Y'all should go read this right now and join me in sobbing with love. I LOVE FANDOM AND I LOVE FANFICTION AND I LOVE YOU.

I just have a lot of feelings, okay?

They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

Oh, hello people who understand us! You can stay!

What an amazing article. I want to print out copies and press it into the hands of everyone who has ever had that look on their face when I mention I write fanfic.

I would not be upset if it became required reading for everybody everywhere, I must say.
