What moment in your #fandom history would you consider to be the most significant? This is a personal one. It can be big or small. No right answers!
The focus the next couple of weeks is the Dark One's army. Which type of #Shadowspawn do you find the most fascinating?

Got #crunchyroll and been watching #girlfriendgirlfriend and as corny as this show is, I love it.
I loved the premise of Season 1 but since they introduced Shino in Season 2, Def on the Team Shino! #anime #fandom
He often faltered in small talk, not because social graces eluded him,but because he quickly became invested in other people’s lives, ensuring that little remained purely cursory.

I wrote 1,300 words today and finished my short story for the Secret Santa exchange!
Last night I also got a good deal of plotting done for my sapphic Valentine's fest entry. Once I get the secret Santa gift beta'd and posted, I can finally get started. I think this one will end up being quite longer because there's no word limit and I have over two months before the deadline.
The warm whispering of the Force called to her before she bolted; swarthy hands pushing and shoving anyone she could to try and get ahead. The voice called stronger still- beating with her now pounding heartbeat.

If anyone closest to her were lost, she wasn’t entirely sure what she’d do. A lot would burn.

The challenge of the idea of a 'TTRPG community' beyond the people you actually play with is that there will always be tensions between how you imagine a game and how that game is imagined by other people (that you will never meet let alone play with)
This is a good thing; it is literally where innovation comes from, but nerd/fan spaces have *never* been good at handling those tensions. #TTRPG #fandom
Wise words from one of our favourite characters, as always. Without cheating, can you recall who said it? The accent and metaphor should make this one pretty easy 😆

I’m talking with a friend who does fanfic commissions, and I suggested that here might be a good place to be active, considering how positive the Fediverse is about independent artists selling their work.
But I don’t know how fandom here feels about fic comms, specifically. I know I’ve heard it’s a gray area legally. So, how do you feel about seeing fanfic commission posts? I’m curious!

Another large corner of the web that has thankfully begun rebelling against corporate abuse: wikis.
#Fandom (a large, for-profit wiki platform) has gotten aggressive over the past few years pushing intrusive ads, awful AI garbage content, and recently allowing companies to completely take over and rewrite wikis for fucking marketing stunts (see: McDonalds Grimace shake, covered in this video).
It’s nice to see more efforts to switch to community-supported spaces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcfuA_UAz3I&t=1018s
As I sit typing this (on the month Bandcamp announced its pivot and decline in service) into Mastodon, a federated, non-owned platform that’s risen to popularity partly because a billionaire bought Twitter & killed its audience, I can’t help feeling these bands tell us something good about cultivating our own online platforms. /end

Can a person win at fandom? Likely not in any objective way. But many try. Bitter exchanges online for Pop Culture X vs. Pop Culture Y. "Sanitary" is about how we construct ourselves through media and dialogue. With Fandom, Batman, and Pornography. #writing #FlashMemoir #poetry #florida #comics #fandom #batman
This tweet got me LOL because it's so true. If you say out loud that these traffic/idol actors are less than perfect, it's like drawing a bullseye on your tweet for the superfans to come out of the weeds and eat you alive.
Predictably this poster got lots of hatred as a result, but she's amused about it.
This is one thing I cant stand about fandom. I often have to censor myself as I do not have the mood to deal with these parasocial superfans.
Recently I listened to the #372Pages We’ll Never Get Back podcast episodes from 2018 about The #EyeOfArgon. For the uninitiated, EoA is a short fantasy novella in the vein of Conan the Barbarian that was published in the Ozark Science Fiction Association zine, #OSFAN, in 1970. The novella is hilariously bad, and thus developed cult status in the SFF community. This is all pretty well documented online. What I want to talk about is its less-documented author, #JimTheis🧵 1/
On parle également un peu du #fandom dans ces pays.
Il y a plein de festival #sf locaux en chine mais ils sont très politisés, noyés sous la promotion des autorités et entreprises locales, et il y a peu d’espace pour vraiment échanger autour des œuvres.
En Corée il y en a beaucoup de festivals de littérature classique, mais niveau #sfff c’est moins développé (ponctuel, petit, sans continuité) mais avec le même esprit que les #utopiales. #utopiales2023 #mesutos2023

Somebody should create something like an action plan of getting #fandom people on fedi... I'm not going to be that person bc project management gives me anxiety but there has to be somebody out there who knows how to do this stuff and actually likes doing it, right?

Delighted to announce that my book about superheroes, their fans, and the radical imagination has been published by punctum books, an independent non-profit press, and a rather brilliant one at that!
It's open access with 3 easy ways to grab a copy (link below)!
* buy a copy (a great way to support me and punctum books)
* donate and download a copy
* download a free copy (and, if you enjoy it, buy a copy and support an awesome OA press)
Some time ago, on Reddit, I posted that there are only maybe like 5 good games on the Nintendo Switch. Of course that post got downvoted pretty hard so I deleted my comment because I didn't want to loose too much karma.
This might have been exaggerated from my part, like there are maybe 20 or 30 that are actually good and I'm talking about first-party games here, like Mario Kart or Breath of the Wild and stuff.
But for every game on there that is also available on another platform, guaranteed that the other version is superior somehow.
With a warm and polite tone, he glanced toward her and said, "I apologize for not asking earlier, but I don't believe we've been properly introduced. What's your name?"

It's such a good thing nowadays that the worldwide web has allowed fandom to realise there are opinions outside of what DWAS or DWB or certain individuals thought (and in some cases still think) and it's okay to like Time and the Rani or Delta and the Bannermen - or Jodie Whittaker - and there's nothing wrong with thinking the Hinchcliffe era has some distinctly dodgy stories and that Season 5 is hugely repetitive.

