Re: Based on Secret #4, FANDOM CULTURE

When I started in fandom in the late nineties it was email lists, online archives and ff.net. Could be quite cliquey but drama was usually limited to a list or between two lists.

LJ made things more cliquey but across whole fandoms. BNFS ruled. If you fell afoul of a fandom you'd get dog piled.

The death of LJ and move to Tumblr coincided with much more general awareness of fandom and fic by outsiders, particularly actors and writers. Social media meant you didn't have to wait to be the weirdo at the con asking questions about fic during your fandom's panel. You could just DM them instead on twitter/instagram.

I'm not sure if it's the outsider awareness or the huge interconnectedness of fandom these days which has made it a more pressure cooker environment. Nowadays fandom reminds me more of The Crucible.

I remember the email lists! I was on a couple of them. Good times.
