The power thing is interesting. I think there's definitely some of that going on, the climbing. In my experience, some people lurk for a long time, sizing up the fandom, working out the hierarchy before they introduce themselves. Those people are genuinely entering a community and understand that there might be a niche in there somewhere they can claim. I was so naive about that. I didn't realize there would be a hierarchy. I read Lib's fic that described her own interactions with her friends, and I wanted to meet her. Beyond that, I really didn't understand the idea that fandom would be its own society.

I guess this is why there are people writing dissertations on fandom.
