intergenerational fans

[firecat]

There's an "intergenerational fandom survey" being signal-boosted here:

https://fictional-fans.dreamwidth.org/70308.html

I tried to fill it out but I had problems starting with the question "when did you join fandom?"

Comment I left over there:

what does it mean to join fandom anyway? I didn't join it so much as soak in it for decades until I became increasingly saturated.

I decided to use when I got LJ as "joining fandom," even though I've been doing a lot of fannish things beforehand, but it was when I specifically was being social with others online about fan stuff. (Otherwise, I'm in fandom way earlier based on my watching and reading and writing fic.)
