HEYO I AM PRINCESS X FANDOM (aka me and like 3 other people)

So I was rereading I am Princess X a couple weeks ago when I realized I didn’t know when the book takes place. It’s never actually mentioned in the book at all. So I started combing through pieces of pop culture mentioned to try and figure it out. Patrick uses some tech which would date the book, but not much. The iPad and Patrick’s use of Reddit means the book had to take place after 2010, but they’d still a decent chunk of time. After a while, I found something useful: a throwaway line at the end of Chapter 2 where May mentions ending the day by watching the Venture Bros. on Netflix with her dad. With a bit of digging, I discovered that the Venture Bros was added on Netflix after 2010 on September 15th 2014 and removed from Netflix on May 6th 2015. Now we know the book takes place in June because May finds the first Princess X sticker on June 1st. This means the book takes place in 2015, probably in an alternate universe where the Venture Bros wasn’t removed in May

She slapped me. When I didn’t react, she raised her hand again. This time I caught her arm. “How dare you,” she breathed. “What are you talking about?” I said. Her face was an inch from mine.

There is no fandom for Salt to the Sea. Such a fandom does not exist, but I find that romance element a little bit funny, especially because of the answers Florian thinks of when Joana asks him questions like “What are you doing after the war?” 

You can read that book. It’s historical fiction and it was my favorite book at one point. It’s a worthwhile read and there are multiple POVs, such as a girl who is a victim of the war, a zealous sailor devoted to his country, a girl wracked by guilt, and a thief who’s stolen something priceless.

The problem with being a fan of things that no one else has heard of is that no one gets your jokes/references. 

For example, I'm a huge fan of the webcomic Sluggy Freelance. However, none of my college friends know it, so when I make jokes about Satan's Kittens, murderous rabbits who just wanna watch Baywatch and drink alfalfa margaritas, sugar-high ferrets, that damn unreliable inflatable tech, The Sampire, and CROTCH! no one understands me and I'm "that crazy chick."
