Trismegistus

that's a good point, that online fandom isn't that old in the grand scheme of things. (i'd say older than a couple decades too, tho. i mean, there were fandom usenet groups and i remember having fancasting conversations in online forums in the early-mid 90s.) there's been enough different fannish spaces for people to take the good and leave the bad and (theoretically) make a new space.
