Re: Fandom history

[ex_mek82]

In retrospect, I do think most current day fandom history (from 2008 onward) is still fairly accessible, provided one knows where to look. Like, lots of old LiveJournal communities are still around and even a few DeviantArt galleries here and there. Plus, trying to find information from places like Tumblr is a little difficult, simply because of how things are set up.

Ah! I know, right? I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even think Starsky and Hutch ever had a fandom to the extent it had. Star Trek I had a vague inkling of for the longest time, but seeing it be the progenitor of most things we know today in fandom -be it genres or forms of fanwork- is, to me, mindblowing. (Also, I loved reading some of the recollections of the fans who lived and were active during that time frame)

And then there's the zine culture, oh man. ngl, it was kinda sad to read about the slow decline of the genre in general once the concept of archives for both art and writing really started to take off with the rise of the internet. Not to mention early fandom-related con culture, too; or the early days of fan vids.
