debris4spikeWrite a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.
Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it.
Thank you Fandom
Without you I would not have the hobbies I have, I would not have the friends that I have and I would never have dared to push my own personal boundaries.
At school I was told that I should never bother writing down anything, as I was no good at written English. Then I saw BtVS .... and as I watched the finale I wanted to give it a different ending. So, I wrote my first fan-fiction. I have since written other stories, and added a finale to Stargate Atlantis!
In looking for an outlet, I found fan-fiction, and LiveJournal ... and found I needed an icon to decorate the pages. I started by cropping images ... and gradually learned about Photoshop. Now I am colourblind ... and again was always told that colour etc in art would be impossible. But, again, I have Fandom to thank for the multiple icons I have produced, and continue to produce.
I have met some of the people off LJ ... good friends.
Thank you Fandom
However my LJ is not just dedicated to fandom - but through the links I have seen and shared phots, I have learned a lot about history etc, and when I have had some bad days I have had somewhere to let off steam.
All thanks to Fandom.
Thank you
