does anyone else think about how fandoms are like cities?<\/p>\n

you got your big, bustling ones that are really diverse and busy, maybe a little hard to navigate and full of crime, good areas and bad areas. the locals know the hot spots and how to get around<\/p>\n

then the mid-range towns with big city attitudes even though they\u2019re not big cities, a few local hubs of activity, the crazy dude ranting about stuff on the street corner who makes people uncomfortable<\/p>\n

and then the small spot towns where everybody knows everybody, you can\u2019t go out without seeing somebody you know, and there\u2019s only one grocery store<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

#fandom life<\/a>\u00a0#sherlock fandom is a big city<\/a>\u00a0#with gangs<\/a>\u00a0#who will jump you for wearing the wrong colors<\/a>\u00a0#and tell you to stay in your lane<\/a>\u00a0#i try to stick to the bohemian neighborhoods<\/a>\u00a0#where people are friendly and don\u2019t preach at you<\/a>\u00a0#there are fanatic preachers in sherlock fandom too<\/a>\u00a0#promising hellfire and damnation to the unbelievers<\/a>\u00a0#and im a heretic<\/a>\u00a0(via @anarfea<\/a>)<\/p>\n

@fizzygins<\/a> and I are the witchy spinsters holed up in the abandoned distillery down by the river, venturing out only rarely to argue at length with our neighbors, and generally to be found obsessively redecorating our small but meticulously repurposed lair to accommodate ever more reference books, obscure sex toys, and memento mori paintings<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is one of the reasons I love Inception fandom. It\u2019s like a little village where you probably recognise everyone, even if you don\u2019t know them well. @inceptiversarysocial<\/a> is the village hall where we hang out. @a-forger-and-a-point-man<\/a> is the real estate agent trying to get people to buy houses here and running the @inceptionkitties<\/a> cat shelter in her spare time. She\u2019s organised a successful twinning operation with the 00q and London Spy towns.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Perfect, @kanga-ruth<\/a>! It\u2019s a great village to move to from a bigger, dangerous city (as many of us have done). Long-term residents are very welcoming. There\u2019s a fantastic @bookshop<\/a> where you can get really good reading suggestions. @earlgreytea68<\/a> is like a town ambassador, pointing out the special features and drawing new residents over. And there\u2019s not just a cat shelter, there\u2019s a whole zoo of exotic animals and birds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and every week on the village green, we set up a big sheet and projector and have movie night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

@kate2kat<\/a> runs the local animal sanctuary and @involuntaryorange<\/a> operates a sex toy shop and @ladyprydian<\/a> has a cute independent yarn store where she takes knitting orders<\/p>\n

all three of them are also the town bakers<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then there’s the Superwood village that has like fifteen people but we all get along even if we occasionally have a random sheep wandering through the village green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
