Snowflake Challenge - Day 2

[madebyme_x]

In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul.

Supernatural introduced me to fandom. Before it there were many shows that I enjoyed and would watch over and over, but nothing made me seek out more; whether that was spoilers, photos, interviews etc. It was while looking for something more that I stumbled across fanfiction, and then the idea of fandom in general.

Over the years my experience of SPN fandom has changed. I've gone from being an anonymous lurker and commenter, to opening accounts and posting stories, to taking part in challenges, and meeting and interacting with a whole group of people who I consider friends. This is a huge thing for me, something that I hope has changed me in a positive way, and certainly something that has enriched my life. So yes, Supernatural has left a mark, and a very big and important one too.

That's awesome. :)

Thank you! It's funny looking back at time when I didn't even know what fandom was, and then thinking about how important it is to me now :)

Awww, finding fandom enriched my life too. It's amazing how one grows as a fan. Trying new things and opening up. ♥

Absolutely!!! It's hard to imagine a life without fandom, and how different I would be as a person. Over the years it has allowed me express my creativity, and to meet so many people from all over the world, and open my mind to such a huge and important world that I didn't know was out there!

Thank you so much for stopping by :)

Finding Fandom made me a easier person to live with a lot of the time. I had so much pent up stuff going on and had no idea how to use the excess energy.

Fandom is so important, right? I think sometimes I don't fully think or realise what a profound effect it's had on my life, and how it's shaped me as a person. Thank you for commenting :)

It gives a lot of us an outlet when we really need it, it also tempers any feelings of loneliness. ♥
