happy 20th, sort of
So, round about now, more or less, give or take, I'm celebrating my twentieth anniversary as a writer in fandom. I meant to save that fact for a throwaway line when I finally posted my story o' doom, but I'm still working on that (currently editing with all the vim and celerity of a snail wading through glue), so I thought I might as well make a separate post while it's still the right season.
I don't really feel as if I've been a fannish participant all that long, but sometimes I come across one of those posts on tumblr that suggest that everyone over 25 or so should just go away and knit or do their taxes, and that does make me realize I've been here a while. I mean, when I joined fandom, it was all about proving that you were old enough for it. Not that I want age statement requirements back, or anything. (But please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers them.)
It's snowing this morning, so I can pretend it's earlier in the year than what the date says, and tell myself I didn't miss the correct time by very much, after all.
Ugh, snow. If it were yesterday I could have pretended the weather just has a bad sense of humor.
