Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Sometimes I like to imagine what internet fandom would have been like if it had existed several decades ago.

If Star Trek managed to make it big as a fandom when you had to rely on zines, can you imagine what a free-for-all it'd be if LJ was around while it was still broadcasting?

Or the huge wank there'd be every time a new Star Wars film was released? I bet you anything there'd have been obsessive Vader fangirls disappointed to find out that he was a) Luke's father and b) had a melty face. Not to mention all those Luke/Leia shippers squicked out by Return of the Jedi.

My favourite to speculate on is what M*A*S*H fandom would've been like, though. The shipwars, the wank every time a character left the show and was replaced, endless political arguments - it would've been beautiful.

Uh, those things all happened. Just at a slower pace due to relying on the mail and not on the internet. Zines, newsletters, local fanclubs, conventions--fandom history is really interesting.
