I
have always been a fangirl. Even before I knew there was a term for it.
I
think I was eight when I first realised that the way I felt about TV shows,
movies and books was different to the way other people felt. I realised that
caring the way that I cared about fictional characters was considered a bit
weird if not delusional. I accepted this because I have always been seen as a
little bit weird so adding another item to my list of quirks wasn’t the worst
thing that could happen.
But
being a fan isn’t all of it because I am also a fan of something very specific;
Sci-Fi and Fantasy two things that have been and still are associated with
childhood.
