Yeah things can get creepy and sleazy and slimy, but even that distasteful fiction or reworking of the fiction can then itself be recontextualized or even rooted out or used by somebody else. So it’s like a palimpsest, right? That’s a story that’s rewritten, and you write your own story on top of it and somebody else can write on top of it. And then the whole writing on rewriting of stuff becomes its own thing. And I feel like that’s my ultimate ideal of a fandom.
