Last night I finally got to go to knit night, after missing two weeks in a row for various reason. I'd missed my knitters. We were discussing Sock Summit and some of the insanity (not all connected to SS09, although some definitely was) that has been going around Ravelry lately. In fact, it's been so bad at times that I made the remark that "They've made fandom look sane!"
Oddly, even though my knitters aren't involved in the fan community, they knew what I meant :-D
That got me thinking on the drive home and I realised that this year (actually in May) marks ten years that I've been on-line and involved with fannish stuff. 10 years of having my Selenay identity. Yes, children, it's not my RL name. 10 years of writing and discussing and laughing and boggling and having a lot of fun despite the tendency for fandom to ocassionally descend into the kind of insanity that isn't always fun.
( Cut for length )
Rather than feeling like I'm a part of the Buffy community or the Stargate community, now I'm a part of the wider fan community and I want to sample a little bit of everything. I wonder what the next ten years hold?
