Conversations With Those Not In Fandom
Oder brother Chris (in reference to my "I'm no one's cabbage before ten in the moring" Spock icon): wtf is fandom?
Me: ::facepalm:: nvm
Chris: I just wikied it
Me: Oh god....
lol
Chris: you are part of the dr who fandom
Me: Yep
Chris: you are part of a lot of weird fandoms
lol
im part of the codmw2 fandom
the snowboarding fandom
Me: Er...
Chris: lol
I know, it's not the same
Me: You do stuff online, like forums, fanfic ( RPfic, lol), discussion...?
Chris: I've been trying to expand my vocabulary
I know, not just participate in the activity
Me: Or get together in RL specifically for marathons of said fandom's media output?
Chris: so I've been looking up every word I come across online that I don't know the meaning of
crazy people...
Me: Well, then you "watch" the fandom, or are "interested" in in, not actually "a part" or "taking part" in said fandom
AHAHAHA
YES
DUH
Internet
Chris: ... It does awesome things
Me: Yes, it sure does...
AHAHAHA-ha-heh-heh... oh god. My brother is such a Hetero Jock, it's not even funny. He's they guy that goes around making statements like "that's so gay," or calling people "fags" when he thinks they are being idiots. He would be eaten alive by my "weird fandoms." I don't even think he knows what he's really saying. ::sigh::
