Re: Is this geek hierachy still true?

[(Anonymous)]

I have definitely encountered SF&F fans who have published a novel and seem to expect everyone to be in awe of them now and want an autographed copy and soon they will be invited yo a con as a guest of honor... but in reality no one knows who they are because they aren't in that 0.01% of first-time authors who hit it really big right away. The pro/amateur divide definitely still exists in some people's minds.

I think that line is a lot more blurry now, though. Consider that things like Doctor Who and Star Wars are being made by people who grew up as fans of those franchises. Consider how many fans become professionals producing the fannish media and remain fans. Not all fans are pros, but pros often are fans.

I can't comment on all the sub-hierarchies, except I don't think I've heard anyone say "Japanimation" in at least 20 years.

You mean as soon as I self-publish this erotic gay sci-fi I've been working on for the past year I won't be suddenly a celebrity and invited to cons as a guest of honor and people won't want my autograph?
