I am one of a group millions strong. And you know what? Despite all that, I am neither small nor utterly insignificant. It's pretty awesome. Turns out if you love something enough, you'll find your way to other people who love it too. Then they share things they love with you and you share the new things you love with other people, and in the end you are not only touched by someone miles away, but you touch others--and you can be proud of that.
Fandom's been a pretty big part of my life for 5 or 6 years now, and I feel like I've gone from a total fanbrat into someone who actually knows what makes her happy and just likes to spread the love around. It's kind of cool like that.
I don't really have too much to say on the topic, other than a) it consumes a lot of my free time and b) it's worthy every bit of it. How else do you get to constantly be discovering new things that are recommended by people who you know like the same things you do? There are always new tidbits out there on the Internet.
Also, I'm currently serving as a link between the Internet fandom and the RL fandom base, which is a newish experience but totally fabulous all the same. Auntie Beeb, why are you too cool to be contained?
