June Something Day 3

Day 3: What's a favorite, or at least memorable fandom meeting/interaction that you've had?

Honestly, the SGA fandom is so incredibly awesome and wholesome (especially considering all the smut that we read/write...), almost all the interactions with other people I've had have been wonderful. I've never been to a convention, I find crowds difficult to be in, so every interaction has been online.

I love that I've gotten to know people from all over the world (I also love just how many SGA fans live in Scotland like me!). I love that we have such different lives but we all have this thing in common that makes us happy.

I think the most memorable interactions I've ever had were the comments I got on my the first fic I posted. I was hella nervous, kind of felt like I was intruding in someone elses fannish space, but everyone was so welcoming. It made it much easier to share other stories. Whever I have doubts about posting I think back to how I felt at my first comments and try to capture that feeling of belonging.

I'm not someone who belongs to many social groups or socialises easily, so becoming part of a fandom was a little scary but incredibly eye opening.

I've found most fandoms to be like a fluffy version of the Borg. "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!" *G*

Consider me assimilated!
