emmuzkaI thought that finding your inner child was a joke, or that pseudo freudian psycho babble. Okay, its stil psycho babble, but now I kind of believe in it. I have been a fan of science fiction about ten years. Now I can see that I wasn't a fan, it was just a hobby. I still like it, but it lacks that love, that overwhelming feeling that beats all sense and logic.
it's a strange feeling to read these university level books about fans, their communities and their fan productivity, while *being one*. I feel like I have inside knowledge that most of the readers lack. I'm a Nsync fan. i don't go nuts over their songs, but I love that whole system, including both the official teen pop money crunching hype and the unofficial fan movement. I just love it.
The collecting is my newest hobby that just hit me in the head out of the blue. I have collected comics, but that was for reading, not for collecting. My My Little Pony collecting is really collecting for just the joy of it. It's unbelievable that I can have dreams about finding some particular pony or be so ecstatic to receive one, when two months ago I could have cared less. it's a mind fuck that I haven't been able to explain myself yet.
