science fiction fans 1930s-1970s: We love science fiction! We love the ideas! We love the sense of wonder! We love the visions of the future! We love reading about how technology will advance, and how technology will change society!

the same people 1980s-present: No, you're doing it wrong! You don't get science fiction from watching tv series and playing online games! You get it from reading paper books!

When I crossposted the entry on Fanlore to Tumblr I was reminded that there are pages at TVTropes for both Arthur, King of Time and Space and The Hero of Three Faces, and I allowed as that's probably more appropriate and isn't unappreciated.

I seached my name at Fanlore this week. With the exception of a Star Trek Voyager filk to the tune of the theme from Gilligan's Island having won an annual alt.startrek.creative award during the heyday of Usenet, I seem to have disappeared with the print fanzine era. That's what comes of hosting your work yourself to the exclusion of FF.net and AO3, I guess. Of course if it really mattered to me I would have looked before now.

My only interest in the Hugos thing is it's in microcosm the same thing that's wrong with US government this century. UK too I gather.

There is at the very least a master's thesis, if not a best-selling book, in it for someone to write about the way Doctor Who fandom and science fiction fandom and tv show fandom and baseball fandom and Beatles fandom, et al., fill the space left vacant in the Western human psyche since religion was kicked out of it by the Enlightenment. I'd love to write it myself except I have negative interest in doing the research.
