Fangirl:I'm really sad that people don't see fandoms the way I do.

Other Person: Well that's because it's stupid. You obsess over fictional characters, you stalk celebrities, and you make fanfiction and read fanfiction.

Fangirl: What's wrong with fanfiction?

Other Person: Fanfiction is just a bunch of horny 14 year old girls writing their ending to a movie or a book. And it's all terrible and about sex.

Fangirl: That's not true!

Other Person: Then why don't you show me what you're reading when I ask?

Fangirl: Because...

Other Person: That's what I thought.

Fangirl: You don't understand.

Other Person: I understand completely: you all waste your lives over things that aren't real, you lazy around and will soon become fat, and you don't socialize with people.

Fangirl: Some... of that may be true... but the fandoms are my family. Other fans care about other fans, the celebrities care about their fans, not all fanfiction is about sex and what not, and socializing on the interwebs is so much better because people understand exactly what you're going through and how you feel. The fandoms are my family and they care.

Other Person: They don't care about you. They don't even know you. Do you care about them?

Fangirl: Yes.

Other Person: Then what's their name? Where do they live? You can't care THAT much and not know their names.

Fangirl:... sure I can...
