Who do you think makes professional quality fanart and fanfic? People who've been practicing it for ten, fifteen, twenty years!

Or even people who've been practicing it for thirty, forty or fifty!!!!!

example: Diane Duane. Currently in her seventies. Star Trek fangirl since the original run. Goddess-level Ascended Fan who has created official tie-in works in more forms of media than pretty much anyone else alive, possibly even Rodenberry himself because they didn't have audiobooks or video games when he was with us. Writer of Spock's World, The Wounded Sky, Doctor's Orders in TOS. Co-writer of TNG script Where no one has gone before, and writer of the tie-in novel Dark Mirror among others. Writer of a half-dozen Star Trek Comics. She has adapted her own work for audio, has written for the Star Trek manga series, has written short Trek fiction for anthologies, and plotted and wrote the video game Star Trek: the Kobayashi Alternative.

In other fandoms, she was a personal friend of Terry Pratchett himself. As a scriptwriter, she's also worked in fandoms like Scooby-Doo, Transformers, My Little Pony, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, Spiderman: Unlimited (and a trilogy of tie-in novels still in print) and Barbie: Fairytopia. ...And that's just cherry-picking her imdb page.

While she can't give out specific details due to Obvious Reasons, she's still active in the Sherlock BBC fandom - and there's a specific subset of her fans who love guessing which of the legendary fanfics might be her work (I am not one of them, BTW, as it is None Of My Business. I'm old-school that way).

Fandom is not for teenagers. Fandom is for everyone of good heart and enthusiasm for a good (or even bad! No judgement!) story.

YES! A great summer popcorn movie; colorful, fun, over-the-top-nostalgia, and true to it's genre-blending zaniness. What made the original cartoon so great was it had every genre: medieval fantasy and sci-fi ships and lasers while characters ride dinosaurs. It was silly when it needed to be and serious when it needed to be, an absolute love letter to Master of the Universe fan and every 80’s cartoon cliche you can think of. It definitely wasn't dumb down, but I did feel dumb for taking too long to catch the pronoun reference joke, which was brilliant. And I like how we're not supposed to notice pre-He/Man Adam's buff bod *wink*.

Nicolas Galitzine was great as prince-stuck-on-earth Adam and then He-Man discovering his power and when to use it. Understandably it took time for him to adjust to Eternia after 15 years on earth and the "woke" indoctrination, which was surprisingly one of the movie's funniest scenes that even befuddled Skeletor. Speaking of which, one of the biggest surprise was how good Jared Leto was as Skeletor. Dude, I did not see Skeletor-the-gym-bro coming and now the possibilities are endless.

Nonetheless, Adam's earth's HR training means he knows his way around teamwork and offering his enemy options beyond their black&view motives. Naturally that doesn't always work, okay it mostly doesn't work, but Adam's offer of redemption is genuine and it's up to others' to accept the grace offered by Adam or not.

Nicolas earned his geek cred with original MotU fans and new fans. While the movie is a box office failure, I believe it will be a timeless cult hit, largely thanks to Nicholas' performance. His Adam/He-man has genuine earnest sincerity, innocence, and strength. He deftly handles the self-effacing humor and the raw emotion he must master in order to become a leader. The casting of Nicholas was a masterclass of casting the right person for the job. As silly and unapologetically over-the-top the movie was, it is also the movie that convinced me that Nicolas is leading man material.

Final score: 8.5 out of 10. One point deducted for spending ten minutes too long on earth, and half point deducted for not enough Battle Cat scenes.
