Snowflake Challenge #2
In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I have already talked abouty origin story many times, so the short version is that was always very fannish even before I found online spaces. Once I did, I was part of a very large fandom (Harry Potter* - that fandom practically had its own fandoms) and a microscopic fandom. I'm no longer really in either, but have fond memories and several friends. (As well as bad memories, of course.)
Something I have learned is that every fandom is different. And, if the fandom is big enough, sometimes the fandom itself depends heavily on where you go. Especially in the days of forums and websites. Like I said, or alluded to, websites indeed could basically be their own fandoms within a fandom.
