Fandom Involvement: Just some musings - 0 views

  • Reading is active participation; whether we realize it or not, our mind is engaging with the text. Choosing not to comment does not constitute passive participation. These readers have watched/read/listened to the source text (text in the broad sense) and actively sough out more for some reason or another.
  • Whoa! There is no passive involvement in fandom!
  • There's a part of me that is really annoyed by "reading deeply." That whole school mentality. Sometimes, when an author describes red shoes, they just mean read shoes - not a journey, not separation from the womb, just SHOES. And, since it is fandom, I like to enjoy it on a superficial level. If it's for fun, I don't want to have to really think about it. Lazy.I can understand that. Though, my first though is that the author might have just meant "red shoes" but the reader brings more meaning than just that.

  • the author might have just meant "red shoes" but the reader brings more meaning than just that.
  • a writer is not fully in control of his/her reading, a reader brings new and different meanings to a reading, and culture and canon do the same
  • I love how half of fandom dies down for a month or two when it is time for college finals (not because everyone in fandom is a student but because half of fandom is grading papers).
  • I think for some of us, it's fun to take it seriously. I have a hard time just...relaxing and having fun with anything, though.
  • Once upon a time, being a fan was fun. And now there's fandom drama and politics and fansite mergers and splitaways and people being mad at each other and blackmailing and lawsuits and all sorts of fandomwank and some of that fun is no longer there, but at the same time it's so much more... meaningful. And it builds character.
