Fandom and Creation: Interview with Space & Time Collective

✨Space & Time Collective✨ website | instagram | twitter | store | etsy

Stefanie Fiore (SF): Welcome! Let’s start off by finding out a little bit more about Space & Time Collective. How did you get started?

Caitlynn Fairbarns (CF): It started because we both love Star Wars! We were friends through a mutual friend, and we bonded over our Star Wars obsession!

Sophie Paas-Lang (SPL): This was about one year ago when the new Star Wars movie came out. We started messaging each other back and forth, talking about the movie, our thoughts, our feelings, that sort of thing. Eventually, around this time last year, we decided, “Hey! Let’s put our skills together.” I do illustration and graphic design, and Caitlynn writes about geek culture. So we decided we’d do a little fan zine together. We made one, and we thought that it was a lot of fun. It got a great response, so we thought why not team up and continue doing things together?

CF: There was that one meeting that we had, and it hit us, “Let’s take this seriously!”

SF: And since you’ve made that first zine, what has happened?

SPL: We’ve attended events, done our own events, and made more things together!
