December 11, 1985 - Looking to find this episode of The Enthusiasts from Radio 4 in 1985 where Doctor Who fandom was observed.

February 28, 1985 - It's crazy how the press reported the resting of Doctor Who and how quickly fandom came together to protest.

Most of the problems in fandom today are because we've moved virtual I think... #fandom #fandomhistory
So called #proshippers built your fandom spaces #fandom #fandomhistory
The problem is that we've gone too virtual with fandom #fandom #fandomhistory #realhumanconnectionisgood
No, 12 year olds shouldn't be left unattended in fandom spaces. 😆 #fandom #fandomhistory
Fandom spaces are adult spaces. #fandom #fandomhistory
Quick question though, is Wattpad a thing currently? Like an actual serious platform for reading fic? Just saw a comment recommending it and didn't we leave that behind in like, 2009? #fandom #fandomhistory

THE FANGIRL'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY a handbook for GEEK GIRLS by SAM MAGGS
THE FANGIRL'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY a handbook for GEEK GIRLS by SAM MAGGS
I am a geek girl and I am a feminist. I embrace the word "Rangirl" with open arms. I don't have to prove my nerd cred to anyone, ever. Whether I'm a comics n00b, or a fic writer typing up her next chapter, or a hard-core gamer who sometimes forgets to sleep (not that I ever do that), no one else gets to decide whether I do or do not belong. From SuperWholock to Shakarian, I accept all fandoms and ships as equally meaningful and important in our geek girl lives. Even if your OTP is my NOTP, I will still like you (though I may have to unfollow your blog). I will support empowering, lady-created media and amazing female characters who make me feel like I could be Batgirl, if I just had some yellow Doc Martens and a vigilante complex. I'm the Doctor, not a companion; Buffy, not Bella; nobody's sidekick, love interest, or token female. I'm driving this ship. I'm a fangirl, a feminist, and a force to be reckoned with.
This handy little guide to the geek life is filled with everything a savvy fangirl needs to know, including > How to make nerdy friends > How to rock awesome cosplay > How to write fanfic with feels > How to defeat Internet trolls > How to attend your first con And more! Plus, insightful interviews with fangirl faves, like Jane Espenson, Erin Morgenstern, Kate Beaton, Ashley Eckstein, Laura Vandervoort, Beth Revis, Kate Leth, and many others. It's good to be a geek!
I forgot I owned this. Fuck I should reread this pfft from 2015 of all years
Flipped through and its honestly iconic pfft

Hysterical fangirls’ have existed for centuries:
1800s: Screaming over Liszt
1960s: Beatles mania
Today: K-pop stans
The difference? Now women own the narrative.
Your turn: Name a fandom that terrifies sexists. 👇

Ellie Turner and Karen Anderson in sci-fi babe cosplay at WorldCon 1961. They are standing in a rather dull hotel function room with wood paneling and floor, one is wearing a green gauze and sequins belly dancer-esque ensemble and the other is in a purple vest and loincloth over a flesh-colored leotard.
