Day 14
In your own space, talk about what you think the future holds for fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Hmmm.... I don't really know. Tumblr was great for a lot of things (although not everything) but pretty affected by the whole flagging/purging/deleting thing although a decent swath of fandom has kept trucking along there. There's Pillowfort and Mastadoon (or something like that?), but I know very little about either haven't been impressed with what I saw of them and they don't seem terribly talked about in spaces I frequent so who knows what's happening there. Discord has some great (and very much not so great) servers where there's been some wonderful opportunity for fannish discussions and content creation, but finding the right fit of a server for you isn't always easy...
Yeah, I dunno. I got nothing. All I know is fandom will persevere. It's been going since long before those "Baker Street Irregular' clubs sprung up well over a century ago and will continue to keep chugging along, it'll just keep finding different ways to bring people together.
