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!

Not condescending, clear and concise.

Exactly! It's one-of-a-kind, really, coming from a source outside of fandom and published in somewhere so mainstream.
