Fanfic has always been kind of a kooky and extreme activity, even within fandom circles. In contrast, no one blinks an eye when my co-workers gush about Beyonce's latest social-media post. No one blinks an eye when they dress up their kids as Disney/Marvel/Pixar characters for sing-alongs. No one blinks an eye when they know the lyrics to every movie song produced by Disney for the last 25 years either, or get into debates about which one is best.

Yep and I have views about why certain fandom activities are acceptable and others are not. Hint: it involves the intersection of gender, age, and "appropriate" use of time or energy. You can be into something but not too into it, especially if you're a grown woman. (Let's face it, fandom is something anyone can do. Fanfic is still perceived as the domain of single women fighting off the loneliness with weirdo erotica.)

Let's put it this way: my dad can spend every weekend screaming at the sportsball games on TV, but God forbid I tell him that I went to the movies or binged something on Netflix. Then I'm wasting my life and am going to die childless and alone and should be doing normal things like other women my age. (Presumably childcare, shopping and/or cooking and cleaning??)
