Re: How and when did you come to fandom?

[personal profile] ginainthekingsroad 2016-01-28 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
I grew up in fandom as my parents are pro sf writers and totally know that convention culture that you're talking about, although I'm a little younger than you. One parent was even a past GoH at BayCon (pm me if you want to know who/what year) and many other cons. WorldCon was always my summer vacation, and LosCon my Thanksgiving break. Now I still go to LosCon, but while there's a lot of the same people there it's just not the same. Plus people who were our family friends keep dying... And several of our friends who are dealers can't break even enough from cons to justify the transport anymore.

I remember running around ugly carpets as a tiny thing, discovering anime there at 11, and mostly the hurry-up-and-wait when my family was waylaid in a hall by another writer friend, or a fan of their stuff.
