Re: When are you part of a fandom?

[personal profile] silverr 2013-06-20 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
It used to be, when I first saw/read something, if I was giggling and grinning and clapping my hands and making happy little noises and babbling about it to any family member I could back into a corner I'd go on-line, make a post about it, poke my existing fannish friends to see if they were into it, and start at least 3 fics (usually something funny, something smutty, and a plotty/serious multichapter thing). In my earliest fandoms I had a few on-line buddies who'd I'd spend literally hours IM-ing with.

However, the last few years, for all the fandoms that I've found interesting ... I didn't ever find a good group to burble with. (Which could be because I've always loathed both Facebook and tumblr equally: maybe that's where all the people are no? I also tend to latch onto small fandoms: Not by choice -- I just like what I like -- but obviously not as many fans mean it's harder to find each other.)

Honestly, F!S is about as fannishly-communal as I get nowadays. I still watch and read, and I still write, but it's very solitary.
