"What has been your most memorable moment within the fandom?"

That would be my birthday last year. I got b-day wishes and picspams (from you, dear milly_gal!) and gifs and posts and ART, and-- and-- so much wonderful stuff!! I just glowed with joy (and still do, remembering it <3). My birthdays have mostly been bummers, so I was so happy and surprised at all the love I got that day! Fandom is this magical place where skills you used to think were useless are valuable, and fascinations you thought were weird are welcome, and the way you've been regarded all your life can be entirely different.

It's awesome, isn't it? <3

Hells, yeah! :-)

Yes, sometimes I think Fandom is like escaping to Narnia or Oberon, or something, a secret world all our own.

Seriously. The kind of things that can happen here, the kinds of gifts virtual strangers (well, that is VIRTUAL friends, RL strangers) sometimes give, it's like nothing else in the world.

*blushes and hugs* Isn't this place we've built for ourselves so very lovely?

I always feel like it's 'coming home' at the end of the day to sit and catch up on all the going on of my girls and I love spreading the joy. birthdays are the best because you can share what you love with someone who will appreciate it just as much.

I'm so glad we helped make your day brighter :)

It is indeed! Yeah, a very friendly place where we all meet on one wavelength.

It's such a happy memory for me--thank you!
