I don't know if I was just unaware of the crazy or if it didn't exist, but when I first got involved in fandom way back when it was a pretty chill place. It was also a lot smaller.

Fandom crazy has always existed but I think it used to be a little easier to shelter yourself from it.

But regardless of the year I always find smaller fandoms = nicer fandoms. Small fandoms are really hard to keep active because when members leave it's hard to get anyone to replace them, but it's so much easier keeping the peace in small fandoms where people know each other.

This. Fandom has become a land of masses, via LJ/Twitter/Dreamwidth.

Whereas in the mid-90s, even into the early 2000s, it was split up into much smaller communities. It was usually easy to find a message board or yahoo group that was small, tailored to what you wanted, and generally of the same maturity level. If you wanted drama and flailing, you could find that. If you wanted calm, rational, deep discussions, there were places for that. If you wanted to debate the finer points about whether Heero Yui was toast or not, you could do that. It was basically cliques, yes, but it made the general map of fandom seem less crazy since you were with people who had similar purposes to your own, instead of everyone in the same place.

Obviously not a Doctor Who fan.

It was just a lot easier to stay in one little corner back then. Small bits of fandom taken isolation tend to be either laid-back and awesome, or concentrated crazy. It's just that now the concentrated crazy is more likely to be visible even to people in the quiet corners.
