Hey! :)

Hm, I adore so many things in fandom! Probably the best part is the people I cherish that I got to meet, and probably would not have gotten to meet otherwise....
Another amazing, life changing thing here is learning and changing perspectives about my own life. People from fandom are so often personally supportive of what I go through, which kinda blows my mind - I am not used to being treated this way - and also, I have been fortunate enough to learn and get a whole lot of perspective about my life through reading fic and discussing characters. It is so validating, or on other occasions it really gets me to think and reconsider - things as ingrained as social structures or my own relationships in my family.

Feel like telling me yours?


Anything spesific you are looking forward to in the coming months?

Er, the return of SPN for season 11. My life is not at the best place right now, though I am not sure it will get significantly better within months, but I hope it gets better enough for that to be something I would want to look forward to. I am hoping time moves slowly and it becomes later once I am more ready for it.

My favourite thing about fandom life is the sense of community. I have been in fandom since my teens and just like back then, fandom feels like a safe and fun environment for me. Much like you, I love how fandom is so much more than talk about fannish things, and so it has been for me as well. I have learned so much through fandom, I love the great mix of validation, and challenging set ideas that you also mention.

I love squee, discussions, meta and reading fanfic too.

I look forward to season 11 as well. I plan to stay away from spoilers as best I can, as I prefer watching without any idea what is going to happen. What about you? Do you stay away from spoilers or do you like them?

I am sorry you are not in a good place; I wish you well and hope you have some good things happening to you this summer :)

Aww - so lovely! everything awesome fandom YES!

And aw, yay, about sharing waiting for season 11! I also hate spoilers, don't want to know ANYTHING, not casting, not writers, not whether someone liked an episode or it is going to be an interesting one - NOTHING!
I very much try to stay spoiler free, and to put spoilers (if I post them, which is rare, IINM) behind snug folds.


Thank you for your wishes for this summer and my life :)
I hope you have a wonderful summer too!
If you feel like saying - is there anything you are looking forward to then?

I do not have anything specific planned for the summer; I am not traveling or doing anything exciting that I know about. I am looking forward to some lazy and long days with writing, reading, hiking and spending time with family and friends. I also need to send in work applications and star that process all over again, as where I work now is not available to me come autumn, regardless of how much I would want that.

Aw, that sounds lovely! Hope you enjoy it greatly!

The job thing, though - ugh - hope that goes smoothly and - just well
