Fandom is focus.
Fandom is obsession.
Fandom is insatiable consumption.
Fandom is people in the closet, people out and proud,
people in costumes, people in T-shirts with slogans
only fifty others would understand.
Fandom is you in Germany and me in the US and him in
Australia and her in Japan.
Fandom is not real life.
Fandom is closer than real life.
Fandom knows what you're really like in the bedroom.
Fandom is how you would never, could never be in the bedroom.
Fandom is shipping, never shipping, het, slash, gen,
none of the above, more than the above.
Fandom is love for characters you didn't create.
Fandom is recreating the characters you didn't create.
Fandom is writing for the first time since you were twelve.
Fandom is finally calling yourself a writer.
Fandom is endangering your job, your grades, your
relationships, your bank account.
Fandom is where you found a friend, a sister, a kindred spirit.
Fandom is where you found a talent, a love, a reason.
Fandom is where you found yourself.
