I weirdly love that there are crotchety fandom elders around who say shit like “in my day, (insert fandom term) meant this specifically, but now you kids just use it to mean any old thing.”

It seriously gives fandom such a sense of heritage and family, like yes grandma, tell me more about how you had to write fic uphill both ways in the snow when you were my age.

you darn kids and your drabbles that aren’t exactly 100 words

In the OLDEN DAYS antis had to stand in front of your HOTEL ROOM DOOR to stop people from buying photocopied zines with the wrong ship in them.
