Snowflake Challenge #3

Challenge #3

Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.

I was an outsider at school, never really belonged. But when I found fandom, I could be part of a community. It gave me a reason to start writing (hello, fan fiction) and a reason to do art (hello, fan art). I made friends through fandom, some of whom I've known for years now.

When one of my old schools advertised a school reunion recently, I flinched in horror and stayed away.

I would rather go to a sci-fi convention, even if I didn't know anyone there. But I would definitely have more fun.
