I am not old enough to have seen the era of fandom through zines and mailing lists, but reading this has made me nostalgic for the days of small and terrible fansites on Geocities, the era where I first got my taste of fandom and then never ever looked back. Not to say there weren’t weird crazy people back then, but they were easier to avoid. I can say without a doubt that if I had not found fandom I would not be here today, and I will always be grateful to have discovered that hey, online there are people who write made-up stories, just like me!
