'm also easily squicked by worms/maggots, and sputum. Blood, I'm fine with! 

Day 14: What fandom broke your heart?
As in distressed me enormously so I was genuinely grieving for a while? None, really - I'm just not invested in that way, and as above, if a fandom fucks up I'm usually more angry than heartbroken. A few SGA fics have made me cry, but that's not the same thing. So no heartbreak from a fandom for me, although certainly all the feels.

It's weird, but I've only talked about the Sherlock (S4) finale with my friend Kim, and honestly don't remember much discussion about it online. I was struck with how very un-Sherlock it was, because it was very "jump the shark". So if you stopped watching in S3, it's safe to say you didn't miss much with S4. I know the principles are busy with other projects, but after S4, I think it was more of a guarantee there wouldn't be a S5 or even a special here or there.

Oh god yes. They just glossed over Reichenbach by John going “I don’t care how you did it.” Yeah, but WE did!

I find it hard to watch someone on screen that I know was an asshole. Case in point: when I found out that Kate Mulgrew was horrid to Jeri Ryan on set I couldn't watch STV without thinking about it. Also when I found out that David Hewlett and Jason Momoa had a falling out on the set of Debug it threw me for a while, but JM just got DH a part on See so it looks like they've made up. :)

Not standard US usage! (I mean, as a US-vs-UK thing.) Not acceptable to my US ear! :)

Which is to say, there are some US-ian dialects where "shined" is common usage, but it is not as widespread as say, "pants" for "trousers."

I feel you on the clashing teeth. That's maybe a thing for your first kiss when you're ten, but I don't recall teeth ever smashing together in my experience. I feel like I should apologize for 'shined', though. LOL!
