In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
In 2005, my 16 year old daughter died in an automobile accident. The people in Of Elves and Men (a Tolkien fandom group) called, sent flowers, letters, tiny gifts and tons of support and love, even from people I barely knew online. several of them made a book of works for me and sent it. I got poems and song recs that I still listen to this day. It didn't make the pain go away but it was an unexpected blessing.
In 2008, I was very ill and in the hospital for 6 weeks and again the cards, letters, and emails poured in from fandom friends for the whole time. Friends called and talked to my hubby and then me to see how I was doing. I felt their love and support from all over.
