Dear Fandom:
I love you. All of you, from the people who decided that, you know what, BtVS crossovers should totally have a dedicated archive (MY PEOPLE), to the old-school fans who wrote letters arguing "the Premise", and yes, even the crazy, crazy Twihards. I may not ever want to speak to some of you, but, deep down in my soul, I love you.
Because fandom is a culture where no one has to be ashamed of their ENTHUSIASM, whatever it might be for. I can clap my hands for updates, or eat ramen so I can buy an $80 con pass, or spend 27 hours straight staring at my monitor because the story is just. that. good. and you won't call me crazy, or tell me it's just a show, or lecture me on how sci-fi novels aren't "real books".
Fandom, you've changed the way I think and speak and watch TV; fandom, because of you, I have deep thoughts about The Nanny. You are crazy and brilliant and bitter and gleeful and vicious and kind and sexy and generous and amazing and did I mention crazy? Because there is lots of crazy (good and bad). But I never want to leave you.
Love always,
Strina
