 * I'm afraid I have to second Nidonocu's comment. Having read this article, I don't understand at all what's being said here or its relevance to the fandom.

I really think that this article should try to provide specific fandom-related examples, because as it stands, it seems to be a poorly-explained definition. Shira 00:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
