Eh, it's a tradeoff. Older fandoms often have much more high quality content. BUT, they also have a "history," and a lot of BNFs, and often a much less welcoming (sometimes even downright unkind) attitude towards newer fans.

The Professionals (70s British show - one of the big early slash fandoms) was known as a fandom that "ate its young." http://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Professionals

I think there must be benefits to starting out in a relatively new fandom, where anything can go. It just depends what you want to get out of a fandom and contribute to it.

I was feeling apprehensive opening the link, cos it sounded like some Hannibal staff. Anyway, how anyone would know the writer's age?
And Pros's such a small fandom, it's a pity it's not more wellcoming. Persuaders is a much smaller fandom and it's more accepting and fun, though it's also quite old.

I think it can be easy to tell someone's age in fandom, but actually "young" referred to newbies to teh fandom. :) They tend to have less experience, less confidence, and don't know the ways of the fandom as well. If not made welcome, but instead made unwelcome, it can be an unpleasant situation for keeping the fandom healthy with new blood. Of course, everyone's experience differs, but in that fandom it's something that's been remarked upon by many, not just one or two.
