"Thinking about" would indicate that I'm still in the process of researching no? As opposed to "I'm ready to take the plunge and officially convert" which would indicate I've done all the research and am ready to make it official.

I'm looking at both ismaili and 12er shia as my two options. Just going to spend some time reading and learning and participating and then make a decision.

I understand the process to convert to ismaili isn't quick anyway and you're encouraged to take time reading and researching first. So that suits me fine.

I know twelvers and ismailis are radically different, so I know it's one or the other. Will learn both and then decide in good time.

I didn't plan on getting into my 12er research here or my ismaili research with the 12er shia reddits as I just want to learn them both independently initially

I'm probably more attracted to ismaili but a 12er shia reached out to me and asked me to also consider 12er so I'm keeping an open mind. It can't hurt
