Great stuff as always. Nodded along furiously to this: "Fandom used to empower fans to create their content to carry on when they were let down or the source text was completed. Stans are too reliant on industry feedback and too aware of the zero-sum nature of the present cultural ecosystem to take their toys and go home."

In all seriousness, this is all great stuff. Looking forward to learning more about the Buffy fandom; it was a phenomenon that I was *aware* of, but never knew much about.
