It's my first time being that involved in a fandom, in a fandom that feels like a small village.
I read a fic and head to the comment section, and take a look at the list of user names that already left kudos before me and… I know this one from tumblr, this other from twt or discord.
This one is my friend, this one secretly speaks my native language even if we're all using English here. This one made me want to learn a new language just so I could read their fics without relying on a translator.
This one is new to the fandom and very dedicated (I know, because they posted their first fic a few weeks ago, and I've seen their name at the top of the kudos list on so many fics since then).
This once has been there since the beginning, posting fics before I even watched the movie. This one left kudos and comments on my own fics.
This one draws wonderful fanart and is actually the reason why I've come to read this exact fic in the first place.
This one wrote this fic that didn't particularly touch me, but that my friends love so much, I will reread it again and again until I understand.
This one wrote this wonderful fic, left unfinished months ago, and then disappeared, and I hope they are alright.
This one writes so wonderfully that I swear I'll fanbind their fics and then ask to be buried with them.
This one wrote a fic that broke my heart into tiny pieces and I felt like I would never be whole again afterwards.
This one was one of the first to welcome me into the fandom.
For the first time, I understand what a fandom is. It's not a license, a name, a tag to find and create content. For the first time, I understand that a fandom is a community, and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
