Re: Tips for "surviving" fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

I've never created fic or art, so I haven't had to deal with people flying off the handle about how I did something problematic. When I used to contribute to fandom more, it was in the form of meta and starting/contributing to discussions, and occasional squee. With the meta/discussions, if people disagreed with me, it was just in the form of debate and didn't get hateful - I don't know if that was the manner of the times or I was just lucky to be in fandoms without nasty people. Things only got frustrating when people wanted an excuse to feel superior in their knowledge of trivial details or the culture/historical period in which something was set. It depended on the fandom and fannish space, though. For all that long-time Tolkien fans from before the Jackson movies had a reputation for memorizing every little detail and holding them as sacred, people generally didn't give anyone shit about their level of Tolkien knowledge in my corner of LotR fandom ca. 2002-2005, despite it being a very active corner.

I don't really have advice for surviving fandom today, since I haven't joined tumblr. What I can say is: if people are being shitty to you, don't assume it's your fault, and you should try to find another fannish space/circle of fannish friends.
