Okay, HP fandom. You have some splainin' to do. Victoria Bitter? Really?

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.
