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!

That would have been excellent, wouldn't it? I looooove fandom meta, so I would have been all about that. But I'm going to forgive him because this was very 101 kind of stuff, and because it was pretty clear that he's an outsider, and I don't expect them to know all about that stuff, you know? Though it would have been EXCELLENT if he had.
