See, I'm actually kind of jealous of fans your age. You could get in on the ground floor of really awesome stuff like Trek. And one of my favorite manga is a year older than I am and has had scanlations floating around since the 80s. All the fanfiction I could have written by now... :/

Except that "back then" it was a lot harder to participate in fandom, because it was all print and con-based. I was just lucky that I lived in Chicago back then and fell into the periphery of the Midwest fannish hub anchored by people like Paula Smith, Connie Willis, Paula Block, & Phil Foglio.


Oh and my point in all this that you can always come back to fandom later. :)

On one hand, this immediate access to all things fannish means you'll see the cream of the crap, but the lack of that same access means that the cream of the crop takes a lot longer and a lot more money and time to reach you. Not sure which one is better.

Re: 56

Yeah, that's true. I am definitely grateful to the internet for making participation by everyone so much simpler, though there were small local pockets of fandom here and there with local BBSes when I was in my late teens, before the internet really took off.

I think I just wish for an intersection between the two. Like I'm thinking of the weekly watch-along stuff that ONTD Star Trek did, and how fun it was watching all the people who hadn't seen TOS before flipping out over various things, and the similar weekly watch-along posts in the Tiger & Bunny fandom as new episodes were airing and we were ALL weighing in and wondering what the implications of such-and-such were... and it would have been so much fun to be right there spazzing out about Star Trek episodes upon first airing with everyone else. But it's true enough, "everyone else" would have to have had a way to be in touch.

And I don't intend to come back to fandom later, because I'm unlikely to leave. Most of my fandoms are at least ten years old by this point, and I'm still enjoying them. =)

Re: 56

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I enjoy a fandom a lot more when there is a "fannish community" of personable, like-minded folks whose main reason for participating is to squee and discuss the show/manga/movie/whatever.
