Challenge #15

In your own space, opine on the future of fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So if you think about it, fandom has exited online for about only two decades. That's not actually much time at all in the grand scheme of things. So I hope the future of fandom will involve participants figuring out how to combine the best elements of the various permutations of fandom in that time: the close knit community vibe of the early online years, the increasing variety of fandoms, platforms, and engagement styles of the early aughts; the ease of locating communities, participants, and content of the late aughts, and the consideration for others' experiences of recent years...while jettisoning the negative aspects of those periods (e.g. clannishness, trolling, conflating "not my thing" with actively harmful content, and so on).
