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's mostly what I've heard, though I've also heard some VIOLENT reactions to it--some people hated it. I definitely haven't heard anything that makes me think it would be worth my time when there's so many other awesome books in the world to read.

I know! It's fantastic! And all the more fantastic for its unexpectedness!