In a discussion elsewhere it came up that the ship name for Apostle Peter / Apostle Paul fic should be 'Rocky Road' and I feel like I cannot be the first person to have thought of this. #fandom
"taco, how can i go about this?"
ask about how #AffirmativeAction is being accomplished by the teams that are running your conventions!
and don't settle for "we're a diverse team of queer people", most of the #furry #fandom is #queer. we need more #bipoc voices explicitly, or we're going to fall prey to the clutches of #whiteness and #christofacist sanitation. ask why there isn't more information talking about race in the fandom and why it's important!
i fear we, as "intersectional "allies"" are falling into this same exact trap of #whiteness with #fursonas in the #furry #fandom. more and more #white people who are affluent purchase fursuits, and we forget that the creation of this key piece of fandom history, the #fursona, is a product of #black #queer history.
we need to make sure this is corrected at an #institutional level. and by the #institutions, i mean the #conventions that we host and the 501c3s that we run to host them.
...which are mostly run by #white people.
if we, as an "#inclusive community", wish to make our conventions less... pale, we really need to start talking about the #black and #queer history of the #furry #fandom loudly. i am really proud of the documentation done on the fandom, but most of the participants i see in video documentaries, interviews, and other media are desparately #white.
#fursonas were literally invented by a black queer man, Ken Cougr. i fear we are forgetting the racial side of the roots of our creativity just like we have with other mediums, see: #rap and #hiphop.
we can do better.
we as #furries should be working to elevate #bipoc voices both within and outside of the fandom regarding peoples lived experiences because they also affect us but they affect others who are a part of these intersectional experiences in a way worse way.
this may sound weird, but i actually think we should be working on #AffirmativeAction for #leadership positions within the #furry #fandom.
hear me out.

@jenniferplusplus i couldnt vote because it was easy for me. It was easy, because friends recommended the instances I use. First one for roleplayers, which I now barely use and then one for writers, which I enjoy very much. I'm not sure I would have found these places had people not said "this place might be for you". I dont think "word of mouth" will work for everyone. I never know what to recommend for fandom people who just want to squee about their tv shows. #fandom where are you?

Hello, my name is Mai and I am a professional #GraphicArtist.
I was invited here by Nara Moore and do illustrations for her novels.
Please be kind to me.
My specialty is #Yuri but het doesn't bother me. I have done drawings for #OthersidePicnic, #ImInLoveWithTheVillainess (#ILTV), #SpyXFamily, #BocchiTheRock, #LycorisRecoil, #lLttleWitchAcademia , and lot of others. I have also done #Idol #FanArt . I do #SFW #NSFW #Ecchi but nothing illegal. Don't ask me.
Below is a sample of my work, displayed with Nara's permission.

Speaking of #fandom i have a LOT of them, and they change frequently... right now im a little obsessed with #goodomens and rewatching #doctorwho from my teenhood(which is wild) might get back into #supernatural since im kinda going through a nostalgia trip rn
recently also got into #transformers especcially #mtmte and am watching #transformersearthspark as it releases
#homestuck is my formative media so that will never leave me
occasionally watch #anime like #trigun #TRIGUNSTAMPEDE ...
No idea why I was at the #Fandom page in #Firefox for Boneitis but it was hilarious when I closed a tab and saw it. 😄 https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Boneitis
Kinda old news by now but, still. Damn the OTW is terrible with money. And decision-making. And conflict resolution. And governance. And–
It’s also weirdly secretive and has the kind of bureaucracy that no-one who’s ever actually worked in a bureaucracy thinks is bureaucracy. And I suppose on the one hand none of this is unusual for volunteer community organizations1 but there’s something about the AO3 that made it feel . . . somehow apart from, say, your local community field hockey team except, oh. Nope. Same hat.
- Funny story: this is my husband’s . . . side gig? Hobby? Thing-he-loves-doing-but-doesn’t-pay-as-much-as-his-day-job? Basically helping stabilize and mature community and volunteer organizations. ↩
Our primary mode of engaging with just about everything in late-stage whatever is #fandom.
Which is kinda terrible because fandoms have this habit of being incredibly toxic.
The Verge published an interesting interview with the CEO of #Fandom, Perkins Miller.
Some of the nonsense includes Miller referring to wikis as "blogs" twice, as well as calling Fanatical "the leading online commerce platform if you want to buy an online video game".

Don't diss anyone's #fandom, no matter how much that show sucks.
I went through my following list to remove inactive accounts and found so many people from the "Star Wars" fandom and Lucasfilm who signed up here last year and then ghosted. Disappointing.
Here’s my #introduction!
- I am here for #fandom, #anime, #manga, #webtoons, #danmei, #fantasy novels, #genshin
- I write fanfic sometimes! It is very much fueled by #fanart , meta analysis, lore, and fic challenges.
- You can find me at AO3 on https://archiveofourown.org/users/NoteInABottle/works
- I am extremely multi-fandom. Some of my fandoms are #TowerOfGod 🌰❄️, #orv 📚🌟,#durarara 🔪🚏, #myheroacadema 🍀💥, #bluelock, #tgcf, #mdzs,#2ha,#svsss 🌸, genshin 🍅, and #arcane 👊

The fact that AO3/OTW seems like it’s the latest content silo to fall victim to . . . whatever the current zeitgeist is that’s rotting out content silos from within really is something, huh.
Like maybe it’s wasn’t (just) the “for profit” part of the walled garden internet era that was the problem . . .
Really feel the SPN fandom missed a trick by not leaning more heavily into the slogan of the 1381 English Peasants’ Revolt, i.e. "that there should be no law within the realm save the law of Winchester."
So does Hallmark sell a "sorry so much of your identity is tied up in a corporate media franchise that became the de facto face and major funding source for a global hate group seeking to terrorize one of the world’s most vulnerable groups" card or . . .?
