Featured Article: 6 Degrees of Canada

This week’s Featured Article is 6 Degrees of Canada. This multifandom fandom grew out of the due South community. It is also known as Canadian 6 Degrees or C6D, a term most likely coined in 2005 to describe a wider range of fandoms.

C6D is a mega fandom that includes any show filmed in Canada that includes the actors, Paul Gross, David Marciano, or Callum Keith Rennie, from due South. Fannish drift is a topic in C6D. Due to their connection to more visible shows, some smaller, "offshoot" fandoms developed enough activity enough to draw attention independently from the original fandom, and became relatively self-sufficient.

CALLUM KEITH RENNIE as Captain Rayner in Star Trek: Discovery

[gayvecchio]

It recently occurred to me that one of my fave feel good/comfort movies, Big Eden, could be included as part of C6D because it stars Eric Schweig who was in the due South pilot.

Big Eden is a sweet film about a gay man who returns to his small hometown in Montana to take care of his ill grandfather, and pretty much the whole town then proceeds to play matchmaker between him and the local general store owner, Pike (Eric Schweig).

This film means a lot to me as Native/Indigenous representation is hard to come by, and queer Native/Indigenous rep even more so. I highly recommend it to any dS/C6D fans, and anyone in general, who wants to watch a lovely queer romance.
