Fictional Fans

Lovely question! And yes I’m new. What better way to do some sort of intro, then to answer this question.

I’ve been thinking about this very question lately, and was hard for me to answer because “what counts as fandom?” I’ve enjoyed many shows, movies, and books over the years. I’d still consider myself a “fan” of them. But only three have stuck with me in various ways. One is a little know audio drama for kids, that I still listen to today. Then Doctor Who came along, and after watching both the Fifth and Ten Doctors, and a bit of the others, I read pretty much any thing I could get my hands on that was published for those doctors. Notice I said published. I didn’t really get into fandom, though I knew it existed, till my newest fandom came a long: Stargate SG-1. Yup a new fan of the show here. It was two years ago I was introduced to it and I haven’t looked back. Got me reading fan fiction, as well as writing it. Got me going into a story deeper than I ever had before. It’s been a fun journey, and I’ve learned a lot about myself in the process.

I also love hearing others talk about other fandoms, and why they love them. That’s why I’m here.
