You know, I have never made a very good fan.
I never really expend a lot of energy into joining groups or finding out new things about my particular fandom (even though I have to admit it would probably be interesting and rather fun), not since I was a major Backstreet Boys fan in fifth or sixth grade and spent hours online reading about them, saving hundreds of pics, attempting to chat with people about them (the first foray I made into a chatroom, I was ignored, which kind of sucked -- I may have been a newb who thought "Hey, BSB chatroom means we talk about BSB, right?", but that's no reason to blow me off...). I'm just the most passive, "Oh, yeah, that was cool. Wanna go write half-assed fanfic now?" admirer of whatever I'm into I've ever run into. I don't spend hours looking up stuff on my fandoms (though that might be a good thing now), and to be frank, half the time I don't really care.
I dunno. Does anyone else think I should try and be a better fan?
