Thank you for sharing your fandom story ...Hi Trish! Thank you for sharing your fandom story <3<br /><br />I think we're all in our own fandoms, one way or another, throughout our whole lives. So really, we're all fangirls and fanboys in our own way -- it's close to impossible to really just hate everything, isn't it? Fandom is love, and love is good for the soul (and the body too, according to science!). I'm happy to hear that it's done a lot of good for you :)<br /><br />I totally forgot that the people from Free! are still supposed to be in high school!! That's completely insane. No one has the right to be that fine, and then there are like seven of them with beautiful abs and biceps?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570362174038925923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777301153928091753.post-77996309950000311442014-06-14T09:23:55.656-07:002014-06-14T09:23:55.656-07:00PaCho, hello!!! So great to finally see the site u...PaCho, hello!!! So great to finally see the site up; I'm browsing along bit by bit but I just knew I had to leave a comment on your article, haha. Let's see if I make any sense.<br /><br />I've always been a fangirl one way or another, ever since I got hooked on Winnie-the-Pooh when I was around two, but I only really got into fandom when I was in Grade 4 - so I was around 9y/o? I had just got out of a really toxic friendship, and somewhere along the way I got really into Cardcaptor Sakura. It was a slow process - my net connection was (still is) slow as turtles climbing Mount Everest, and the fics I did back then were subpar at best - but I read fic and watched vids and made friends and it made me feel better about myself. I begun feeling more confident about myself. I've always been outspoken, in some way or another - but that little dip into fandom matters made me get out of my shell, I guess. Made me stop being a crybaby and start actually living my life.<br /><br />The first time I would actually play such an active part in a fandom I consider myself a part of would've been in Hetalia PH - I was in high school back then, and that's where I met you and everyone else. Some of the best years of my life. In the meanwhile real life continued being rather...moody towards me, for lack of a better term; I did well academically but it seems that so far as IRL relationships are concerned I really am a magnet for toxic friendships. But I couldn't find myself caring - because I had fics and art and vids and stuff that, while not the best of quality, were mine (take that, subpar NCAE 'creativity' grade), and had people who actually liked talking to me of their own volition (take that, everyone who'd ever said nobody'd ever want to be friends with me), and it was tremendously helpful. <br /><br />I can't say I've fallen so low as to now be able to say that fandom saved my life, but it's gone pretty close.<br /><br />...anyway. Now I'm an (almost graduating!) college student, and I spend my rare moments of free time writing about swim boys too attractive that I can't believe they're supposed to be younger than me (but seriously - the difference between me and Rei is three whole years????), and real life does get a bit crappy and tedious sometimes as it usually does, but I know I'm still always gonna have fandom, and the lovely people I met through it, and believe it or not, that thought makes all the difference.<br /><br />(Oh wow, I am such a sap. No wonder I write romance fic.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109955008897476403noreply@blogger.com
