wrt fanworks for small fandoms, yeah, if there is already so little, I can see how it would be intimidating to write anything. Hopefully there'll be Yuletide stuff. It's weird -- all the fan-generated or updated stuff for Longmire seems to be low volume or MIA. I can't find a fan wikia, and even the Wikipedia articles don't have synopses of the episodes like most shows, where there is a list of seasons, a list of episodes, and then a detailed or at least brief synopsis of each ep.
It's like anything that fen would normally do is just MIA with Longmire, which I'm guessing is either because (1) it simply doesn't have the fans quantity wise, or (2) the fans it has aren't in the age groups that are tech savvy enough or motivated enough or both to do any of that stuff. I think there are probably enough fans, numbers-wise, to do it--there are apparently tons on Facebook... just not on anywhere else. But then, there are lots of people in their 50s-70s on FB who don't do anything else on the Internet, certainly not editing Wikipedia pages or writing fanfic. But they'll be on FB with friends and family exchanging photos from barbecues and whatnot.
So... oh well.
Well, Pizzolatto has a deal w/HBO through 2018 according to this article from Variety, though it says a 3rd season for TD is "up in the air." If not TD, then I guess we'll get something else from him.
Originally I remember reading that he had a 3 season deal for TD, but maybe it wasn't 3 seasons so much as it was a time frame and that was renegotiated last fall...? Unsure...
If no S3 of TD, I agree, that's kind of a bummer... it would be nice to have 3 seasons. It also enhances the possibility that it would be syndicated, though that's unlikely I suppose for any 8-episode seasons of anything...
I've been meaning to rewatch S2 of TD. Lately I have such weird inertia related to TV consumption though. I blasted through 4 seasons of Longmire pretty quickly and then immediately started rewatching it. On the rec of my ex, I also started watching Mr. Robot S1 (what a weird, fucked up little show so far, though I like it, but then it has a techno-Fight-Club feel, so I guess that's a gimme).
But I have shows I've been meaning to watch (the most recent 3 eps of Archer, which I *love* and should watch 'cause it usually makes me laugh my ass off, and I really *need* that lately) or meaning to finish or catch up to (like OITNB or Orphan Black or Luther) and stuff in my queues... yet I've been ignoring those.
And yet then I'll rewatch shows I've already seen (some that I've seen countless times... o_o) like it's comfort food for my eyes/brain or something, like media macaroni and cheese. I didn't expect Longmire to become that, but it was kind of instant video comfort food in a weird way.
I've been really depressed lately, and in a lot of fibro pain, with trouble sleeping/frequent waking/constant exhaustion (thanks, perimenopause! *shakes fist at universe*). So I guess all I was up for was the mac and cheese TV, not complex TV like S2 TD or even S1 -- or S3 Hannibal, which I *also* really want to rewatch, but still haven't...
:\
(I'm not even going to say anything about my wrists/repetitive strain injuries... every time I blog something like, "hey, they're better, yay" -- they take a turn for the worse, sometimes viciously so... so I'm done tempting fate that way)
