Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom.
Well, there's meeting all you guys of course!
Seriously though, fandom has given me that outlet to ramble and speculate on about what's coming up next in my shows, to get recommendations for other media, to get to know people who like the same stuff as I do (when everyone around me is talking about who's going to get evicted from Reality TV Show X, which is of no interest to me, I have this outlet where I can talk about stuff I like to people who'll know what I'm talking about.
One post I read touched on researching things for fandom, and that's definitely been one I've done (German Christmas traditions were possibly of more interest to me than 2004's World Series - some of you can probably guess what that one related to! Or possibly both if you know me well enough to know which fandoms I'm absolutely obsessed with right now)
And fandom kept me going during the pandemic when everything else was going to shit and I didn't see my family for over a year (that's the worst of being scattered across Craphole Island aka the UK).
