Snowflake Challenge Day 15
Day 15
In your own space, write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, or to your flist/circle/followers. Share your love and squee as loud as you want to.
Fandom, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. It creates community between different people who can be willing to go that extra mile.
For example, when Babylon 5 was on in the mid-90's, we were a year behind the US here in NZ *, which was frustrating. So someone from my sci-fi club knew someone in the US who would record half a season at a time on video tapes (remember those?) and mail them to NZ so we could get together in weekends and binge-watch them +. There was literally no other way then for me to see them ahead of schedule. But thanks to fandom, I was able to.
* Babylon 5 was screened on Saturday afternoons, despite repeated requests by the public to put it on in the evenings. Grr, Hulk Smash stuffs.
+I still have fond memories of binge-watching the first six episodes of Season 4, it was epic.
