"All they hear is the barking."


EDIT: Seems I can't keep from concrit when it comes to anything! I wrote one of the comic creators, Tycho, an email about the typing error in the strip. I don't expect an email back because they probably get lots of emails, but still, I secretly would, like, squeal or something otherwise fannish if they did.

timepiececlock: (Methos episodes!)
Um...yeah. All that and cookie.

Seriously. Almost all of that I can identify with, to a greater or lesser degree. Particularly appropriate for my own case:

  • Fandom is focus. Fandom is obsession. Fandom is insatiable consumption. Fandom is sitting for hours in front of a TV screen a movie screen a computer screen with a comic book a novel on your lap. Fandom is eyestrain and carpal tunnel syndrome and not enough exercise and staying up way, way past your bedtime.

  • Fandom is creating. Fandom is drawing, painting, vidding: nine seasons in four minutes of love. Fandom is words, language, authoring. Fandom is essays, stories, betas, parodies, filks, zines, usenet posts, blog posts, message board posts, emails, chats, petitions, wank, concrit, feedback, recs. Fandom is writing for the first time since you were twelve. Fandom is finally calling yourself a writer.
