Fannish Fifty Challenge: Post # 12: Fandom Has Enriched My Life

[ride_4ever]

Yesterday I posted on LJ about it being my 12th LJversary and that it pretty much coincides with my general fanniversary. I want to share here that one of the comments I received (from grey853) was "Oh, happy day! I hope fandom has enriched your life as much as it has mine," and I want to share here the comment I made back to her. I responded with "Yes, fandom has enriched my life so much: given me a sense of community, widened my circle of friends, sparked my creativity, turned me into a traveller who attends cons and who gets invited to visit fan-friends both in my home country and abroad. (And I embody my fandom love 24/7 with my due South tattoos on both arms from shoulder to wrist.)

Thank you kindly!

(And you're certainly one of the people I'm so glad to have met in fandom. Plus sharing talk about the library biz.)

I have a great time talking about libraries. :) I rarely attend my state library association conferences and it's fun seeing what other librarians are doing. It's also great meeting fans with different fandom interests. :)

More library talk when I email.

And I've been feeling like I need a vacation day at home to get caught up on emails. /o\
