I always forget that we aren't the fandom but just a part of it - but I'm kinda glad, because as you said, our little corner of fandom is awesome! There are exceptions and there's tons of wank, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else because this fandom truly is the best. Not just because we have awesomely talented people and people are so open-minded, but because we really are our own little community - people support each other and help each other, and there's so much love here. As you said, it goes beyond just enjoying the show and I'm sp happy to be a part of it ♥
