Actually I think we started veelainc the mailing list RIGHT before new year's eve in 2000. You were NOT out of fandom in 2001 you liar. Well maybe late 2001, but not hardly.

Hrrr. Wait, maybe you're right. I was 20 when it started, so it'd have to be 2001... (I know cos I was in the UK) so I'd say by mid-2002 I was outies. Well, trying to outties. My fiction novels that were done on our little writers com were written when I was 21, 22 and 23 and date to 2002, 2003 and 2004. So I guess we were still in fandom but we'd already crawled off to make our own sekrit website and do our own sekrit shit.

Yeah. I was still moderately paying attention 5 years ago in library school, when I went home for the weekend and there was some wank going on related to me that a classmate had to tell me about. Ha! Now I am safely ignored again.

hahaha

Can I just point out something hilarious? His community fan thing has about 130 members and 170 watchers.

THAT'S A BNF IN HP FANDOM NOW?!?!?!!? HAHAHAHA

Am I missing something? Has HP been haemorraging fans??? Veela had over a thousand in about a month. And that was AT THE START OF FANDOM. WHEN THERE WERE LIKE NO PEOPLE.

I KNOW. I was wondering about that too. Perhaps fandom splintered that badly. Sad. This is in het fandom, too. I bet slash fandom BNFs would have bigger followings than that.

I thought het had some pretty big followings, weirdly. R/Hr shippers and the like. Hr/Sn and so on.

I know so did I! Maybe het fandom died fast after the last book came out? All they wanted to know was who ended up with whom, after all.
